Softness and comfort only carpet can bring

Softness, comfort, and appearance are three of the main appeals of carpet –and of course, you also want it to be durable.

There’s a reason why it remains one of the most popular floor coverings. It's elegant and comes with many benefits, from saving on energy costs to reducing noise.

First, know what the term “rug pile” means

This refers to how the yarns are attached to the backing, such as looped or cut piles.

Fiber: the very foundation of a rug

Thanks to technological advances, most fibers are thin and soft–no matter how durable and robust.

The five most common are wool, a carpet installation that's all-natural, fluffy, luxurious, and durable. 

Synthetic fibers include nylon, known for ultra-strength and resiliency. In addition, polyester has superior stain resistance and is best for moderately busy rooms.

Triexta is known for strength and permanent stain resistance built into the fiber. Olefin is budget-friendly and mainly associated with looped constructions such as Berber and level loops.

All about style

All styles have various levels of softness. Therefore, thinking of your needs and overall home decor is essential.  

Also, at this point, come into our showroom. You'll see a wide assortment of styles and fibers at our carpet store in St. Croix Falls, WI.

The three main carpet styles

All carpeting starts as an uncut looped construction. They either remain that way or are cut into piles of various lengths with features such as twists or plush textures.

They all have varying degrees of strength, softness, and stain resistance.
