Carpet

Why choose Carpet….

• It offers a variety of colors, patterns, and styles to match any décor
• Carpet is one of the most economical flooring products to have installed
• Carpet’s cushioned surface absorbs sound and is less noisy to walk on than a hard surface
• Carpet provides additional insulation underfoot during cold seasons
• It is a non-slip surface that is safe underfoot and provides a cushion that prevents delicate items from breaking if dropped
• Most synthetic carpets are treated with static, stain and soil resistant treatments, which makes them easier to clean and maintain

Picking the right fiber

Carpets are available in different fibers, in order to figure out which is best for your floor; consider the type of living that is done in that room. These are the most common fibers:

Wool

A “green” choice favored for its natural beauty, it has a natural soil resistance quality but is not stain resistant. It is a well constructed and looks great for a long time.

Nylon

This choice is the most durable and stain resistant available. If you live in an active home with children and pets, this is the fiber for you. It is a fiber that is ideal for heavy traffic areas and stairs.

100% Smartstrand BCF Triexta

Smartstrand by Mohawk is the next-generation carpet fiber with an unbeatable combination of superior stain resistance, plush softness and better durablility.

Polyester

A common choice for its luxurious look and feel is a great value for homes with an average amount of traffic. Although, this fiber is not as durable, it is non-allergenic and resists moisture at a lower cost than wool or nylon.

Olefin

This fiber offers good stain and moisture resistance but does not wear as well, due to its poor resiliency, which can lead to crushing. It makes up about 30% of the fiber used in U.S. carpet manufacturing today and is a great choice for outdoor and basement flooring.
