Renovate your building without closing for business

Organisations are often looking to renovate their offices, schoolrooms or public spaces, though preferably without causing any inconvenience to their staff, visitors or residents. To facility managers and project coordinators, avoiding downtime is often just as important as the result itself. Modular carpet tiles allow you to do just that: they let you renovate in phases, while keeping things clean and causing minimal disruption. 

Here at Tapibel, we work with fitters, facility teams and partners every day to ensure projects of this kind are completed smoothly and efficiently. Below, we’ll let you in on what these renovations look like ‘on the ground’, and why carpet tiles are the ideal solution in these cases. 

Carpet tiles are light, modular and easy to transport. They allow teams of fitters to work quickly and in sections, without employees needing to clear the floor entirely. And that means you get to enjoy: 

• a phased approach tailored to your schedule 

• effortless transport and a quick fit (boxes instead of heavy rolls) 

• little dust and noise, meaning little inconvenience 

• spot replacements without needing to close the space 

The biggest benefit of modular carpet tiles is this: they allow you to work in phases. Our partners can spruce up a corridor, reception area or office without taking the rest of the building out of use. That way, you can carry on with business as usual while spreading your renovation works over separate, carefully scheduled periods. Here’s how we’ve approached other recent projects, for example: 

• corridors early in the morning or after closing time 

• reception areas during quiet times or during a short break 

• open-plan offices in two or three logical sections 

• meeting rooms in between bookings 

We’ve also renovated entire levels of a building in sections on previous projects, so that teams could simply carry on working as normal. 

Accidents happen in busy buildings: stains, corner damage and worn-out areas. With modular tiles, these problems always stay where they start. A technician can simply replace the tiles affected in just a few minutes, while the rest of the space remains in use. The ideal solution for: 

• schools 

• healthcare institutions 

• hotels 

• offices 

• public spaces 

Carrying out renovations while the building remains open requires clear coordination with all parties involved. For that reason, we always plan our work with: 

• facility managers 

• fitters 

• teams of technicians 

• receptionists or front office teams 

By sitting down together, we work out a logical progression: 

1. Corridors and circulation areas: quick interventions, minimal disruption. 
2. Entrance and reception: scheduled at quiet times, so that visitors always receive the welcome they deserve.
3. Open-plan offices: phased in sections, employees can carry on working nearby. 
4. Meeting rooms: between two appointments, without any impact on other teams. 

Tapibel carpet tiles offer sound absorption and underfoot comfort as standard. With our SoundBloc backing, that acoustic performance reaches a whole new level. This makes all the difference if tiles are being fitted while people are working and even more so afterwards. On top of that, the area being renovated stays cleaner: 

• less dust 

• less cutting waste 

• no big piles of materials 

• limited gluing 

The result is less disruption during renovation work, including in busy environments such as healthcare or educational institutions. 

We manufacture our products in Belgium, which allows us to deliver in no time and schedule any fitting work accurately. For phased renovation projects in which every day counts, that reliability is crucial. 

Want to renovate your building without closing for business? With modular carpet tiles, that’s perfectly feasible. 

• phased fitting 

• minimal disruption 

• quick spot replacements 

• little dust and noise 

• flexible planning with partners 

• reliable Belgian manufacturing 

That way, it’s business as usual in your building while we give it a fresh, sustainable upgrade.
