Residential Carpets

Regarding home flooring options, carpeting remains one of the most popular for its versatility, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. Residential carpet refers to carpet made for use in houses, apartments, and other living spaces, instead of carpet designed for commercial settings. With its wide array of textures, patterns, and colours, residential carpeting can complement the look and feel of any room in a home. Factors like lifestyle, traffic, and budget help determine the ideal carpeting for a given household.

Proper installation and ongoing maintenance ensure residential carpets retain their appearance and performance over the years. Overall, carpet offers homeowners a soft, warm, and colourful floor covering solution to elevate the comfort and style of their interior spaces.

Residential carpet is designed for use in homes rather than commercial settings. It comes in various styles, colours, textures, and materials to fit the décor of any room.

The most common materials for residential carpets are nylon, polyester, triexta, and wool. Nylon is durable, stain-resistant, and inexpensive. Polyester is also durable and affordable. Triexta (PTT) is a newer type of carpet fibre that combines nylon’s softness with polyester’s durability. Wool is very soft but more expensive.

Common home styles include cut pile carpets like plush, frieze, and Saxony. Cut pile carpets have yarn tips that are cut to create the pile surface. The plush carpet is velvety soft with a formal look. Frieze has a nubby, casual texture that hides footprints. Saxony has a smooth, luxurious finish.

Level loop carpets like Berber are also standard in homes. Loops are left uncut to create the pile for these styles. Berber is durable, casual, and good at hiding footprints.

Factors like traffic, lifestyle, appearance, comfort, and cost are usually considered when selecting residential carpets. Carpet for high-traffic areas needs to be durable. Homes with kids and pets may want stain-resistant carpet. Soft carpets are best for bedrooms. The carpet’s colour and texture should match the home’s décor.

Proper installation and regular maintenance ensure that residential carpets last long. Having them professionally cleaned every year removes dirt, allergens, and stains. With care, residential carpets can last 7-15 years on average.
