Why Choose Carpet
Depending on the look you want to achieve, it can be a neutral foundation or a focal point with vibrant colors, bold patterns, and interesting textures. It gives a sense of peace and rest to your favorite areas of a home. Most importantly of all, carpet is comfortable, giving a feeling of home and warmth. Your ultimate choice reflects how you want to personalize your living space. With all of available styles and colors to choose from, the possibilities are endless!
Limitless Style Options
If you’re looking for new flooring, you probably want something that looks great and fits with the aesthetic of your home. The great thing about carpets is that there are almost limitless style options available.
Whether you want something toned down and conservative or colorful and outrageous, you’re sure to find something to suit your needs. If you’re unsure about the design you want, you could always ask the us for recommendations.
You can also check out examples online for how people effectively use it as part of their interior design.
Not only does it have a lot of different looks along with a variety of fibers and pile heights to choose from, such as cut pile or loop pile, it’s easy to find the perfect new floor. Different kinds of carpets can feel quite different under your feet.
Sound Reduction & Insulation
Another good reason is that they actually improve the quality of sound as well. Generally, rooms with fewer reflection points result in music and movies sounding much better. That’s why you see foam on the walls in professional recording studios.
If you are trying to keep your house warm, carpet installation could benefit you. The great thing about carpet flooring installation is that it acts as a kind of insulation for your home.
Installed in multiple rooms in your house after having hard flooring, you’ll probably notice a massive difference in terms of insulation. Check your energy bills and you’ll surely see the difference.
Choosing The Right Padding
Padding is less about matching your style, and more about meeting your daily needs. It’s the technical side of shopping for carpet. It’s also completely necessary, so there’s no way around it!
When you buy from a big box store, you’ll find those folks tend to just throw in a random pad and tell you it’s good, but we think padding is more complicated than that.
It’s important to get the right pad for your home. After all, padding is responsible for keeping your new floor durable and comfortable for years to come. With different key traits like thickness, weight, and type, there are a lot of options to pick from.
Not sure which padding is for you? This guide will help you choose.
- Density (Weight):Â Measured in pounds (e.g., 6lb, 8lb, 10lb). Higher density means more support and longer life.
- 6lb:Â Minimum for basic residential, good for bedrooms.
- 8lb:Â Recommended for most homes, great for living rooms, hallways (high traffic).
- 10lb+:Â Very dense, often for commercial use or very heavy residential traffic.
- Thickness (Inches):Â How thick the pad feels.
- 3/8″: Best for low-pile, Berber, or commercial grades to prevent stretching and buckling.
- 7/16″ or 1/2″: Standard for most residential cut pile for comfort and support.
- Carpet Type:
- Berber/Low-Pile:Â Needs firm, thin (3/8″) padding to prevent fiber damage.
- Cut Pile (Standard):Â Works well with 7/16″ or 1/2″ padding.
- Area Usage:
- High Traffic (Stairs, Hallways):Â Thicker and denser (10lb).
- Low Traffic (Bedrooms):Â Can use slightly lighter (8lb).
