Ideal Bite

Ever wished you could replace only the portion of the carpet stained by your dog or run ragged in the hallway?

The Bite:

Purchase modular carpets (tiles which can be individually replaced) made of natural and 100% recyclable/renewable/biodegradable materials. Their lifetime cost of ownership is much lower and the health & “wallet” benefits are tremendous. Plus, you can’t see the tiles.

The Benefits:

Much lower cost over the entire lifespan of the carpet. And lower or equal initial costs (anywhere from $3.00 sq ft to $8.00 sq ft).
Easy installation by piece onto the floor. You can also mix & match tiles to create the right design for the room.
Safe for use by people who are allergic to drapery and traditional carpets.

Personally Speaking:

Jen’s always been impressed with Interface carpeting since they broke the mold, while Heather is more of a hardwood kind of girl.

Wanna Try:

Interface Inc. - The most published and celebrated carpet company for its sustainability practices.
Tandus – Excellent carpets from a company deeply committed to a holistic program of sustainable initiatives.
Green Sage - More sustainable carpeting options.
