## Description

Howden 01243 is a medium grey carpet tile that brings practical durability to busy commercial and office environments. The loop pile construction sits at 5.5mm thick and weighs 470g per square metre, so it stands up to foot traffic without crushing or showing seams. Its neutral shade works across open-plan layouts, meeting rooms and corridors where you need consistency and easy maintenance.

These [Gradus Latour 2 Carpet Tiles](https://flooringking.co.uk/category/latour-2) are part of the proven commercial range, chosen for offices where durability and modest cost matter. The plain weave keeps the look understated and professional.

### Where it works

Howden 01243 suits offices, commercial reception areas, call centres and open-plan workspaces. The bitumen backing gives solid grip on the substrate. If you're fitting [Commercial Carpet Tiles](https://flooringking.co.uk/category/commercial-carpet-tiles) over underfloor heating, these are compatible and will perform well.

### Installation

These tiles are glue-down, so you'll need flooring adhesive and a substrate that's clean, dry and stable. The bitumen backing bonds securely and won't lift in heavy-use areas. Underfloor heating is supported, making them a good choice for retrofits or new builds with radiative warmth.

### Looking after it

Vacuum regularly and spot-clean spills with neutral detergent. The loop pile resists staining better than cut pile. A 10-year commercial warranty covers wear and defects under normal office use, giving you real peace of mind across the lifespan of the fit.
