Carpet is so soft that your feet will thank you

Understanding carpet fibers and what they mean

Not all carpet is created equal. One of the first decisions to make is about fiber type. This affects everything from how it feels to how long it lasts.

• Nylon: Durable and resistant to wear, nylon carpet is great for busy households or high-traffic areas. It stands up well over time.
• Polyester: Known for vibrant colors and softness. It is more budget-friendly but may not be as durable as nylon.
• Triexta: A newer fiber that resists stains without added chemicals. It’s soft like polyester but with better resilience.
• Olefin (polypropylene): Moisture-resistant and great for basements or low-traffic areas. Not ideal for heavy use.
• Wool: A natural fiber that’s luxurious, eco-friendly, and long-lasting. Wool carpet is more of an investment, but it is worth it for some buyers.

Choosing the right fiber is about balancing your lifestyle, budget, and design preferences. We’re happy to walk you through the pros and cons in person.

Loop, cut, and everything in between: carpet pile types

Once you’ve picked a fiber, the next step is choosing a carpet pile. This refers to the way the fibers are cut or looped. Each style has a different look and feel:

• Cut pile: These carpets have loops that are cut at the top, creating soft, upright fibers. You’ll find options like plush, Saxony, and textured cut pile. Plush is smooth and formal. Saxony has a velvety look with a slightly twisted fiber. Textured cut pile hides footprints and vacuum marks better, making it a good everyday choice.
• Loop pile: In this type, the fibers stay in looped form. It’s known for its durability. Berber carpet is a common loop pile style and works well in busy areas like basements or hallways.
• Cut and loop pile: This one combines the best of both. You’ll see patterns or designs in the carpet where some loops remain, and others are cut. These carpets give your room some personality while also holding up under traffic.

Each pile type has its own advantages. It’s all about where the carpet will go and what kind of wear it will need to handle.
