CARPET
Your floors are the foundation of decorating so your choice in floor coverings is extremely important to the overall look and feel of a room and your home.
Carpet provides a warm cozy feeling with the added benefit of insulation to help keep your floors warm in winter and cool in the summer.
Carpet choices are vast in color, texture and material.
Carpet styles include: Berber, Frieze, Saxony, Sisal, Textured or Patterned, Cut Pile, Level Loop and Multi Level Loop.
Choosing Underlay
The two factors that play a role in choosing an underlay for your carpet are thickness and weight or density.
When considering thickness, thicker is not always better. If your underlay is too thick, it may void warranties due to compromised carpet performance. Anything thicker than 1/2" may be too much for your carpet. A good quality 7/16” underlay is an excellent choice for most
applications and is the Floors With Flair standard.
Next is the weight of the underlay, which is based upon how many pounds of material are used in a cubic foot. The heavier the weight, the denser the pad, and pad density is a key ingredient in carpet performance. Weights range from 4lb to 10lb in a chip-foam underlay with memory foam or rubber based options also now available.
