Arrows on Back of Carpet Tiles

Carpet tiles. They’re DIY-friendly, customizable, and come in a variety of textures and patterns. Curious as to why carpet tiles have arrows on the back? The answer is that the arrows play a crucial factor in installation layout and design.
Firstly, the arrows indicate the direction the carpet face fibers, or pile, runs. If you turn the tile, this changes the tile’s pile direction, and there is a chance your carpet tiles’ color will look different in certain lighting compared to the tiles around it!
Watch our Arrows On Back of Carpet Tile video for styling techniques and the most recommended carpet tile layout for both residential and commercial.
Whatever you choose to do, the arrows on the back will help you stay consistent with your design. We promise you’ll be a pro in no time!
