Floor Carpet

Design your Dreams With Superb Carpet Choices

One of the most popular choices for home flooring, carpets brings color and warmth into every room. Endless patterns, colors and textures still make carpets the number one selling floor covering today.

Indeed, carpet outsold every other type of flooring for the last 50 years and accounts for more than half the flooring purchases made each year. In addition to adding warmth and insulation, carpet is the most practical, versatile and fashionable floor covering. As a design element, carpets can quietly fade into the background or add a loud punch of color. Because carpet can be applied over almost any sub floor or existing flooring, a thick pile carpet will hide irregularities in sub flooring in a way that other flooring coverings can't.

Flooring is the key to achieving the right look and tone to any room in the home. The serenity and calm of natural look carpet and the extravagance in the use of colour, imagination and texture has put flooring to the forefront of interior design. If you want to capture the perfect mood for your home, then look first to the flooring.

Versatile splashes of color ground a room, giving it personality and function. A cheap alternative to changing your room could be as simple as using an area rug, an alternative to investing in a new carpet. Not only will they add warm and comfort to a room, but next to carpet, rugs are definitely leading the way as the hottest decorating feature again this year.

No matter which carpet you choose, it should be serviceable for your lifestyle, and if you are building a new house or renovating an older one, your choices in floor coverings are endless. Contrasting styles can create a variety of effects. A heavy wool twist carpet can create a feeling of warmth and luxury – great to come home to or the perfect welcome for any guest.

A carpet will set the tone of the room - the look and feel of a room - but beyond appearance, the ultimate decision on which carpet you chose, should be based on how a room is used. For example, a room in which there is heavy foot traffic needs a more hard wearing carpet such as a plain twist, which is durable and resilient, laying the carpet on heavy quality underlay will make it feel every bit as luxurious as a carpet three times the price. Not only that, but your carpet will last longer and if you want to change your carpet more frequently you can leave the underlay down, saving both time and money.

Whereas a bedroom floor needs to be softer and cosy on the feet, for pure unashamed luxury, the return of the sumptuous shag-pile carpet that caresses your every step is once again making luxury fashionable.

Regardless of whether you’re looking for a textured and more luxurious carpet or cut pile, Berber, frieze or patterned carpet, today’s retailers have a vast selection of all the styles and colour choices you could need.

What can I do to stop the loud creeks from my wood floor before installing carpet?

I want to put carpets in my bedrooms over old wood floors. The floor creeks loudly in certain places. (50 year old wood flooring) So should I drill several screws into the wood flooring in certain places to stop the creeking? I don't want to have a creeky carpeted flooring. BTW the flooring is over a crawlspace.

try using some talcom powder to fill in the squeaky cracks... then lay a very thick underlayment... something durable... here's a link on sound proofing floors:
