Carpet in Wisconsin

Carpet has been a mainstay in American homes for over half a century and continues to appeal to home and business owners from all walks of life. Progress in the ways we make new carpet means this soft, colorful, and sturdy floor is more popular than ever, with plenty of options for busy business owners, families, and pet parents.

At McCartney Carpet One Floor & Home, we’re proud to be Wisconsin’s destination for better carpet. With the best selection of carpet in Waushara County, we’re here to guide you through every step of your flooring journey.

Let’s dig deeper into the wonderful world of modern carpet.

What is the Best Type of Carpet for my Home or Business?

The answer to this question truly depends on you, your budget, your lifestyle, and your decorating style.

Do you have little kids at home? Or are you planning to adopt a new canine friend? If so, stain-resistance and moisture-friendly are the name of the game! On the other hand, if you’re looking for soft and luxurious flooring for your master bedroom, you might lean closer to something plush, cozy, and comforting.

Here’s a quick, handy overview of the different carpet construction types:

• Cut-pile carpets are made with their fibers attached to the backing: each fiber is then cut at varying depths and twists.
• Loop pile carpets are made with their fibers left “looped” at their ends, though heights of those loops can vary.
• Cut-loop carpet combines the style of the two other carpet types, making for the most dramatic designs and patterns.

Of course, style is truly just the beginning: you’ll need to give serious thought to the types of natural or synthetic fibers in your carpet. Pay attention here: each type of carpet fiber not only feels and looks different but performs differently too!

• Nylon is considered the most popular type of carpet fiber. This soft synthetic is known for its durability and can be treated for reliable stain resistance.
• Polyester has a look and feel much like nylon, but tends to be a lot more affordable.
• Olefin is yet another type of synthetic fiber that’s often chosen due to the fact that it doesn’t absorb liquids. However, this doesn’t mean it’s stain-proof, so handle with care!
• Triexta, unlike olefin, is very much stain-resistant. This soft, comfy synthetic is a great addition to nurseries, playrooms, and family rooms.
• Wool  is by far the most popular natural carpet fiber, and for many smart reasons. It’s very insulating, holds on to its color, is eco-friendly, soft, and fire-resistant.

Where Can I Install Carpet?

In most cases, we recommend using carpet in low moisture areas, like living rooms, bedrooms, and playrooms.

Modern manufacturing, however, has given us some amazing sturdy and stain-resistant carpets that fare great in hallways, on the stairs, and even in busy office lobbies.

Can I Install My Own Carpet?

We really, really, REALLY don’t think you should attempt to install your own carpet.  In most cases, it simply won’t turn out well.

Installing new floors is a professional trade that industry experts spend decades learning. The truth is, carpet installation can be a tricky job that requires careful measurements, cutting, stretching, and choosing the right carpet padding.

If not installed right the first time, your carpet might show signs of trouble, such as:

• Gapping
• Unsightly Seams
• Unsightly Lumps
• Uneven Patches of Wear

These can all shorten your carpet’s lifespan in a major way, and in many cases, your product warranty won’t cover these damages if you DIY. As you can see, it’s usually best to choose professional installation.
