Whether you have a quiet household or one that’s constantly chaotic, today there are carpets to meet all types of budgets and needs. Trendy or traditional, today’s carpet flooring comes with some impressive benefits. Are you considering a carpet installation? Here are some things to keep in mind as you explore your different carpet options.
What do you look for in a new carpet? Here’s where it’s important to pay attention, as it’s what’s inside the counts. We’re talking about carpet pile: your rug’s literal fibers. Carpet pile is made from a wide variety of natural and synthetic materials, including wool, nylon, and polyester. Each pile type performs differently in terms of texture, wear, and appearance. Among the different carpeting construction types are level loop, frieze, patterned, textured, and plush.
Nylon is a synthetic pile type that works terrifically in nearly any setting. Sturdy, soft, and always colorful, nylon comes in many different styles. Polyester is another synthetic pile type with an appearance like nylon. Polyester products have significantly improved in recent years, making current selections quite affordable to purchase.
Olefin is a synthetic pile type that’s distinguished by its hefty, Berber-style weaves and bright colors. Made to withstand heavy wear and tear, olefin can often be seen in corporate and commercial environments. Triexta is an incredibly heavy-duty synthetic pile that’s one of the most stain-resistant carpet families. Triexta is quite famous for those with hectic households and is a pet owner’s top pick.
Wool is one of the most popular natural piles. Warm, moisture-resistant, and colorful, wool lasts for generations if properly maintained. Wool also is an attractive choice for allergy sufferers since its naturally resistant to mold and mildew.
While we don’t advise using carpeting in the kitchen or bathroom, we promise you’ll find endless options for pretty much everywhere else. In fact, there are even indoor-outdoor carpets that are a wonderful addition to your three-season porch or sunroom. Our onsite flooring experts can guide you toward the smartest options.
