Carpet Selection & Installation Tips
📏 Accurate Measuring
Measure the longest and widest points of the room. Include closets and alcoves in your measurements.
🎯 Traffic Considerations
Choose higher density carpets for high-traffic areas. Loop pile or commercial grades work best.
🛏️ Padding Importance
Quality padding extends carpet life by 50%. Don't skimp on padding - it affects comfort and durability.
📐 Seam Placement
Plan seams away from high-traffic areas and doorways. Seams should run in the same direction as foot traffic.
🎨 Color & Pattern
Lighter colors show dirt more but make rooms look larger. Patterns hide dirt but can overwhelm small spaces.
🏠 Professional Installation
Professional installation includes stretching, proper seaming, and warranty. DIY can void manufacturer warranties.
