Carpet Installation in Dunwoody

Carpet is one of the longest standing flooring options and has been a popular flooring choice for centuries. Carpet rose to popularity in the late 16th century because of the rich textile rugs and that became coveted in this time period. These beautiful rugs helped to inspire the carpet of today. Many Dunwoody homeowners choose carpet flooring because it is beautiful while still being comfortable. 

Why Install New Carpet in Your Dunwoody Home?

People choose carpeted flooring for a variety of different reasons. Carpet feels wonderful under your feet and the soft, warm feel of carpet is ideal in areas with cold winters. The warmth is a huge factor for many homeowners, wood and tile can be frigid when the temperatures drop. The noise dampening of carpet is another factor homeowners consider, carpet can quiet your home significantly especially when installed in upper stories of the home. Oftentimes we see homeowners utilizing carpet in bedrooms and living spaces and hard surface flooring in hallways, bathrooms and kitchens. The cozy warm feel is great for areas you will walk in barefoot and play on the floor with the kids. Carpet installs much quicker than tile or wood flooring and can be done in a single day in many situations. Carpet is versatile and can work in a lot of different applications ranging from offices to schools and homes. Carpet is also a great option because there are so many different levels and price points available. 

Carpet Types 

Carpet is no different than other flooring types and comes in many different varieties. The different carpet types come from variations in the carpet fibers length, thickness and style. The way a carpet fiber is twisted is how the carpet gets its unique look and feeling. The way these carpet fibers are combined creates the different patterns and designs in many carpets. When the carpet fibers are twisted tightly the carpet is more rugged and durable. Carpet fibers can also be sheared to expose the ends of the fibers while others are left in a loop pile. Twisted loops help resist matting and protect against wear. The loops in the carpet are what creates the unique look of different carpet types and add the texture to the carpet. Loop pile is a durable choice but when the loops are pulled the carpet can become damaged. Some varieties of carpet combine the different pile types to create the texture and pattern we see and love. 

LCL or Loop Cut Carpet

LCL carpet is one of the newer carpet styles on the market and has been very popular. This carpet type combines both loops and twists to add dimension and design to the carpet. The loops and twists can create patterns in the carpet and the combined fiber styles can create elaborate designs. This carpet style is great in high use areas, it holds up great to regular use and can resist damage and wear. 

Velvet

Velvet is a lush and elegant cut pile carpet style that is known for its beautiful and soft feel. The fibers of the velvet carpet blend into a nearly seamless carpet that is rich and very smooth. 

Frieze

Frieze is a rugged cut pile carpet style. The strands of carpet in frieze are tightly twisted, allowing them to curl back on themselves creating a nubby or pebble-like look. This carpet holds up well but is not as lush as other styles. 

Textured Plush

Texture plush is one of the most versatile cut pile carpet styles available. This carpet is not as formal or fancy as velvet but still carries a lot of the beauty. Texture plush is more durable than velvet carpet and wears nicly. The tufts are more visible than in velvet but this allows for designs to be added into the carpet. 

Tone on Tone Styles

Tone on tone carpet is a carpet type that utilizes color variations to create randomly dyed spots to create a pattern of multiple colors. Tone on tone carpet is popular because of its ability to camouflage stains and dirt within the color variations. 

Patterned Carpet

Patterned carpets are not a super commonly chosen carpet type but not because of its durability or usefulness. Patterned carpets are a great carpet type and can be a great way to add style to a room. Not every homeowner loves patterned carpets but there are so many pattern options available there is likely to be something that works for everyone. Some of the pattern types include contemporary patterns, traditional or even floral patterns. Patterned carpet can be a great focal point in a room that doesn’t have the wall space for a lot of art of other decor.
