SPEAK TO A CARPETING PRO
What’s the Best Carpet for Your Home?
That depends. The two main decisions you’ll need to make when you visit our carpeting showroom are fibers and styles. Each carpet style has pluses and minuses and choosing the best carpet style for each room will depend on your personal needs, like durability, stain-resistance, ease to clean, etc. From there, you can narrow your choices by color, pattern, and most important, quality. As the area’s leading carpeting store, we have carpeting experts who can explain the pros and cons of each carpet style and fiber, and help you find the perfect carpet for every room in your home.
FIND YOUR PERFECT CARPET
Carpet Fibers
Nylon
Because of its strength and durability, nylon is the most widely used fiber for carpet. Premium nylon fibers are most specified by architects and designers for demanding commercial and residential application. It has a soft feel, is resilient and resists most artificial dyes and oil-based stains.
Wool
Although wool fiber offers warmth, softness, and durability, it is also more expensive, comes in fewer styles and has a more limited color range than nylon.
Polyester
Most of the polyester yarn is made from P.E.T. P.E.T. is created from recycled plastic bottles. Advanced filament P.E.T. polyester yarn is luxurious, colorful and has inherently superior stain resistant properties, and it's engineered for durability and performance.
Polypropylene
Known for its moisture, stain and fade resistance, polypropylene carpet fiber (also known as olefin) is mainly used in commercial applications, Berber, and indoor-outdoor carpet. It’s a durable and a resilient fiber.
Carpet Styles
Texture
Curled, twisted, or twisted tufts make for a textured surface that helps mask footprints. Especially suitable for less formal decors.
Frieze
A type of textured carpet with highly twisted tufts that curl at the surface of the pile. Especially suitable for higher traffic areas.
Loop
Loop pile with tufts of equal height or multi-level loops. Multi-level loops form beautiful patterns using solid colors. Broad application carpet with durable wear in either construction.
Pattern Cut Pile
Has sophisticated look made by using a Saxony yarn, but generating a pattern look by tufting cut pile and loop pile with a level pile height. Appropriate for formal or informal room schemes.
Cut Pile Berber
Casual cut pile construction using a combination of big tufts and small tufts. This type of carpet usually contains small flecks of dark color on lighter shade background colors. Informal in construction but adds excitement to any room.
Saxony
A dense level-cut pile. Yarn tufts are closely packed, presenting a smooth, luxurious surface. Generally used for formal settings.
Cut-Loop
Yarns are tufted into large islands of high cut tufts and lower loop tufts to form a sculptured pattern. Suits more informal settings.
