Which Type of Carpeting Is Best For Me?

What is the best type of carpet? Although there are different carpet types available, no type is considered better than the others. Instead, the best carpet depends on your own style and performance needs. If you live with children and pets, the best carpeting is stain-resistant and durable. But, if you're installing carpet in a room with little foot traffic, the best carpeting could be extra-soft and plush. No matter your preferences, our carpet experts will collaborate with you to make the perfect choice.

• Cut-pile carpets are constructed using fibers that are attached to the backing then cut. The fiber that is left on the backing can vary in height and twists.
• Loop pile carpets are fibers that are looped and attached to carpet backing. They are not cut in any way, and the height of the loop can vary from product to product.
• Cut-loop carpet combines both cut and loop carpet styles to create unique patterns and designs. It is best for low-traffic, quiet areas.

One of the most important choices you'll need to make involves carpet fibers. There are different carpet fibers, including wool, nylon, and polyester.

• Nylon is one of the most popular fibers today. It is a synthetic option that is known for its durability, and it can be treated for stain resistance.
• Polyester is durable and does not absorb liquids quickly. It is a budget-friendly option for homes.
• Olefin is hydrophobic, so it does not absorb liquids. However, it is not ideal for areas where there will be a high likelihood of stains.
• Triexta is a unique fiber because it is naturally stain-resistant. It is also incredibly soft, so it’s perfect for living rooms and playrooms.
• Wool is an excellent option if you’re looking for an eco-friendly option. It is soft, and unlike other carpets, it is also fire-resistant.

Can Carpeting Resist Stains?

Messes can be managed with our incredible collection of stain-resistant carpeting. A carpet that’s made to cohabitate with even the most active families, stain-resistant carpeting is a beautiful way to make your house feel like home.

Life moves at a frantic pace these days, and we can find ourselves living amidst multiple generations. This means messes will happen with frequency, but your carpeting needn’t suffer. Stain-resistant carpets boast innovative fibers that are specially coated to keep stains and odors from moving in.

There are hundreds of stain-resistant carpeting styles to choose from: all of them engineered to combat the most challenging stain-offenders. In most cases, all you need is clear water, and a clean towel to dab away spills, leaving no traces behind.

Installing My New Carpeting

Carpet is best installed in areas where there is low moisture, like living rooms, bedrooms, and playrooms. Because of their strength, some durable and stain-resistant carpets do well in hallways, as well as areas where there is high traffic. We offer premium carpet installation services, and you can trust our experts to get the job done right so you get the most out of your flooring purchase.

New carpeting represents a significant investment in your home or business. Your floor’s condition can seriously impact your property value for better or worse? You might be tempted to try and install your own carpeting, but there are significant “what-if’s” to consider. If installed improperly, your carpeting might not look, feel, or last like it’s meant to. Common errors include:

• Gaps
• Visible Seams
• Unsightly Lumps
• Uneven Wear

All can shorten your carpet’s lifespan. Additionally, carpeting that’s not installed according to manufacturers’ specifications might not be eligible for warrantee coverage. For these reasons, springing for a professional installation can save you money and frustrations.
