Carpet has been a popular option for many years.  Carpet is soft under your feet and has great noise absorbtion qualitys.

New materials and construction methods give carpet qualities that may suit your decorating needs and lifestyle.

• Broadloom carpet absorbs sound, an appealing feature for condominiums, town houses, and homes with high ceilings.
• Yarn construction and surface textures can add soft contrast to a room's angular architecture.
• Today, carpet is available with soil, stain, odor, and static-resistant features, and manufacturing techniques have increased its durability and cleanability.
• Carpet is like comfort food to many people - it is what they grew up with.
• Some of the leading manufactures of carpet are StainMaster, Shaw, Mohawk, Milliken, Lees, Masland, Karastan and Beaulieu.

Almost all carpet is made from synthetic fibers.  Synthetic fibers are more resistant to stains and much less expensive than natural fibers. 

Acrylic fiber is known as art, art wool, or man-made wool because it is an artificial fiber.  This fiber provides the look and feel of wool at a fraction of the cost. It resists static electricity, moisture, mildew, fading, crushing, staining, and sun damage.  However, acrylic fiber is not durable enough for high traffic areas.





Nylon is the most popular fiber (about 90% of residential carpets and 65% of all carpets).  Nylon is a good choice for all traffic areas because it is durable and static free, maintains fiber height, and resists soiling, staining, and mildew.  Nylon fibers, which are dyed after production, maintain color.  Nylon carpets vary from $8 per square yard for cut piles to $30 for multi-level loops.  Nylon comes in continuous or spun fibers.  Spun carpet is made of short lengths of fibers that are spun together.  These continuous fibers are less likely to unravel.
