Broadloom is commonly stretched over cushion and produces fewer visible joints across a room. Carpet tile is generally bonded or secured directly to the substrate and feels firmer underfoot. Individual tiles can be replaced after stains or damage. Broadloom repairs may require a patch or replacement of a larger section. Room use, comfort, acoustics, seams, repair needs, moisture, and installation cost should guide the choice.
