Berber carpet is a loop-pile flooring, the tightly woven yarn loops are best known for their high durability and resistance to stains.

Saxony carpet is a plush, velvety carpet that creates a smooth, elegant surface that gives any space a luxurious transformation. This flooring is exceptionally soft and available in a wide selection of fibers and colors. Saxony is best in lower traffic areas such as bedrooms, and prices vary widely by material but typically sit in the higher price teirs due to its high quality. 

Patterned carpet refers to any type of carpet that uses varying fibers to create a textured or repeated design. Geometric, floral, abstract, or tonal designs are all common types of pattern carpet and are best for adding flair to spaces or making a statement.

Carpet Installation

Professional installation of carpet helps guarantee smooth installation and long-term performance. At Flooring America Design Center in Miamisburg, OH, our experienced installation team helps ensure your new carpet is installed properly for lasting durability and beauty.

To prepare the room, remove all furniture and personal items. The installation team will remove the oldImage Alt Text flooring and padding to reveal the subfloor. Any old glue or stables will be scraped away and the floor will be swept and vacuumed if necessary. A clear subfloor makes for smooth installation and longevity of your floors. Tack strips will be placed around the perimeter of the room; this helps position the carpet and lock it into place.

Carpet cushion will be rolled out and cut to fit the shape of the room. This cushion is laid perpendicular to how the carpet will run and stapled or glued down to the subfloor. Next, the chosen carpet will be brought it and positioned into the room and cut to the exact size of your space. If there are any seams, a heat-seaming iron will be used to join the pieces together.

Your carpet will then be stretched, locking it into the tack strips, and any excess carpet will be cut along the baseboards. The edges will be tucked between the gap created by the tack strip and baseboard to create a neat edge. 

Proper installation helps prevent uneven flooring, gaps, or premature wear while creating a polished final look you can enjoy for years to come. Our team at the Miamisburg Flooring America Design Center will help simplify the flooring process from start to finish and ensure your floors will stand up to years of usuage.
