Abstract
A textile pile carpet tile having a pile body predominantly of loop pile extending from one end to the opposing end of the tile and a pair of opposing side marginal areas of predominantly cut pile extending along opposite sides of the pile body from said one end to the opposing end of the tile, and of an appearance contrasting with that of the pile body. Carpet tiles thusly constructed may be abuttingly positioned for forming patterned carpet surfaces with the carpet tiles arranged in lengthwise and widthwise rows with the pair of side marginal areas of alternate tiles in each row extending in the lengthwise direction, and with the pair of side marginal areas of intervening tiles extending in the widthwise direction so that the thus arranged carpet tiles form the desired pattern effect and enable the side marginal areas of the tiles formed of predominantly cut pile to shield from prominence any non-linearity in the ends of the carpet tiles defined predominantly of loop pile which would otherwise present an unsightly appearance.
