Usually, the carpet you choose will be the foundation of your decorating. The right carpet can offer warmth
and energy to your home in it's decorative element, but it also needs to be functional. Darker carpet may
hide dirt but it can show lint and dust and make a room look smaller. Lighter carpet may show dirt but it can
disguise lint and dust and make a room seem larger.
There are a multitude of styles, textures and colors available. Whether you're looking for commercial,
high-traffic, looped construction or a soft, residential frieze, we can show you something that will meet your
needs from any of the following manufacturers and distributors:

Carpet Construction
The following are examples of Cut Pile carpeting. Cut pile has cut loops on the surface leaving individual
yarn tufts. Velvet, Plush, Saxony, Shag and Frieze are all cut pile carpets. The only difference is the yarn
twist. Saxony, Velvet and Plush all tend to give a polished, sophisticated look to your decor. Textures
(Shag and Frieze`) can hide footprints and vacuum marks. This adds a casual comfort and is great
carpeting for a busy household. Cut pile is still the most popular carpet construction.
The following are all examples of looped construction, commonly called Berber. The first image is a cut and
loop combination. This construction provides a variety of surface textures and tends to hide unwanted foot
traffic. The second image is depicting level-loop construction. This is made using uncut loops of all the
same height. Level-loop carpet generally lasts a long time in high-traffic areas. The third image is the
multi-level loop. It usually has two to three different loop heights, creating a patterned or sculptured look.
Multi-level loop carpet tends to hide soil and foot traffic, providing good durability but a more casual
appearance.
Once you have selected the style of carpet that best fits your needs, please understand that proper
installation and adequate maintenance are equally important issues to consider.
Caring for Your New Carpet
It is important to vacuum your carpet AT LEAST once a week. Carpet does not wear from vacuuming. In
fact, the reverse is true. NOT vacuuming allows dirt and grit to get down inside the fibers of your carpet and
rub, causing wear on your carpet. A vacuum with a powerhead (beater brush and bar - such as an upright)
is best as it vibrates the dirt particles for easy extraction and the brush raises the nap on the carpet. Spills
and spots are easiest to remove when they are fresh. Most manufacturers now recommend having your
carpets cleaned every 12 - 18 months to maintain your warranty. Don't forget, we can do that, too! Just
remember, spot cleaning and shampooing can remove the protective coating that manufacturers apply to
their carpets. We suggest you apply a fiber protectant spray after cleaning.
