Choosing the right carpet with its myriad of styles, textures and types of construction is a decision almost every homeowner will make.
Carpet will maintain its beauty and durability for many years when it is properly chosen, installed and cleaned.
That decision will affect a range of ages from first-time homeowners, to retirees, to families with kids and pets. Carpet actually improves indoor air quality.
The choices of carpet vary in style, fiber composition and color to meet the discerning tastes of the consumer. The industry’s offerings go beyond the conventional loop pile, a carpet style consisting of yarn in uncut loops.
Multilevel loop and cut-loop patterns created by emerging industrial technology allow diamond, bow, pin dot or fleur-de-lis designs that “pop out” in sculptured effects.
Furniture and window treatments can be chosen with the texture, colors and pattern of the carpet complementing or contrasting. A solid color, textured carpet provides interest and pizzazz, without going to a multicolor, overall pattern. Textured styles also fit well with today’s active and casual lifestyles.
Carpet provides actual thermal resistance. In colder climates or seasons, it retains warm air longer, an energy conservation benefit. Carpet also provides a comfortable place to sit, play or work and gives a room an overall warmer feeling.
You can choose from many thousands of carpet styles and colors. That means your ultimate choice will reflect how you want to personalize your living space. Carpet can be a neutral foundation, or it can be a focal point with vibrant colors and stronger bolder patterns and textures.
Carpet is ideal for cushioning our footsteps, reducing slips and falls and minimizing injuries when falls do occur. Carpet provides safety protection for the whole family, but especially for toddlers and older individuals.
Big screen TVs, speaker phones, computers and modern sound systems make our homes noisy places.
Carpet helps absorb these sounds. Adding a cushion pad beneath your carpet reduces noise even further. Carpet also works as a sound barrier between floors by helping to block sound transmission to rooms below. And carpet on stairs helps mask the sound of constant foot traffic.
Carpet will maintain its life and beauty for many years when properly cleaned and maintained. Learn to keep your carpet looking great over time by applying preventive maintenance, vacuuming, having it professionally cleaned and vigilantly removing spots and stains.
The decision-making process for carpet and its consideration of styles, textures and types of construction will pay off for a lifetime of enjoyment for the homeowner and family.
