Types of Carpet

 

Carpet has come a long way, and it now comes in styles that are stained and even waterproof. Go with a stain-resistant carpet like Lees®, which is built with stain-fighting technology and is perfect for homes with pets. Our Tigressá H2O™ carpets are totally waterproof, meaning you can confidently install them in your finished basement and not have to worry too much about your subfloor. Consider the color you want your carpet to be, something that complements your home décor, brightens up a room, or even hides stains and pet fur. There are also several different carpet designs, including level loop, patterned, textured, frieze, and plush.

 

Types of Fibers

 

Knowing what fibers a carpet is made of is also important in choosing the best floor for your home. There are synthetic fibers like nylon, triexta, and polyester that are super soft and ultra-strong. These vary in quality based on how nice the fiber is. For instance, our Tigressá carpet collections are made with ultra-fine nylon fibers that not only resist wear and tear, but also feel silky to the touch. Then there are natural fibers like wool, which is eco-friendly and crush-resistant.

 

• Nylon carpet pile is prized for its soft texture and ongoing resilience. Its stain-resistance abilities are legendary, but nylon carpeting tends to be on the pricier side. Your initial investment pays off, however, since nylon tends to outlast other types of synthetics.
• Polyester carpet pile looks and feels a lot like nylon, but is a lot more budget-friendly. Once considered inferior in terms of longevity and stain resistance, today’s polyester is generally a lot sturdier.
• Triexta carpet pile has a rough texture, with its bristly fibers forming understated patterns. Made to disguise footprints and dust, while keeping stains out, triexta carpet is a great commercial option.
• Olefin/polypropylene carpet pile is seriously soft, with a velvet-like texture. Olefin fibers are looped and woven to form elaborate patterns that won’t fade as the years pass. However, such carpets are intended for quieter spaces, rather than heavy-duty use.
• Wool carpet pile is made using natural sheep fibers. Soft, sustainable, and hypoallergenic, wool carpeting is pricey but has many wonderful perks. Its extreme durability and ability to hold tight to its true colors make it a popular option.

 

Pet-Friendly Carpets

 

There are many pet-proof carpets available today. These are made with easy-to-clean fibers that repel moisture and stains. Pet-friendly carpets also don’t retain odors, so your space stays fresher. Plus, they help dull the noise of pet claws roaming, and they offer a soft place for your favorite furry family member to lie down.

 

Where Can Carpet Be Installed?

 

Carpet can be installed in many different places around your home, such as bedrooms, living rooms, children’s playrooms, and even home offices. Durable, stain-resistant carpets are good for high-traffic areas like hallways and staircases. Since carpet absorbs moisture, it is best to avoid installing it in rooms with a lot of humidity and moisture like bathrooms and kitchens.
