Carpet

Q: Can I buy a less expensive carpet if I get a better pad?
A: A good cushion will not a make a bad piece of carpet good, but a bad cushion can ruin a nice piece of carpet. For carpet to perform up to your expectations we need to match the right carpet to the right padding for you.
We really wanted a wool carpet, and your selection was the best we had seen. The installers were so quiet they never woke Kelsey from her nap. The pink and white berber is fabulous!
Chuck & Dave, Thank you again for all the help in picking our new carpet. As usual, you did a great job!
Your installation craftsmen are certainly an asset for your business. Not only are they excellent at their trade but most accommodating and just plain pleasant to have in our home.

As you may surmise, we are very pleased with our new carpeting and its installation. My wife is “tickled silly“ with the way it looks.
We sell wool and nylon carpeting in a variety of colors, textures, and patterns.

Wool
There are things found in nature that man has been unable to improve upon - wool fiber is one of them.

Durability and Appearance Retention:
Wool carpet has consistently proven that it out-performs any other fiber.

Flame Resistance:

Wool's high moisture content and its protein constituents will not support combustion.

Aesthetics:

For beautiful textures and colors, wool has no equal. It's soft. It's smooth. It looks and feels like no other carpet fiber.

Cleanability:

The outer coating of wool fiber naturally holds dirt high in the pile. This property enables wool carpet to release dirt easily when vacuumed.

Water Repellency:

Since most carpet stains are water based, you'll appreciate that each wool fiber is covered by a thin membrane which is highly water repellent. In fact, most spills blot up easily.

Sheep - renewable - wool carpet by Woolshire
Only wool carpet assures you all of wool's unique qualities in every tuft. So, even though you pay a little more for it, you'll be amply rewarded in the years to come when your wool carpet still looks and feels great!

Some of our suppliers of wool rugs and carpets are: Other natural fibers used in carpets and rugs are sisal, seagrass, coir, jute, silk, and cotton. Even though these other natural fibers are beautiful, they are more delicate than wool, and can be more difficult to maintain.
SYNTHETIC YARNS
There are basically three different synthetic yarns used in the manufacturing of area rugs and carpets. Chuck and Dave affectionately refer to them as "The Good", "The Bad" and "The Ugly".

NYLON "The Good"
  1. The king of synthetic yarn.
  2. Outstanding wear resistance and durability.
  3. Best performing of the synthetic yarns.
  4. Most resilient of the synthetic yarns.
  5. Easiest synthetic yarn to clean regular soil from.
POLYESTER " The Bad"
  1. Stain resistant- static resistant.
  2. The king of deception.
  3. Bulky yarn (looks and feels thick).
  4. Less resilient than nylon (shows traffic).
  5. Low performance.
  6. We would describe polyester carpet as the perfect carpet for a room that no one enters.
OLEFIN/POLYPROPYLENE "The Ugly"
  1. Ugly looks.Ugly feel.Ugly performance.
  2. Attracts and holds soil- has an oily finish.
  3. Least resilient of the synthetic yarns- shows traffic soon after installation.
  4. Lowest melting temperature of the synthetic yarns.
  5. Stain resistant- colorfast- resists fading.
  6. Inexpensive (Overpriced. Even it were free).
  7. Originally designed for carpet backing materials and outdoor carpet (still the only two things it's good for).
