Consider New and Improved Carpet when Looking for Floor Covering

Carpeting had to up its game. The competition from hard-scape floor covering almost defeated the wall-to-wall plush carpet that had dominated the flooring market for decades. But carpeting has bounced back as a worthy contender by upping its game. The new and improved carpet being manufactured today offers many of the same features that hardwood and manufactured flooring offers, just with a softer side.

Stain Resistant

In the past, carpeting had been treated with a surface coating stain protection, today’s carpeting has stain protection infused into every yarn fiber. Clean up on most new carpeting today only requires water and a clean cloth, and when the water has dried, you’ll never know the stain was there.

Odor Control

The new and improved carpeting of today can actually make your home smell better by helping to control odors. Some major carpet manufacturers’ are using additives in the yarn fiber that are designed to reduce common household smell like pet and cooking odors.

Pet Smart Carpet

Stain resistant and odor-controlling are great features for new carpeting to have, but if you own an indoor pet, this feature will sell you on new carpet for your floors. One brand of carpeting comes with a lifetime warranty against pet urine stains. When a pet accident happens and if the stain can’t be removed, you get new carpeting, free. For life.

Patterns and Color

Bi-color and patterned carpet of yesteryear only came in woven or level loop styles. Pretty, but not too soft underfoot. Today you can get plush cut-pile in a variety of patterns and bi-color designs that will match any home d�©cor plan.

Softness

Your bare feet will be able to tell the difference in the feel of modern manufactured carpeting. Thinner yarn fibers that are packed more densely and made with non-traditional (corn, recycled plastic) materials have produced a finished product that is softer, yet durable, then yesteryear’s wall-to-wall carpeting.

Pricing and Installation

Carpeting is competitively priced and typically costs far less than other flooring material. Installation is quicker and easier than other hard-scapes like tile or hardwood flooring.

Manufacturer’s Warranties

Each carpet manufacturer will offer a different warranty for their product. Read the fine print of these warranties as most will require a certain type of padding to be placed under the carpet in order for the warranty to be valid.
