Here’s a quick primer on modern carpet in it fine forms.

Carpet Types

With so many carpet options for you to contemplate, choosing just one can initially seem overwhelming. We recommend you take close inventory of your family size, lifestyle, and functional needs to help narrow down your options. Do you have pets or plan to adopt one soon? Are there small children in the home? Is your room prone to heavy footsteps and frequent activity, or is it a quieter setting? All of these are vital questions to consider.

The fibers that hold your carpet together, often referred to as pile, will play a role in the way your rug looks, functions, and feels over time. The five major families of carpet pile are level loop, patterned, textured, frieze, and plush and each one has its own distinctions – and benefits.

Nylon is a synthetic fiber that’s currently one of the most popular carpet families around. Known for its incredible softness, nylon pile is resilient, durable, and colorful.

Polyester is another famous synthetic pile that looks and feels quite like nylon carpet. Polyester carpets are less expensive than nylon. Once considered an affordable nylon alternative, modern manufacturing innovations have allowed today’s durable polyester products to come into their own.

Olefin is a type of synthetic fiber that’s renowned for its astonishing colors. Olefin pile is usually woven into Berber-style carpets. These rugs are incredibly durable, making them popular for large families.

Triexta is a heavy-duty synthetic pile that’s prized for its impressive stain-resistance capabilities. Triexta rugs are a popular option for those with pets or little kids.

Wool is a popular natural fiber that’s been used for years. Technology continues to improve on this beloved classic, and modern wool carpets are soft, durable, colorful, and sustainable. Wool carpeting naturally resists moisture, mildew, and odors.

The construction of your carpet likewise plays a significant role in how your new rug will wear over time.

Cut-pile carpet features pile that’s tightly attached to its base, with its loops trimmed into varying lengths. The result is a very thick, textured rug that conceals footprints and dents.

Loop-pile carpet leaves the looped fibers intact, resulting in carpeting that’s smoother at the surface.

Cut-loop carpet is a combination of both cut-pile and loop pile for incredible depth and texture.

A proven performer, stain-resistant carpet uses the latest innovations to provide products that not only look good but retain their beauty. There are hundreds of assorted styles, colors, and patterns, making stain-resistant carpet an option for everyone.

Stain-resistant carpets boast individually coated fibers that keep spills from making permanent stains. To clean, simply dab away accidents using clear water and a towel: we promise no stains will linger. The beauty of stain-resistant carpet is the fact that it’s designed to go anywhere under your roof.

Carpet Installation

Carpet shouldn’t be used in kitchens and bathrooms, but with thousands of offerings to consider, it’s easy to find appropriate products for other interior settings. Commercial-grade carpet, usually made from resilient synthetic pile, works great in an entryway, a family room, a waiting room, or on the stairs. Plush varieties are a luxurious and decadent addition to a formal living room, or in a guest bedroom, adding comfort and a posh appearance.
