Mohawk Basics 24 in x 24 in Smoke Berber Carpet Tile (96 sq ft)

Our review of the Mohawk Basics 24 in x 24 in Smoke Berber carpet tile finds it best for DIYers and homeowners who want a durable, low-maintenance flooring solution for secondary spaces. The biggest reason to buy is reliable performance: these PET fiber tiles resist soil and stains, tolerate moisture from spills and water extraction cleaning, and install flat so they stay true over time. Packing 24 tiles per carton covers 96 sq ft and the product ships at a manageable weight, making it easy to handle during an install without heavy lifting or special equipment.

Key Features

• EnviroStrand PET fiber: Provides a fiber that is stain-resistant and easy to clean, keeping high-traffic rooms looking presentable with minimal effort.
• Textured loop construction: The Berber loop pile hides wear and foot traffic while offering a low 0.07 in pile height that stays level.
• Moisture impervious tiles: Tiles withstand spills and water extraction cleaning so you can maintain them without worrying about moisture damage.
• Two installation options: Choose glue-down for permanent installs or FlexLok floating with tabs for a nonpermanent layout when tabs and adhesive are purchased separately.
• 24 tiles per carton: Each carton covers 96 sq ft and weighs about 41 lbs, making it simple to estimate coverage and carry pieces during installation.

Who It's For

This carpet tile is ideal for homeowners fitting a basement, home office, playroom, guest bedroom, or small home gym who want a durable, visually neutral floor that is easy to install and clean. It suits DIY installers who prefer manageable cartons and straightforward glue-down or floating options.

It is less suited for those seeking plush residential carpeting or a designer-grade visible texture; the 0.07 in loop pile favors function over softness. Also, anyone requiring pre-included FlexLok tabs or adhesive should note those items must be bought separately.
