Ashlar Formats
In the Ashlar installation formats, each row of carpet
tiles is shifted 8 inches, either in a brick format or
vertically (see diagrams to the left). This is a three-step
process, i.e. each successive row of tiles must be off-
set one-third the length of the tile. It is not acceptable
to shift the tiles only one-half the length of the tiles
(two-step process). This installation method maintains
the random appearance of the carpet tiles, eliminating
line-on-line or dark-on-dark effects that can create a
skewed look in the nished installation.
Please Note: Carpet tile products installed in the Ashlar
format will not have the same nished appearance as
the same product in a broadloom (12’ width).
Multi-Directional Format
(Follow No Order)
Tiles are to be placed without being concerned with
the arrow direction (random). Mixing tiles from various
boxes during installation will further blend color and
design elements. This process is essential for achieving
optimal aesthetics.
