What Types of Carpet Are There?

 

Carpet types are determined by both fiber and style.

Your carpet needs aren’t the same as your neighbor’s. Family size, budget, lifestyle, pet preferences, and other factors will determine which type of carpet is best for your upcoming renovation project.

Whatever your needs, we can gladly accommodate them- we even carry waterproof and stain-resistant carpet options.

Understanding Carpet Pile

Carpet pile- literally, the fibers that comprise your carpet- can be either natural or synthetic.

The most popular types of carpet pile include nylon, polyester, triexta, olefin/polypropylene, and wool. Each class has unique perks and challenges.

  • Nylon is the reigning star of the carpet world. This beloved synthetic is designed to endure since it’s typically pre-treated with a powerful stain resistor.
  • Polyester is made for those who love the look and feel of nylon but need to back their budget. The great news is that modern innovation has given us polyester that not only looks like nylon but performs like it, too.
  • Triexta is another durable synthetic that, unlike its previous cousins, doesn’t need to be pre-treated to fight everyday stains.  
  • Olefin/polypropylene pile is usually woven into patterned carpets and rugs, with an emphasis on fashion before function. Its colors are vivid, and it shines its brightest in low-traffic, formal spaces.
  • Wool is one of the most prevalent carpet options and the most sustainable natural fiber. Sources from natural animal shearing, wool is colorful, cozy warm, and naturally resists mold, dust, and mildew.

Where Can I Install Carpet?

Not long ago, carpet was best reserved for formal spaces and certainly wasn’t recommended for children’s playrooms, family rooms, or office waiting rooms!

Fortunately, the times have changed and today there are carpets for a wider range of settings, including:

  • Offices
  • Hallways
  • Family Rooms
  • Bedrooms
  • Dens
  • Kids’ Rooms
  • Living Rooms
  • Stairs
  • Playrooms
  • Hospitality
  • Dining Rooms
  • Waiting Rooms
  • Retail Settings

Regardless of where one installs carpet, don’t neglect the essentials. Weekly vacuuming and annual steam cleaning will ensure your new floor stands the test of time and doesn’t show its age.

Preparing for Your Carpet Installation

So, you’re dreaming of a colorful, lush carpet? Planning your project carefully will ensure your upcoming installation goes off without a hitch.

Long before your professional installers arrive, it’s up to you to prepare a fresh, clean slate. Remove all traces of old adhesives, flooring, and debris, and make sure that your barren subfloor is completely level.
