Despite its many advantages and unique features, modular carpet is often the subject of unfounded rumors that undermine its reputation and overshadow its true benefits.
However, these persistent myths don’t reflect the reality of a product designed for innovation, aesthetics, and durability. Whether optimizing commercial interiors, facilitating installation, or enhancing comfort in shared environments, modular carpet continues to evolve to adapt to changing needs.
In this article, we address five common misconceptions and provide clarity on the realities of carpet tiles, helping designers and architects make well-informed decisions.
Fact: Modular carpet is a safe flooring option, recognized for meeting strict indoor air quality standards.
A common misconception suggests that carpet tiles worsen allergies and negatively impact indoor air quality. However, research indicates that carpet plays a vital role in reducing allergen exposure by trapping airborne particles within its fibers. This prevents allergens from circulating in the air, unlike hard surfaces, where dust and allergens remain suspended for extended periods.
In 2013, the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), withdrew their previous recommendation to avoid carpets for individuals with asthma and allergies. Their updated stance acknowledges that carpets do not present a heightened risk for these conditions. Furthermore, carpet tiles offer the advantage of easy removal and replacement, simplifying maintenance and ensuring optimal hygiene.
As for concerns regarding volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, they are strictly regulated. At Venture Carpets, our products are Green Label Plus, guaranteeing low VOC emissions and ensuring healthy indoor air quality.

Fact: Modular carpet offers unique and varied customization options.
In reality, modular carpet is one of the most versatile flooring solutions in terms of design, offering unlimited customization possibilities. Each carpet tile can be arranged independently, allowing complete creative freedom to design patterns, define specific zones, or even integrate wayfinding elements directly into the flooring.
Whether you’re looking to incorporate neutral tones or bold, dynamic patterns, the possibilities are endless.

Fact: Modular carpet is ideal for commercial spaces.
Engineered with high-quality materials, modular carpet offers a remarkable wear resistance and longevity. Commonly used in commercial spaces, its structure is designed to withstand compression, ensuring that fibers retain their form, texture, and color overtime.
Additionally, fiber composition plays a crucial role in both visual durability and performance. Our team of experts has meticulously optimized fiber construction, achieving a lower modification ratio than the industry standard, which significantly enhances longevity.
Beyond its wear resistance, modular carpet also provides sound absorption and enhanced underfoot comfort, making it an ideal flooring solution for environments where users spend extended periods standing.
Fact: Modular carpet installation is quick and easy.
Many assume that installing or replacing modular carpet is a complex procedure. In reality, carpet tiles offer a strategic way to transform spaces quickly and efficiently.
Our solutions ensure a fast and simple installation through:
Furthermore, when refreshing the aesthetic of a space or adapting it to evolving needs, individual tiles can be replaced without disrupting the entire installation.
