FLOR tiles -- reviews?
Hi, I’m thinking of getting some FLOR tiles to make a big area rug in my living room. Does anyone have any reviews of them, good or bad? Thanks!

Sorry for the triple post. I accidently hit “submit” twice when the phone distracted me.
I installed FLOR carpet tiles in my art studio … essentially the second bedroom. I used the low pile Fedora … a recycled poly. I chose this because I use a rolling computer chair and needed something that wouldn’t impede the chair’s movement and because it’s rated for medium traffic.
My only complaint is that the wheels of the chair have marked the tiles and it’s noticeable; interestingly enough, only on the darker color. I used 3 colors to create a pattern.
I find them easy to clean. I accidently spilled coffee on the tiles one morning and just wiped it up and patted it with a wet towel to absorb the coffee and then sprayed with clear water to rinse, reabsorbed and let it dry. It came perfectly clean. In the event of a more difficult stain, the company recommends removing the tile, washing it under the faucet and letting it dry before reapplying with new adhesive dots.
I would not use FLOR tiles for a heavily trafficked or living room where I wanted a nicer look; but for my purposes, it works fine. I couldn’t beat the cost … I created an 8’x10′ carpet for under $200.

We have them in our kids’ bedroom. They pick up an amazing amount of lint, fuzz etc. And there’s no border, so they look sort of unfinished.
however, they are really easy to clean (medium pile) and are certainly cheaper than an equivalent sized area rug. A couple of times we’ve pulled off individual tiles for deep spot cleaning.
I can’t really comment on the wear issue because we don’t wear shoes inside.
All in all, I think you get what you pay for. It’s nice to be able to customize the layout (ours are in a T-shape).
I second this opinion – they don’t really look as nice as they do in the catalogue.
We’ve had several flor tile carpet products in different locations throughout different houses and even though they look like a good idea, and look nice in the catalog (which comes incessantly every month) they don’t really hold up as well as one would like. Heavy traffic seems to really mean, medium traffic if you get a dark color or light traffic if you get a light color. If you put them in your living room you will definitely see a traffic pattern of dirt after a while. If this does not bother you, fine but a better quality rug or carpet seems to hold up better. And we did not purchase the “cheap” ones either. We personally are not going to buy these any more. And, you do get what you pay for. We also had them in a bathroom, ughh! after a while.
