    Thanks for demonstrating this. It's surprising how many vids tell you to flip the edge tiles over, mark and cut, which I knew was wrong, but I wasn't sure what else to do. I've got it now 🙂

      The reason they say to flip the tile upside down is so that you don't cut the pile "at an angle" from the top potentially causing lost pile making the join more obvious.

      @@greeneyedcat2748 It only works if the edge is perfectly square to the tiles. Otherwise the diagonal runs the wrong way.

    You explain perfectly the laying of carpet tile where a person who have never installed carpet tiles before . They can now understand how to DIY this project. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.

    Thanks, I have a small room to do its not perfect 90' angles so a big help. Do you rotate certain tiles, the last floor I had the guy rotated the tiles through 90' or does it depend on a pattern?

    You ever think of just maybe lifting the Inner tile on top of the wall tile and cutting it like Vice versa so you don’t work double and you actually should be running a chalk line filling in the center before doing your cuts. 🇺🇸😉

  • @Bitterrootbackroads

    Please, drop the stupid irritating music. People view videos on laying carpet tiles for content. My ears are getting old and to catch all the spoken info I maybe play a little louder. The canned music, that you maybe see as “background”, is just “up front” noise that I must attempt to forcibly ignore and listen through. Believe me, it adds NOTHING and makes video impossible to watch. I could type this response for many channels but I mostly just hit dislike and “stop”.
