Indianapolis’ wood flooring experts now offer’s this flooring as a cost effective alternative to hardwood floors.
When buying a carpet, there are several factors to take into consideration. These can be simple things like pet hair, dust and pollen getting stuck in the fibers and problems with cleaning spills and stains. One thing to think about is the carpet fiber itself, which will have a great impact on every aspect of the carpet, including its look, maintenance and longevity, not to mention its price. There is no other flooring option that offers more comfort and quietness than carpet. Now there are not only many colors and patterns of carpets to choose from, there are also a variety of types to suit any household and decor. Carpet is a good choice because it is warm and soft, particularly on children when crawling or playing on the floor. Carpet is much quieter than other flooring options, particularly hardwood flooring surfaces. carpet is also an economical option because the product itself and installation fees are much lower than other flooring types. |

Types Available |
|
Plush |
|
 This type of carpet is usually one solid color and has a smooth, even pile height. During manufacturing, the tufts of this type of carpet are sheared to make the pile perfectly flat. It is the most popular style used in homes and apartments today. You can find practically any color imaginable. When made of nylon this type of carpet cleans easily and will wear well if properly maintained. Plush carpets will show footprints and vacuum marks. The standard life span of apartment-grade plush carpet (about 26 ounce) is about 5 years. Higher face weights can greatly increase the life span. |

Textured Plush |
|
| This plush carpet flooring style often has more than one color of yarn and has varying tuft heights, thus reducing footprint and vacuum marks. It comes in many colors and has about the same cost as an even pile height plush style. |  |
Frieze
|
|
Sculptured |
|
| This type of carpet flooring has two types of tufts used in its construction, one is looped and one is not, which gives this carpet a hi-low appearance. The color usually varies in shade from light to dark and is rich in appearance. |  |
Saxony
|
|
Berber |
|
| This carpet flooring option has become quite popular in recent years because of its elegant appearance. The tufts are looped and aligned in rows for a clean uniform look. When choosing this carpetbe sure to select one with smaller loops to get the best wear. Large looped Berbers tend to collapse quickly and look worn-out sooner.I don’t recommend Berber carpet in apartments or homes with small children or domestic pets as this carpet can snag and run easily and is difficult to repair. This carpet is usually made of Olefin fiber but is also available in nylon. |  |
