Beautiful, Stylish & Durable Carpet

Carpet is soft and welcoming, inviting you in to relax and get cozy.  Hard-surface flooring cannot compete with its comfort, making it one of the most popular flooring solutions in bedrooms, living rooms, basements, and other areas.

Whether you are looking for durability, stain resistance, sustainability, or a certain style, carpet offers different fibers and carpet constructions to provide the desired comfort level and needed performance in your home. 

What are the benefits of carpet?

Softness

Color & Pattern

• No other flooring has the vast color palette and array of patterned options like carpet. 

Design Versatility

• With a virtually unmatched selection of colors, patterns, and style designs to choose from, carpet allows homeowners to include exceptional softness in any room, from a relaxed vibe to an upscale feel.

Sound Absorption

• When you combine soft carpet with your quality carpet pad choice, you create better sound insulation and noise reduction in your home. 

Customization

• Simply pick your favorite style of soft carpet and you can make sure your custom area rug or stair runner is the perfect size for any room, space, or furniture layout.

Carpet Types

You have a variety of styles to consider when you're ready to buy carpet. Do you want a velvety plush carpet that your feet sink into or a firm, industrious loop option that holds up to a busy home or office? Patterned and textured carpets do double duty, adding dimension to your design while also hiding all evidence of foot traffic. Cut and twisted frieze can turn a casual living room or bedroom into a cozy, contemporary escape.

• Loop - Loop carpet fibers are low pile and have no exposed yarn tips, leading to a firmer feel underfoot. Berber carpet is a common loop style.
• Cut - This pile features cut loops that create a soft, level surface. Short, densely-packed cut fibers are called plush, while longer cut twisted fibers are known as frieze. It's a modern take on shag carpeting, which features a long cut pile.
• Cut and loop - This pile type combines some loop fibers with some cut fibers to create a textured pattern. This hides dirt and wear better than some other styles, so you can spend less time cleaning your floors and more time enjoying game night with your family! Cut and loop works well in high-traffic areas, especially when used with a durable fiber. Pile height can be level or uneven, depending on the pattern.

Types of Carpet Fibers

• Nylon is a popular carpet fiber, offering superior durability and softness compared to other synthetic materials. It's safe from mildew and mold, holds color beautifully, and resists stains when treated. Nylon's also known for its impressive bounce back from footprints and other tracks made by your kiddos and pets.
• Polyester is another favorite, especially among allergy sufferers who appreciate its hypoallergenic quality. This synthetic fiber repels moisture and resists stains and odors. It has an eco-friendly version called PET polyester, which is made from recycled plastic bottles and boasts the same beneficial characteristics.
• Olefin is a synthetic carpet material that's water resistant, making it easier for you to clean. This also explains why it's often used as carpet for indoor/outdoor spaces and recreation areas.
• Wool carpet features the soft natural fibers sheared from sheep, making it the premier renewable fiber along with being biodegradable. Wool fibers are naturally water resistant and stabilize humidity by absorbing or releasing moisture during periods of high/low humidity.

What are the signs that my carpet needs to be replaced?

If you're wondering when it's time to replace your carpet, there are several signs to look out for. Excessive wear and tear, such as bald spots, fraying edges, or exposed backing, indicate that your carpet has reached the end of its lifespan. Stubborn stains and persistent odors that resist professional cleaning can also be an indication that replacement is necessary. Additionally, mold and mildew growth, as well as the presence of allergens that trigger allergies and respiratory issues, should prompt consideration for a new carpet. Lastly, if your carpet's appearance is outdated or doesn't align with your current interior design, upgrading to a fresh, stylish carpet can enhance the overall aesthetic of your home.
