Carpet Flooring Charlotte NC

Textures, colors, cushion, and so much more. There are endless options when determining what carpet will fit your space the best. Our knowledgeable flooring contractors are able to help you determine which carpet will provide you with the performance and quality that you desire. Unlike some flooring companies, we let you know the truth about carpet. Just because a carpet sample is thick and luxurious, doesn't always mean it’s the best fit for you. Depending on the placement, foot traffic, and condition in your home will determine which texture, color, and pattern is best for you. For example, thick and lucious carpet may be perfect in the bedroom. Not a lot of foot traffic or moisture in the area, so it will keep it’s plush texture longer. A tightly twisted carpet texture is better in a pace with more traffic, such as living rooms & dining rooms. This type of carpet will resist soiling, matting, and crushing more so than a plush carpet. Like we said, contact us today and one of our expert flooring contractors can help you determine what is best for your space.

The Composition of Carpet

The different textures and plushness of carpet not only comes from how it’s woven, but also what the carpet is actually made of. Understanding the different fibers used for carpet will help you decide which carpet installation best suits your home. The most common carpet fibers are nylon, wool, polyester, & triexta. Nylon is probably the most popular of the four due to the known high performance and durability attributes. Nylon offers a variety of styles & colors, & is usually less likely to mat down compared to other fibers making it the most expensive of the four. Polyester is popular for its wide color variations & the fact it’s stain resistant. Wool carpeting is an eco-friendly option since it’s all natural and non-synthetic, but this also requires special cleaning protocols. Triexta is the newest of the four carpet fibers. Originally classified as a polyester, it’s not recognized as triexta since it’s more durable and resilient than polyester.

Styles of Carpet

The style of carpet you choose will help determine the durability, comfort, and care needs of your new flooring. Each style of carpet is constructed by using different techniques to attach the carpet to the backing that holds it all together. You can choose between loops, patterns, plush, textured, & more. We have listed below popular examples of carpet construction, but be sure to call our flooring contractors to find exactly what you need.

  • Loop Carpet: Looped carpet is just that. The yarn is looped into the backing and left uncut. Depending on how lush you want, the pile can be low and tightly constructed, or high and luxurious. This type of carpet is ideal for high traffic areas because it’s shading helps hide foot traffic patterns, soil, & makes the color appear more vibrant.
  • Frieze: Frieze carpet is the modern take on shag carpet, and often called ‘twists’. It is constructed by highly twisted long fibers of yarn, and then threaded through a stiff backing. All the fibers are then cut to the same length, giving it a contemporary look and feel.
