Choosing the Right Carpet

Carpet is a very popular home flooring choice because it can be more affordable than other types of flooring and is comfortable under foot. 

According to the Carpet and Rug Institute, the benefits of carpet are that it:

• provides warmth and comfort
• adds beauty and style
• softens slips and falls
• reduces noise, and
• wears well

However, advocates of hard surfaces might argue that carpet is prone to staining, more difficult to keep clean than a hard surface, and harbors contaminants.  If you side with the hard surfacers, read Carpet and Your Health.  You might find that carpet is actually better for you than you think.

Now that you’re in the carpet fan club, there is a wide range of carpet to choose from.  But choosing the right carpet can be a little trickier than you might think.  There are different constructions to choose from (saxony, frieze, plush, etc.), endless color opportunities, and quality and performance considerations.  We know how overwhelming it can be to choose the right flooring, so we’ve hand-selected Beaulieu of America carpets for our central Florida flooring showroom.

• Will it have heavy or light traffic?
• Will the room be the center of activity for family and entertaining?
• Is there direct access from outside, or will the carpet be away from entrances?
• Will the carpet receive direct sunlight?
