DIY Flooring Laminates

So out of all the different flooring options available you have decided that carpeting is the best choice for your room remodel. That is indeed a great start, but the next decision to be made is what kind of carpet do you want installed? Color and/or patterning issues aside modern carpet comes in a number of different textures and types and some work better in certain situations than others. Here is a guide to some of the most popular types of carpeting, all of which can be found in abundance at your local flooring store.

Frieze - Frieze carpet (properly pronounced "free-zay") is great for very high traffic areas. Its very twisted pile is made up of shorter fibers that naturally curl in a number of different directions.This means that footprints and marks left by the vacuum do not show as readily as they do on other types of carpet.

Texture Carpet - When texture carpet is being created the carpet fibers are cut and twisted only slightly- they are nowhere near as "curly" as those found in frieze carpeting. This too is an excellent choice for areas that see a lot of foot traffic.

Berber - This type of carpet is also often called loop carpet as it has tall loops that are all about the same height. Usually a Berber carpet is multicolored, with softer shades complementing the main color. Berber is a good choice for rooms where spills and accidents are likely to happen (like a child's bedroom)

Wool - Wool is of course all natural, making it the most eco-friendly carpeting choice. It is also absolutely beautiful to look at once laid and is far easier to maintain than you might imagine.

Pattern Carpet - The patterns are created in the cut of the carpet pile itself, with "islands" of higher cut carpet pile contrasting with lower cut loops to create an overall three dimensional patterned effect. Pattern carpeting is great for adding a modern and contemporary touch to any room in your home.

Plush Carpet - As the very name suggests plush carpeting is the ultimate in carpeting luxury. Plush carpet is velvety in texture and is perhaps the best choice for a formal dining or living room.
