Types of carpet

COLORADO CARPET BROKERS knows that understanding a few simple basics about carpet will help you make the right choices for your COLORADO lifestyle and budget.

Cut pile:  Still one of today's most popular constructions, cut pile achieves its durability through the type of fiber used, density of tufts and the amount of twist in the yarn.  Highly twisted yarn will hold its shape longer, making it a smart choice for high-traffic areas.

Textured Plush — Most decoratively versatile.  Textured surfaces help hide footprints and vacuum marks.  Add causal beauty to any room.  Preferred style for busy households.  A great “whole-house” carpet.

Saxony — Refined surface. Works well with traditional interiors.  Ideal for living and dining rooms. Designed for moreof a formal look, for more formal homes.

Friezé — Forms a "curly" textured surface because yarns are extremely twisted.  Has an informal look.  Helps minimize footprints and vacuum marks.

Plush (Velvet) — Has a dense luxurious feel.  Shows footprints and vacuum marks easily. Best for low traffic areas and formal rooms.

Level loop pile:  Here loops are the same height, creating an informal look.  This style generally lasts a long time in high-traffic areas. Many of today’s popular Berber styles are level loop styles with flecks of a darker color on a lighter background.  This is a good choice for contemporary to cottage furnishings.

Multi-level loop pile:  This style usually has two to three different loop heights to create pattern effects, providing good durability and a more casual look.

Cut-loop pile:  This carpet style combines cut and looped yarns.  It provides variety of surface textures, including sculptured effects of squares, chevrons and swirls. The multicolor effects hide soil and stains.

Facts on Carpet Fibers

Fiber selection affects carpet end use performance. Manufacturers are a valuable resource in determining the fiber and construction most appropriate to the application. These are the basic types of carpet pile fibers that COLORADO CARPET BROKERS can assist you in purchasing.

Nylon:  Two types, Nylon 6,6 and Nylon 6, are typically used in carpet. Nylon features include the ability to produce a variety of color schemes, luxurious soft “hand”, excellent resiliency, durability, abrasion resistance and texture retention. Other features include good resistance to stains and soils. Nylon is considered to be suitable for all types of traffic. Solution dyed nylon provides excellent color fastness and increases stain cleanability. Nylons are by far the Carpet Fiber King, highly recommended by Colorado Carpet Brokers for maximum duribility and performance outside of wool.

Olefin (polypropylene):  Olefin features include its inherent and permanent resistance to water-based stains, its colorfastness and resistance to static electricity. Olefin is resistant to moisture, making it the primary fiber used in indoor/outdoor carpet.

Polyester:  Polyester features include its luxurious soft “hand’, inherent and permanent stain resistance, and ability to produce bright colors. Other features include good abrasion resistance, fade resistance, and cleanability.

Triexta:  Triexta features include its luxurious soft “hand”, excellent colorfastness and bright colors, inherent and permanent stain resistance. Other features include durability, resistance to fading, cleanability, texture retention and resiliency.

Wool:  Wool is a natural fiber noted for its luxury and performance. Its features include soft “hand”, high bulk, color variety and inherent flame retardant characteristics. Colorado Carpet Brokers is one of the few places that can obtain our customers Beautiful High Quality imported wool fibers at the lowest pricing in the carpet industry.

A rainbow of choices

Because it covers so much living space, carpet is the foundation of your room’s décor.  It can be a neutral color, blending in with fabrics and other surfaces, or it can be a vibrant focal point of the room, making a statement that reflects your style.

Carpet comes in almost every color you can imagine and is a personal choice.  You will want to select a color that unites your decorative elements and creates the atmosphere you desire.  Ever-popular beige carpet can make a room look spacious, but for a bolder statement, look for a common color in your furniture and draperies.  Choose a carpet with a similar hue.  Environmental colors, like blues, deep greens, rosy quartz and stony neutrals are becoming increasingly popular.

Warm colors can turn up the heat in a room that lacks light, while cool greens and blues have a calming effect.  Lighter colors make the room seem larger; darker colors provide coziness. There are also practical considerations in color selection.  New stain and soil resistant technologies makes today's lighter color carpet much easier to clean, allowing for more decorating options.  Medium and darker colors, tweeds and textures are good at hiding soil in your home's high-traffic areas.

Also, know that the color of your carpet will look different under different lighting conditions. With busy families today who has time to shop all over town for flooring?

Carpet is a superior choice

Well known for its ability to provide warmth and style to a room, absorb unwanted noise and provide firm traction, carpet has gained a reputation as the floor covering of choice for aging adults who live on their own or with their families.

Safety:  Safety is a top consideration for older individuals, who seek a stable, slip resistant walking surface that protects them from “slip and fall” accidents. Carpeted surfaces are significantly more effective at preventing slips and falls than hard, smooth surfaces. And when accidents do happen, they tend to be less severe on carpet.

For those individuals who use braces, canes, or walkers, maintaining balance can be less difficult with low pile carpet combined with an extra firm cushion. COLORADO CARPET BROKERS also recommends securely fastening carpet and rugs to provide firmer footing.

Carpet also can reduce or eliminate reflected glare, which minimizes disorientation and can reduce leg fatigue associated with walking or standing on hard surfaces.

Healing colors:  Studies have shown that color has psychological effects on moods.  With this in mind, blues, greens, teal, mauve, coral, peach and warm neutrals are often chosen for their soothing effects. Avoid “hot” tones such as red, which may raise blood pressure for some, and yellow, which may cause nausea and anxiety to someone who already is not feeling well.

Color also plays a significant role with Alzheimer’s patients.  According to the Alzheimer’s Association, patients remember colors better than numbers; therefore, color in carpet can provide a memory link and better help to orient a person to a specific room or area.

Noise reduction:  Lack of privacy and unwanted noise can sometimes challenge seniors, who appreciate their independence and may not be used to the noise levels created by visiting family members.  Carpet with an attached or separate cushion is the most effective way to control noise and minimize sound indoors.

Comfort and warmth:   Older adults, whose feet and ankles are susceptible to temperature changes, will stay warmer on carpet due to its natural insulating properties.  The surface temperature of carpet is substantially higher than that of hard surfaces due to pile construction, which acts as an efficient thermal insulator.
