Carpet offers a variety of colors, patterns, and styles to satisfy any personal style and match any decor.<\/p>\n<p>Carpet&#8217;s cushioned surface absorbs sound and is less noisy to walk on than hard surface flooring. Affordability, carpet is one of the most economical flooring products to have installed.<\/p>\n<p>The insulating properties of carpet provide additional warmth underfoot during cold seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Carpet is a non-slip surface that is safe underfoot and provides a cushion to prevent breakage when delicate items are accidentally dropped. Most synthetic carpets are treated with static, stain and soil resistant treatments, making them easy to clean and maintain.<\/p>\n<h3>Carpeting Selection begins with the Right Fiber<\/h3>\n<p>\\To pick the right fiber, consider how you live in each room. There are basically four types of fiber:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NYLON is the most durable and stain resistant carpet fiber available. It is the fiber of choice for homes with pets and children and for those who entertain a lot. Perfect for heavy traffic in hallways and stairs.<\/li>\n<li>POLYESTER is known for its luxurious look and feel as well as its wonderful selection of colors and styles. It&#8217;s a good value for homes with a normal amount of traffic, although less durable and stain resistant than nylon.<\/li>\n<li>OLEFIN offers good stain and moisture resistance, but scores below nylon and polyester for wearability. It can be a good choice in loop pile construction although its colors and styles are limited.<\/li>\n<li>WOOL is favored for its natural beauty. It has natural soil resistance quality but is not inherently stain resistant. Wool looks good for a long time and is well constructed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Carpeting Styles determine the Appearance<\/h3>\n<p>Over 90% of residential carpet is manufactured as tufted carpet. A tufting machine works like an over-sized sewing machine with hundreds of needles that insert loops of fiber (tufts or stitches) into the carpet&#8217;s backing to form the face pile of the carpet.<\/p>\n<p>How long your carpet will last depends on how well it is made. Quality construction will affect the durability, appearance and price of the carpet and is most influenced by the twist of the fibers and the density of the tufts.<\/p>\n<p>TWIST refers to how tightly the fiber (carpet yarn) has been twisted. This is especially important in cut pile carpet because the tips are exposed and can become untwisted, giving the carpet a matted and worn appearance. The tighter the yarn is twisted, the better the carpet will stand up to crushing and matting.<\/p>\n<p>FRIEZE carpet has the highest twist level at about 7-9 twists per inch (TPI), whereas most cut pile carpet styles have between 3-6 twists per inch.<\/p>\n<p>DENSITY refers to both the amount, and how tightly packed together the fibers are within the carpet. The closer together the fibers are placed, the denser the carpet will be, and the better it will wear and perform.<\/p>\n<p>WAYS TO CHECK CARPETING DENSITY<br \/>\nTry to reach the carpet backing by pressing your fingers on the carpet fibers. The more difficult it is to reach the backing, the denser the carpet.<br \/>\nOr with outward facing tufts, bend the carpet into a U-shape and look at how much of the carpet backing is visible. The less backing that shows, the denser the carpeting.<\/p>\n<p>CHOOSE THE LEVEL OF STAIN RESISTANCE<br \/>\nAgain, consider how you live in each room. If you have kids, pets, and high traffic areas or entertain a lot, you will want to choose a carpet with stain resistance. But that won&#8217;t limit your choice of carpet styles and colors.<\/p>\n<p>SELECT THE COLOR<br \/>\nThink of your floor as the fifth wall that connects all other design elements in the room. Consider the walls, window treatments and other furnishings when choosing a color scheme. Bring fabric and color samples when you visit our store, where our flooring experts will assist you.<\/p>\n<p>All of these elements make a difference in how your floor will look. Don&#8217;t forget to check out Installation to learn all about the little details that make a big difference when transitioning from old floors to new.<\/p>\n<p>CARPET STYLES<\/p>\n<p>Cut pile consists of yarns that are cut at the ends. The soft feel of cut pile carpet makes it a perfect choice for the most comfortable areas of your home &#8211; bedrooms, living rooms and family rooms.<\/p>\n<p>There are five basic styles of cut pile carpeting: Velvet, Saxony, Frieze, Shag, and Cable, each provides a different look and texture. The primary difference among these styles is the amount of twist in the yarns that will ultimately influence the carpet&#8217;s durability.<\/p>\n<p>LOOP PILE has yarns that are looped and uncut on the carpet surface. The pile height can vary from low, tightly constructed to a more luxurious high-level pile. Loop pile carpet has excellent durability, strength and soil hiding capabilities. This style is ideal for heavy traffic areas. Berber is a popular style of loop pile carpet that can be constructed as a level-loop or multi-loop carpet.<\/p>\n<p>CUT AND LOOP PILE<br \/>\nAs the name suggests, this carpeting has some cut piles and some that are not in order to create a different surface look and texture. Cut and loop carpets offer good performance but are slightly less durable than loop carpets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
