What are the Different Types of Carpet?

When it comes to modern carpet, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover just how many exciting options there truly are!

Carpet fibers come from various synthetic and natural sources, so it’s always recommended that you gain a working knowledge of how carpet pile works before making a final decision. Your carpet pile- the industry term for your fibers- can be used in many different carpet compositions. Level loop, cut loop, and frieze are a few examples.

Some of the most popular types of carpet pile are as follows:

• Nylon Carpet is a synthetic product that’s EXTREMELY popular for its soft touch, its vivid colors, and its sheer resilience. While most nylon carpets need to be treated to resist stains, once treated they’re exceptional at managing spills and accidents.

• Polyester Carpet is another type of synthetic flooring that has a look and feel that’s much like nylon. Polyester carpet is a lot more affordable, but the latest versions of this flooring are backed by better technologies that make for a durable option.
• Olefin Carpet has synthetic fibers that are usually woven into loop style carpets like Berber. It keeps colors bright and vibrant.
• Triexta Carpet is a newer type of flooring that’s highly recommended for hectic offices, public spaces, and homes.  Triexta is very durable and stain resistant.
• Wool Carpet is sourced from natural sheep fibers that are prized for their lovely colors, reliable insulation abilities, and hypoallergenic properties. Wool carpet is made to last for a long time but needs to be handled with care to avoid sun-fading. 

Where Can Carpet Be Installed?

We don’t advise using carpet for your kitchen or bathroom, but soft-surface flooring can indeed be used nearly anywhere else under your roof.

Choose your carpet wisely, thinking long and carefully about where you plan to install it. For instance, spaces like your stairs and hallways call for and dense, sturdy synthetic carpet, whereas waterproof and stain-resistant soft surfaces are best for rooms used by pets or toddlers. These are just a few examples.

Other prime spots for carpet installation include:

• Nurseries
• Bedrooms
• Meeting Rooms
• Family Rooms
• Living Rooms
• Offices

If you’re unsure where to start, we can help you narrow down your carpet selections based on your family size and lifestyle.

So, Can I Install My Own Carpet?

Perhaps you can, but we really don’t recommend you try!

Even for the most ambitions among us, carpet installation is a long and tricky job: one that takes hours or even days, requires careful measuring and stretching, and a steady hand. Mistakes can happen all too quickly, and before you know it, you could end up at risk of negating any warranty coverage!

With all this in mind, it’s always wise to plan your installation carefully. Be sure to ask us about our professional carpet installation options and you’ll rest easy knowing your lovely new floor is off to a safe start.
