If you need a floor that’s quick to install and instantly transform, carpet is a favorite flooring for residential and commercial spaces. At Southwest Carpet One Floor & Home in Tyler, TX, we have the best carpet products, including custom area rugs, and we’re always eager to share our extensive knowledge to help you meet your perfect match. If you think carpet might be an ideal fit for your upcoming renovation project, here are things to consider before you shop.
Carpet has something for everyone, whether your main goal is to change your room’s appearance completely or your main priority is stain management. Carpet fibers, also referred to as “pile,” determine your rug’s performance rating and overall density, as well as its appearance and texture. Carpet piles can be either natural or synthetic. Polyester and nylon piles are preferred for soft and durable carpets, while wool fibers work well for those with allergies, offering reliable insulation.
Here are the basics on the different carpet types:
Stain-resistant carpet manages challenging spills like chocolate, red wine, and finger paints. Keeping odors and spots at bay, these incredible carpets are as sturdy as they are stylish. Each of your carpet’s strands is coated with a unique substance that blocks stains in their tracks. Remove “accidents” using a clean towel and a little water: that’s all that’s necessary, we promise. Stain-resistant carpeting can go anywhere other carpets can go and beyond. Residential and commercial selections are in a full spectrum of colors, patterns, and weaves. Like all carpets, stain-resistant products aren’t appropriate for bathrooms or kitchens. Let our specialists guide you towards the best stain-resistant options for yourself and your family.
Stair runners are an elegant and practical addition to any home, offering style and safety to staircases. These long, narrow carpets are designed to cover the center of stairs, leaving the edges exposed for a decorative touch. While many homeowners opt for pre-made runners, custom options can provide a perfect fit and unique look. At Southwest Floor Carpet One Floor & Home, we create custom stair runners from carpet remnants. Although we do not sell area rugs in-store, we offer a valuable service by binding carpet remnants to create durable and attractive stair runners. This process allows customers to choose from various textures, colors, and patterns to complement their home's decor while providing a cost-effective solution for enhancing their stairs.
Family rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms are communal areas where carpet can be installed, but you won’t want to rule out dining rooms, hallways, stairs, and entryways. Is carpet a good fit for these spaces in an active home? The answer is “absolutely!” However, paying close attention to your carpet’s construction is essential, as it may vary from room to room.
No matter which carpet type you opt for, it’s important to consider finding the perfect carpet pad. Carpet padding helps to reduce noise, increase cushion underneath, and control spills and stains. Additionally, the right carpet padding helps create a healthier home with better air quality.
