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.
