Stylish and durable carpet complements your decor
Carpet styles are many, but you may want to consider pattern carpeting if you desire flooring that adds some flair to room decor. You'll get a sophisticated, eye-catching designer look that adds texture and style as well as color. Popular brands feature a uniform color with linear, dotted, or geometric patterns. Design consultants at Johnson’s Carpet & Tiling INC can guide you as you compare styles to find the right one for your home. We can answer any questions you may have as you browse through our showroom in Napoleon, Ohio. We have other flooring, too, like laminate, hardwood, vinyl, and ceramic.
Fibers and twist
Durable fiber is a must if you are installing carpet in a high traffic area of your home. Nylon, the most popular fiber, is ideal for dining and living rooms. It is resilient and able to retain its original appearance years after it is installed. Typically, fibers are treated to help prevent staining. Triexta is a newer fiber that is as strong as nylon. It is inherently stain resistant. Wool is the top of the line fiber. This soft and natural fiber is often installed in a formal living room or master bedroom. Twist, or the number of times a fiber strand is twisted per inch, is another indicator of longevity. Most fibers have 3.5 to 6.0 turns per inch. Carpet labeled ‘6 TPI’ is the least likely to unravel over years of usage.
Pile, cut, and durability
Carpet pile is determined by the density of the fibers as well as the length of the individual fibers. Loop pile is created by bending the fibers and attaching them to the backing while cut pile is created by cutting those loops at the tip. Low-pile carpet is under ¼-inch, and high-pile carpet is ¾-inch or more. Carpet with a dense pile and a short pile height is the most durable. Berber and Saxony are examples. Berber is a popular loop pile that is good at hiding dirt. Saxony is a traditional cut pile carpet. Even length fibers stand straight up. Mohawk’s SmartStrand Forever Clean is an example of an extra tough carpet that is designed for pet owners. This brand includes an All Pet Protection Warranty that covers ‘all pets, all accidents, all the time.’
