When you pick up the tiles for the first time, you notice that they are very flat. This prevents unpleasant unevenness in the floor when you walk into a room tiled with felt.
The tiles appear to be cut precisely to the specified 40 x 40 cm, which makes them much easier to lay.
The felt feels pleasant and makes a robust impression.
Overall, the first impression of the product is positive and it can be assumed that the felt tiles are durable and can be used for a long time.

This product was subjected to extensive practical testing. The tiles were tested with different types of footwear. The test showed that they absorb noise very well and allow you to move quietly across them. The light fastness remains unchanged when exposed to sunlight ; the dark tiles appear only slightly lighter in strong sunlight, but still correspond to the original colour. In terms of comfort , the carpet tile impressed with its pleasant feel and the comfortable sensation when walking barefoot on it . The odour test showed that the fabric tiles are completely odourless and do not smell artificial or chemical in any way. The product is scratch-resistant – it has been tested on domestic cats. The product proved to be robust against the cats’ claws, so a certain degree of durability can be assumed.
In practical tests, the fabric tiles impressed in particular with their easy installation and pleasant surface feel .
