Scrim-reinforced cushion mat for carpet tiles

A method of manufacturing a carpet tile comprising:

• providing a cushion mat comprising:
• a polymeric material component comprising polymer fibers that are randomly oriented and that are entangled together;
• and
• a scrim reinforcement that is disposed within the polymeric material component to mechanically reinforce and stabilize the polymeric material component, the scrim reinforcement being disposed within the polymeric material component so that the scrim reinforcement is entirely covered and concealed by the entangled polymer fibers to prevent exposure of the scrim reinforcement to a user;
• and
• coupling the cushion mat to a textile top member of the carpet tile via an adhesive material, the textile top member comprising:
• carpet yarns;
• and
• a backing coupled with the carpet yarns;
• wherein the adhesive material penetrates into the entangled polymer fibers of the polymeric material component to couple the cushion mat to the textile top member of the carpet tile.
