ADAAG specifies that carpet must be firmly attached. Does this mean that each individual carpet tile must by glued down?
No. The requirement is to ensure that the carpeted surface provides a firm and stable surface. When carpet tiles are used, they are frequently installed with some tiles glued down and others held in place by friction. As long as the resulting carpeted surface remains firm and stable, that is, the tiles don’t move, the carpet is considered to be firmly attached.
