Carpet Flooring FAQs

When it comes to carpet, the options are virtually endless. But carpet can be split into three basic categories based on the characteristics of the carpet’s surface. This visible, wearable surface, consisting of yarn tufts, is called a “pile.” Carpets are categorized as “cut pile,” “loop pile,” or “cut and loop.” To learn more about each pile type and what might work best for you, contact your nearest Floor Store Location.

This depends on several factors, including your style, needs, and budget. Today, most carpets on the market are made of synthetic fibers, including nylon, polypropylene, or polyester. Natural fiber carpets are usually made of wool, but some carpets blend wool with silk, cotton, or bamboo. Wool is generally considered one of the best and most attractive carpeting materials available and, as such, costs significantly more than many synthetic fiber options. However, there are soft, durable carpeting options made of synthetic fibers. A Floor Store associate can answer more questions about which options best suit your needs.

Carpet usually comes packaged in a roll that’s not wide enough for most large rooms. Unfortunately, this means that seams are probably inevitable. However, a carpet installation professional will use a seaming diagram as a blueprint to ensure that seams are minimized and well hidden within a room. With certain carpet styles, seams show more than with others, so this might be a consideration. If you have particular concerns about seams within your room, consult a Floor Store associate to discuss your carpeting options.

Yes, you do! Padding can make an enormous difference in how your carpet feels after installation. It absorbs much of the impact when walking on the floor, contributing to a softer feel and helping to preserve and maintain your carpet over time. Different carpet pads may be recommended for different types of carpet. We recommend that you consider purchasing a high-quality carpet pad to ensure a long life for your carpet.
