Carpet Tiles and Squares for Classroom - Back to School Sale!

Classroom Carpet tiles and squares are a great alternative to an educational rug if you or your school system are strapped for funds!

OwenCarpet.com is having a sale for the month of August on our 24" x 24" , first quality commercial carpet tiles for Teachers! In August only, we are selling these tiles for only $1.50 each!!! (That's just $0.375 per foot!)(not including shipping).

There are two ways you can use these great carpet tiles or squares.


1. You can assemble the tiles and squares (we have easy to use, do -it -yourself kits called Mr Stickee available for $5.99) into a rug for use during different sessions during the school day. Sessions like reading, story time, projects, etc.

2. An interesting way we have been seeing some teachers use these is as loose tiles and squares. The thought is you can have the children lay them out for use as a temporary rug for certain times and then have them help to put them back up when the floor time is done. That way you can also have them get their own tile to use if they have a quiet reading or play time and then put back up when they are done.


Here is an example of how cheap these are:

A 4' by 6' rug would use only 6 tiles (the tiles or squares are 24" x24"). 6 tiles are only $9.00 total plus shipping (no tax if shipped outside of GA).

A bigger rug, a 6' x 8' is 12 tiles. 12 tiles are only $18.00!

An even bigger, MONSTER sized rug of 8' by 10' is 20 tiles. 2o tiles would be just $30.00!!!! You could sit 20 students on the floor on these comfortable carpet tiles and squares for only $30.00! An educational rug this size will be $600-$900. Teachers finally have an affordable way to put something nice down for their kids!

Here's how it works. In August we are offering our 24" x 24" first quality carpet tiles for $1.50 each plus shipping (no tax outside if ships outside GA). We have plenty of these in stock in small lots. We have almost hundreds of colors. We do not have time to put all of these on the web due to time constraints. The easiest way is to come in to our showroom and pick them out yourself (this would also save you on shipping). We within a hours drive of Atlanta and Chattanooga. We are within 2 hrs or so of Huntsville, Birmingham, Knoxville and Nashville. We would be glad to give you directions!

If you aren't within driving distance, just give us a call and tell us the colors you are looking for and we can see what we have in stock and ship you an assortment of carpet tiles that are in that color scheme or schemes. We've had many teachers ask for a checkerboard, multi assortment to give a lively quilted look.
To take part in this promotion, you must call us and specifically mention the teacher August special on the Oliver Twist tiles. The number for OwenCarpet.com is 1-800-626-6936. You can reach us by phone Monday through Friday 8:30am until 6pm Eastern and on Saturdays from 9am until 2pm.

You can check out some of our other carpet tiles as well, but these on the web are not on the teahcer special. You can check out similar styles on our website here at Cheap Carpet Squares. They aren't on the special but can give you an idea of what the tiles may look similar to. Also it's worth mentioning that these are not the cheap foam squares you may have seen. These are first quality, commerical carpet squares and tiles that you may have seen in airports, hotels, convention centers, restaurants etc. They look great and will hold up to an army or traffic and wear!
This promotion is a Back to School Special only for August. Be sure to let others know about this and give us a call to let us help you cover your classroom floor! We can't wait to hear from you!

Classroom Rugs - It's almost that time


Well, It's last July and almost time to start getting back into gear for the upcoming school year. Teacher's are getting ready to back in a few weeks. If you're a Teacher and working on a new theme for your classroom, consider a cheap classroom rug! At OwenCarpet.com, we have many different styles and themes to help you set the right tone for your class.


We have available themes with Animals (Safari and Bumblebees seem to be huge), Maps, Numbers, Letters, Character Traits, Science, Water, Symbols, Reading, Math, and the list goes on and on.


At Owen Carpet we work with Teachers in a variety of ways. We deeply discount first quality rugs to help you get the exact rug you want. We also keep in stock, factory promotionals that are still first quality, but at a fraction of the cost due to how we stock rolls of carpet and then cut you the custom size you want. This method can save a Teacher up to 50%! We even carry seconds and off goods to give even deeper discounts.


Times are tough for everyone right now, including Teachers and School Systems. Don't overpay for a classroom rug just because it's in a catalog handed out at the school or you think you can't afford one! OwenCarpet.com accepts all forms of payment including purchase orders from Schools and School Systems!


To find the absolutely best deal in the Country on Teaching or Educational Classroom Rugs, give us a call @ 1-800-626-6936 and let us know if you have a particular style you want or even better, give us your theme and let us find you an in stock deal to save you even more.

Carpet Tiles for Classrooms

****Update 7/30/09****** We have Carpet Tiles on sale for Teachers in the Month of August!!!
Please see our recent post discussing this here at Classroom Carpet Tile Sale. We have Carpet tiles for teachers on sale for only $1.50 a TILE!!!!!!!!!!!



I have run into an interesting concept and wanted to pass it along. At OwenCarpet.com, we sell both Kids Classroom rugs as well as Carpet Tiles. It wasn't until recently that a teacher ran an idea across me that it made sense that carpet tiles could be used in lieu of rugs as an inexpensive way for children to have a place to play and read in the classroom.


One obvious way to use the carpet squares and tiles in a class is to group them together using tape to form a large, solid area for reading time or a session to teach a concept. By using just simple double sided tape they hold together well and will hold up to an army of traffic if you use the commercial carpet tiles.


However the concept I had never thought of was her idea. Why put them down with tape? Just let the children help put them out in an area to use and then help to put them back up when the carpet tile rug isn't being used. Even better, when reading or quiet time comes, let the students get their tile out of a stack and use it for their own space for reading or projects and when the student is done, put his/her own tile back up. It's a neat concept! If you use tiles that are 24"x24" they are big enough to do this concept and still light enough for the children to handle. Further more, these tiles can be cheap, very cheap. We sell large single color lots of these for as low as $.89 per foot, but can do them as low as $.50 a foot if you're willing to take an assorted, mix and match (we pick em) selection. That's just $2 a tile! If you have 15 students that is just $30 for tiles that will last for years in your classroom!


If this is something that sounds interesting to you, please give us a call at Owencarpet.com, 1-800-626-6936. Of course we still give great deals on classroom rugs too!
