Carpet in Oregon

When you think of carpets, you usually associate them with words such as comfort and softness. Homeowners today still choose carpet over other flooring options for their homes.

Why Should I Have Carpet in My Oregon Home?

The combination of climate, comfort, and design flexibility make carpet a practical and popular choice for many Oregon homeowners.

• Climate Considerations: Oregon's climate is characterized by cool, wet weather throughout the year. Carpet can provide valuable insulation that helps regulate temperatures inside the home, keeping it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
• Comfort and Softness: Carpet offers a soft, comfortable surface underfoot, which can be particularly appreciated during the cooler months when bare feet or slippers may be the norm. This makes it popular for living rooms, bedrooms, and other high-traffic areas.
• Noise Reduction: Carpeted floors help absorb and dampen sound, reducing echoes and noise transmission within the home. This can be beneficial in open-concept layouts or homes with creaky hardwood floors.
• Versatility in Design: Carpet comes in a wide array of colors, patterns, and textures, allowing homeowners to easily integrate it into their desired interior design aesthetic, whether traditional, modern, or something in between.
• Durability: Oregon's climate can be tough on flooring, with the potential for moisture, mud, and other wear-and-tear. Carpet is generally more durable and easier to maintain than hard surface options.
• Allergy and Asthma Considerations: Carpet can help trap allergens like pollen, dust, and pet dander, potentially relieving those with respiratory sensitivities - a common issue in many Oregon homes.

What are The Different Types of Carpet?

Color can play a significant factor in your decision when it comes to choosing a carpet; for example, the darker a rug, the easier it is to hide stains. There are five main types: level loop, patterned, textured, frieze, and plush. All these, except for plush, do exceptionally well at hiding most traffic patterns. Pile styles are also important. A carpet pile is the density of fibers that make up a carpet. The cut pile has fibers cut at the ends, making the carpet denser. The loop pile is the opposite, where no fibers are left at the surface, and the carpet is in a series of loops, giving it an even look. A multi-level loop staggers the height of the loop fibers to create an uneven surface. Cut and loop piles also provide an uneven look, give texture to the carpet, and hide dirt. The look and feel of your carpet can be impacted by the type of fiber used in the pile. It can determine the stain and matting resistance as well as long-term durability.

What Carpet Fibers Should I Choose?

• Nylon is one of the top choices for carpets because of its durability. It is also a resilient fiber that must be treated to become stain-resistant.
• Polyester is an alternative to nylon and is often a more cost-effective choice. However, it must be treated to become stain-resistant and is less durable than nylon.
• Olefin is most well-known for its use in loop carpets like Berber. It holds vibrant colors and patterns well.
• Triexta is a natural stain-resistant and durable fiber that is newer to the market but becoming increasingly popular.
• Wool is a natural fiber that is known for its innate softness. It is an excellent choice if you’re looking for an eco-friendly fiber and must be maintained by professionals to keep its look.

Professional Carpet Installation in Oregon

Today’s carpets are made to be durable and resistant to staining. That means you can have carpet installed almost anywhere in your home. The best places for carpets include bedrooms, living rooms, and children’s playrooms. Other places you can install extra durable and stain-resistant carpets include hallways and stairs. You can even install a waterproof carpet in your finished basement. As always, carpets should never be installed in kitchens or bathrooms because of the daily moisture, and food can become trapped in the carpet fiber.
