We have that sort of carpet here at work. Another advantage is that you can
keep some spare squares around in case something ruins a square or two.
Since it looks like your floor is concrete, I'd make sure you get squares with
quite a bit of padding. Standing for long periods of time won't be comfortable
if you don't.
