Fibers

Nylon: Durable and versatile, nylon is most widely used fiber. Most nylon styles today receive a stain-resist treatment for protections against household spills and stains.

Olefin (polypropylene): Will not absorb waters, is extremely resistant to stains, fading and moisture.

Polyester: Exceptional softness and color clarity and is also naturally stain and fade resistant.

Triexta: Is a new fiber developed by Dupont & used in Mohawk carpets. The only carpet with built-in stain and soil resistance that will never wear or wash off.

Filament

Staple: Yarns that are produced in short lengths and spun and twisted together to form threads of yarn and tufted into carpet. Note: After installation carpets can shed loose fibers. This is common and will stop with time depending on how often you vacuum or the amount of foot traffic.

Bulked Continuous Filament (BCF): Yarns that are actually long filaments of fiber that are piled together to form continuous bundles of fiber.

Other Definitions

Face Weight: The amount of surface yarn in a square yard of carpet.

Twist: The number of times fiber strands are twisted together in one inch length of carpet yarn.

Density: How tightly carpet fibers or yarn are packed together and bound into the carpet backing.

Installation Notes

Trim/Moldings do not need to be removed for installation.
We will remove and dispose of your existing carpet for an additional fee. Suggestion: Either the night before or morning of your install, vacuum the old carpet to minimize the airborne dust and particles that removing it will cause
Foot traffic and sweeper tracks are inevitable unless you choose commercial carpet or hard surfaces.
Depending on the fiber weight, carpet construction, and light from windows, seams may be visible.
Your new carpet will shed but after a few times of vacuuming this will stop. Some brands of vacuums may have too much suction and you may notice more shedding.

Ceramic & Porcelain tile

Porcelain vs. Ceramic

Tile is a type of flooring that is super durable, long lasting, and can be be installed custom due to its many sizes and shapes.

Ceramic tile is made up of sand, natural products, and clays and once it has been moulded into shape they are then fired in a kiln. When making ceramic tiles they can either be glazed or unglazed.

Porcelain is made by the dust pressed method from porcelain clays which result in impervious, fine grained and smooth. Usually frost-proof and can be installed outdoors.
