Type of Carpet

Selecting the right carpet for your home is important, as it can greatly impact the overall look and feel of your living space. Here are some key factors to consider when making your decision:

Nylon carpet

Nylon carpet fibers are a widely used and popular type of carpet fiber known for their durability and resilience. Made from a synthetic polymer, nylon fibers are known for their ability to withstand heavy foot traffic and resist wear and tear. Nylon fibers have excellent recovery properties that allow them to bounce back to their original shape after being compressed, making them a great choice for high traffic areas. In short, if you’re in search of a carpet that will last longer, with heavy foot traffic nylon is the perfect option.

polyester carpet

Polyester carpet fibers are a popular choice among homeowners and business owners due to their durability, stain resistance, and colorfastness. Made from a synthetic polymer called polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyester fibers are less expensive than other types of carpet fibers such as wool or nylon. They are often used in cut pile carpets, which have a soft, plush feel and come in a variety of colors and patterns. Berber carpets, which have a loop pile construction, are also commonly made with polyester fibers and are often used in commercial settings. However polyester fibers have a lower melting point than other fibers, making them susceptible to melting or scorching when exposed to high heat. Overall, polyester carpet fibers are an affordable and practical option for those in search of a carpet with good stain resistance and colorfastness.

polypropylene carpet

Polypropylene, also known as olefin, is a synthetic carpet fiber that is known for its durability, stain resistance, and affordability. It is a thermoplastic polymer made from the monomer propylene, and is often used as a substitute for wool in carpet manufacturing. Polypropylene fibers are resistant to moisture, mildew, and insects, making them a popular choice for outdoor and high-traffic areas. They are also easy to clean and maintain, as they can be steam cleaned or cleaned with most common household cleaning agents. Additionally, polypropylene fibers are colorfast and resistant to fading, which makes them a good choice for use in areas with large windows or high levels of natural light. However, it is not as soft as wool, so it’s not best for high-end applications or in bedrooms.

wool carpet

Foot feels 5 stars plus 100 extra stars. Wool wins all the foot feel awards while being a natural product that is also super long lasting. Bonus: Wool acts as a natural dehumidifier by absorbing up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp. It is a little high-maintenance, unfortunately, with its need to be professionally steam cleaned and it can be prone  to shedding.

STRAND CONSTRUCTION

Without delving into all the details, having a surface understanding of the manner in which carpet is constructed is pretty important when you’re looking to get the best possible outcome from your purchase.  While you don’t want to sacrifice comfort for function, it’s necessary to keep in mind that the construction of the strand will have an impact on its overall performance.

Cut Pile

A really popular carpet construction, a cut pile attains its durable nature due to the density and amount of twist in the yarn. A high twist carpet will hold its original shape longer which makes it a smart choice for high traffic rooms. Its pile is less constrained than a loop pile giving it a softer, cozier feel.

ideal for:

loop Pile

Loop piles come in a standard loop, multi-level loop and a cut-loop pile. Traditionally considered ‘berbers’, loop pile carpets are made up of low looped strands which add stability to the fiber. This makes a loop carpet an ideal option for high traffic areas.

ideal for:

frieze

Shag! Well, sort of. Constructed the exact same way as a cut pile, frieze carpet has a pile that is looser and twistier than your standard cut pile. It also has a longer, thinner strand than it’s 1970’s cousin that most know as shag which makes frieze easier to keep clean.

ideal for:

Carpet Installation Method

The final consideration in your purchasing journey is installation. Just like everything else we already discussed, the method of installation will depend on the area that your carpet is being installed.

Stretch In

Stretch-in installation is the most widely used method of installation. For this, tack strip is adhered around the perimeter of the room and underpad is laid down. Your carpet is then affixed to the tack strip and stretched-in on top of the underpad.

Glue Down

Mainly used for commercial installations, carpet is glued directly to the floor. This works best with low level piles and is a good method if buckling or peaking is a concern.

Loose Lay

Here, carpet is cut to size and loosely laid on the floor without being attached to the floor. This method of installation cannot be guaranteed and is usually only performed in areas where it may be necessary to easily and frequently move the carpet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions about our flooring installation services in Toronto:
What is carpet?

Carpet is a  floor covering made from various fibers, including wool, nylon, polyester, or polypropylene, which are woven or tufted into a backing material. It is used to provide comfort, insulation, and aesthetic appeal in homes and commercial spaces.

Carpet installation includes measuring the area, preparing the subfloor, laying the carpet, stretching it, trimming excess, and finishing with baseboards and transitions.

Consider factors such as fiber type, pile height, color, texture, durability, and your lifestyle when choosing carpet for your home. Visiting carpet stores and consulting with experts can help you make an informed decision.

You can find carpet stores near you by searching online directories, map applications, or asking for recommendations. You can also search for “carpet stores near me” online for immediate results.

The cost of new carpet installation and replacement varies based on several factors, including the size of the area, the quality of the carpet, additional materials required, and labor costs. On average, you can expect to pay between $2 to $6 per square foot for installation. For a more accurate estimate, it’s best to get quotes from multiple sources to compare prices.

The time required for professional carpet installation depends on factors like the area size, complexity, and installer availability. It can typically range from a few hours to a day.

Some professional carpet installers offer furniture moving services as part of their installation package, while others may charge an additional fee for this service.

Common carpet fibers include wool, nylon, polyester, and polypropylene, each with unique characteristics in terms of durability, stain resistance, and comfort.

Carpet padding provides cushioning, insulation, and support for the carpet. It helps extend the life of the carpet and improves comfort. It’s generally recommended for most installations.

Measure the length and width of the room, including any alcoves or irregularities. Add extra for seam allowances and wastage, and consult with professionals for accurate measurements.

Loop pile carpet has loops of yarn, providing durability and texture, while cut pile carpet has the loops cut, offering a plush, soft feel.

In some cases, carpet can be installed over existing flooring, but it depends on the condition and type of the existing floor. Consult with professionals for advice.

Many carpet manufacturers offer warranties on their products, and some installers may provide warranties on their installation work. Review warranty information before purchasing.

While it’s possible to install carpet in these areas, it’s not recommended due to moisture and potential staining. Consider alternative flooring options such as tile, vinyl, or laminate.

Carpet tiles, also known as carpet squares or planks, are modular sections of carpeting that are typically square or rectangular. They provide a flexible and versatile flooring solution, allowing for easy installation and design creativity. Unlike traditional carpet rolls, which cover large areas in one continuous piece, carpet tiles can be installed individually. This makes them easier to replace if damaged and offers more options for mixing patterns and colors to create custom designs.

Advantages of carpet tiles include easy installation, flexibility in design, ability to replace individual tiles, suitability for DIY projects, and durability in high-traffic areas.

Yes, carpet tiles are suitable for both residential and commercial settings, including homes, offices, retail spaces, and hospitality environments.

Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning are typically sufficient to maintain carpet tiles. Some carpet tiles are also designed to be removable for easier cleaning or replacement.

Yes, carpet tiles are suitable for areas with heavy furniture. However, it’s essential to use furniture coasters or pads to distribute the weight evenly and prevent indentations in the tiles.

Yes, carpet tiles can be installed on stairs, but special stair nosing may be required to finish the edges and provide a finished look. It’s recommended to consult with a professional installer for stair installations.
