Carpet: comfort meets performance

Which carpet style is best?

Different carpet styles offer different looks and performance characteristics. Choosing the right construction depends on how the room will be used.

• Frieze (twist): Frieze carpet features tightly twisted fibers that create a casual, textured appearance. It hides footprints and vacuum marks well, making it an excellent choice for busy households, family rooms, hallways, and stairs.
• Loop/Berber: Loop, or Berber, carpet uses uncut loops to create a durable surface that resists wear. Berber carpet is a smart option for high-traffic areas, home offices, basements, and many commercial settings.
• Pattern: Patterned carpet combines cut and loop fibers to create decorative designs that add dimension and character. It also helps disguise everyday traffic while making a design statement.
• Texture: Textured carpet is one of today's most popular styles because it offers a soft feel while minimizing the appearance of footprints and daily wear. It works well in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas.

The best carpet isn't simply the one you like most. It's the one that fits your lifestyle. Before selecting a carpet, consider:

• The amount of daily foot traffic
• Whether you have children or pets
• Your preferred level of softness
• Your decorating style
• Maintenance expectations
• Your budget

High-traffic rooms often benefit from durable constructions with stain-resistant features, while bedrooms typically call for softer, more luxurious options. Our knowledgeable team will walk you through your choices and help you compare products from trusted brands like Shaw Floors, Anderson Tuftex, and many others.

Light-colored carpet can make smaller spaces feel brighter and larger, while darker shades create warmth and richness. Neutral colors remain a favorite because they coordinate easily with changing furniture and décor while helping hide everyday dirt.

We'll help you narrow your options so you can choose a carpet that complements your home or business for years to come.

Today's carpets are designed to be easier to maintain than ever before. Regular care helps preserve their appearance and extends their lifespan.

To keep your carpet looking its best:

• Vacuum frequently to remove dirt and debris
• Clean spills promptly using manufacturer-approved products
• Use entry mats to reduce tracked-in dirt
• Rearrange furniture occasionally to prevent uneven wear
• Schedule professional carpet cleaning every 12 to 18 months, or more often in high-traffic areas

A little routine maintenance goes a long way toward protecting your flooring investment.
