Choosing flooring for your home or office isn’t something you do every day. In fact, it can be difficult to recall all your options with the infrequency of the task. This is especially true when determining the best type of carpet flooring for your application. Most people don’t realize just how many types of carpet there are, so they make uninformed decisions. When you decide to make a change, it’s important to have all the details in hand, as well as the expert service of a company like Samson Floor Design to help you make the most educated decisions possible.
The first element to choosing the right types of carpet flooring is to know what the options are. You have a number of materials and styles to consider, including:
Made with very short fibers, the velvety texture works very well in homes, especially in living room and bedroom areas where you are more often to go barefoot.
The fibers are ‘looped’ and connected to the backing twice, making it a more durable option for high-traffic areas of the home or office, such as hallways and corridors.
A very low-pile option, the fibers are woven tight and extremely short, giving it a much cleaner and resilient effect. It’s great in many applications, including over the entire house and office, especially stairs. However, pet owners need to watch for snags from claws.
While these materials may not be considered the most luxurious types of carpet flooring, they are some of the most stain-resistant, making them ideal for family homes and homes with pets.
If you’re looking for something high-end that will resist wear and tear for decades, wool is the next-best thing to wood flooring. It also comes in a great variety of styles and colors, making it extremely versatile.
Often used for Berber carpeting, olefin is resistant to wear and tear as well as staining. While pricier than some materials, it’s going to last longer than a great number of options.
When it comes to the types of carpet flooring available, you’ll need to determine what your budget is and how long you want your flooring to last. Samson Floor Design has all the help you’ll need, with experts to help you manage your budget and expectations so you make the right decision to meet your needs and please the designer in you.
