Carpet & Carpeting
WARM UP YOUR ROOMS
There’s nothing like carpeting to warm up a room. What a wonderful feeling it is to step out of bed onto a soft, luxurious carpet. And carpet makes it comfortable to play with your children on the living room floor. Carpet, because of its sound-absorbing characteristics, even makes a room feel quieter. In terms of style, today you have a vast array of colors, tones, hues, and textures to choose from to complement any décor and fit into any lifestyle. You may also be surprised to learn that carpet is a very economical choice for your home. Carpet normally costs less than hard flooring and it’s affordable to install and to replace. And, when cared for properly, it can last for decades.
TYPES OF CARPET
Loop
Consists of yarns that are looped and left uncut on the surface. Choose from a low, tight weave or a luxurious high-level pile. A great choice for any room that gets a lot of traffic because it’s durable and hides dirt and soil well.
Pattern
Pattern loop carpet has a sculptured look due to its combination of high cut and low-cut tufts. Pattern carpet is tough, durable and perfect for areas that get a lot of traffic and wear.
Texture
Texture carpet is often referred to as “footprint free carpet” or “trackless carpet”. The pile is made from curled yarn that provides a beautiful surface and minimizes the look of -prints and vacuum cleaner marks.
Twist/Frieze
This category includes shag and cable. If you want a modern look for an active part of your home, twist is a great choice. It shows minimal footprints and vacuum cleaner marks, as well.
Plush
Plush carpet looks like velvet. High-density construction imparts it with a luxurious and formal look. Because plush cans show footprints and vacuum cleaner marks, it’s a good choice for rooms that don’t get a lot of traffic.
Padding
At Earl Franks you have your choice of three types of padding, regular, urine resistant (for you pet owners out there), and luxury. We’ll help you decide which one is right for you.
