Thank you Ted.
The only other thing that concerns me, is how well the tiles stay down on a cement basement floor. I am worried about the vacuum cleaner pulling them up or people's shoes catching the edges and flipping them up. I realize that because you sell them, you're obligated to push the good points, but I just don't see the tiles staying down very well. Perhaps I am just skeptical, but do they really stay anchored that well to the cement floor? Even over long periods of time (years of wear?)
Because the tiles are actually more expensive than wall to wall carpeting, I want to make sure they look good and do their job should I decide to go this route. I like the fact that should they get wet, I can just remove a small area and replace, so the tiles seem like a good option in theory. I just worry about how they will stay down compared to glue down squares.
Thanks,

Hi Eric!
I don't blame you for being cautious. I've been selling and installing Milliken carpet for about twenty years and I haven't had any issues with the carpet coming up during vacuuming or even extraction cleaning. In fact the TractionBack adhesive is not intended to "stick" the carpet to the floor. It is intended primarily for keeping the carpet from shifting laterally. Milliken makes an extremely stable carpet tile and it's natural tendency is to remain firm on the floor. I hope this helps. Thanks again for your interest!
