Carpet buying guide

Find the Right Carpet for Your Space

Fiber is what the yarn is made from. Construction is how it is shaped. Pile is how tall it stands.

Learn those three ideas below, then narrow the collections with filters based on each manufacturer's own specifications.

  • Material purchase or professional installation
  • Residential carpet and commercial carpet tile

Shortcuts that apply the matching filters below.

Fiber

Nylon or polyester?

Both are durable synthetic fibers used in quality carpet. The difference is in feel, recovery and value — and the construction matters as much as the fiber.

Las Cruces in Warm Glow · View collectionExample texture; appearance varies by style.

Nylon

A resilient synthetic fiber known for springing back after it is walked on.

Feel
Ranges from smooth to soft, depending on the yarn and how the carpet is constructed.
Performance
Resilience helps it recover from crushing in busy areas. Stain performance depends on each style's treatment and warranty.
Typical rooms
Often chosen for hallways, family rooms and stairs.
Close-up of Shaw Floors Easy Spirit I carpet in Shaker Beige, polyester (PET) fiber
Easy Spirit I in Shaker Beige · View collectionExample texture; appearance varies by style.

Polyester (PET)

Valued for a soft hand, rich color and good value.

Feel
Often soft to the touch, especially in cut-pile textures.
Performance
Naturally resists many water-based spills. How well it recovers from traffic depends more on construction and density.
Typical rooms
Popular for bedrooms, living rooms and lower-traffic spaces.

You cannot reliably identify fiber from a photo. Check the specification and compare physical samples.

Both fibers are made in cut, loop and patterned constructions. Triexta (PTT) is a separate fiber and is listed as such when the manufacturer specifies it.

Construction

See how carpet is made

Carpet yarn is stitched through a backing. What happens at the top of each tuft — cut open, left as a loop, or both — shapes how the carpet feels and wears.

Cut pile cross-sectionEight separate yarn tufts rise from the backing. Each tuft ends in open, cut tips with no yarn connecting the tops.BackingOpen cut tips

Cut pile

Each tuft of yarn is cut at the top, leaving open ends that stand up individually.

The surface feels soft and cushioned. Textures, friezes and plush styles are all cut pile.

Smooth, lightly twisted styles can show footprints and vacuum marks more than tightly twisted textures.

Loop pile cross-sectionOne continuous yarn forms eight rounded loops. Each loop is anchored in the backing at both ends and the yarn runs through the backing to the next loop.BackingContinuous loop

Loop pile

The yarn stays in continuous loops, anchored in the backing at both ends.

This makes a firm, flat surface that tends to resist crushing and footprints.

Loops can snag on pet claws or sharp objects. The risk depends on loop size and the style, so check the manufacturer's suitability guidance.

Cut-and-loop cross-sectionTaller cut tufts with open tips alternate with shorter intact loops in the same sample of carpet.BackingCut tipLoop

Cut-and-loop

Cut tips and intact loops are combined in one carpet, usually at different heights.

The mix creates sculpted patterns with visual depth that can help soften the look of footprints.

The looped areas share loop pile's snag considerations.

Illustration—not to scale.

Pile height

Low, medium or high pile?

Low pile cross-sectionEight cut tufts on the same backing as the other pile diagrams, drawn short. Relative heights only, not to scale.BackingPile height

Low pile

Short tufts make a firm surface that is easy to vacuum and works well at entries, in offices and under chairs with casters.

Our Low Pile filter shows styles with a manufacturer pile thickness under ¼ in.

Medium pile cross-sectionEight cut tufts on the same backing as the other pile diagrams, drawn at an intermediate height. Relative heights only, not to scale.BackingPile height

Medium pile

A middle ground for many living spaces: more cushion underfoot than low pile while staying fairly easy to vacuum.

High pile cross-sectionEight cut tufts on the same backing as the other pile diagrams, drawn tall. Relative heights only, not to scale.BackingPile height

High pile

Taller tufts feel plush, but they can show footprints and vacuum marks and take more effort to vacuum.

Often used where comfort matters more than heavy traffic, such as bedrooms.

Illustration—not to scale. Heights are relative only.

Pile height, density and face weight are not the same thing.

Pile height is how tall the tufts stand. Density is how closely they are packed. Face weight (oz/yd²) is how much yarn is on the surface.

A taller or heavier carpet is not automatically better quality or softer. Compare samples and specifications together.

Looks

Choose the look

Each photo is a real color from our catalog whose manufacturer listing matches the look described.

Attainable (Solid) in Smooth Taupe · View collectionExample texture; appearance varies by style.

Solid / texture

One consistent color with a subtle surface texture. It looks calm and blends with most furniture, but it can show lint and soil more readily than mixed colors.

Attainable (Tonal) in Fox Hollow · View collectionExample texture; appearance varies by style.

Tonal

Closely related shades of one color are blended in the yarn. It keeps a quiet look while helping disguise everyday lint and soil.

Pattern

Shapes or contrasting yarns create a visible design, such as a grid or geometric motif. Pattern can help hide visual variation like traffic paths, but it does not prevent wear.

What makes carpet last

Fiber and yarn
Fiber type, twist and density all affect how well yarn recovers from traffic.
Density
Closely packed tufts generally hold up better than tall, loosely spaced ones.
Cushion and installation
The right pad and a proper installation matter as much as the carpet itself.
Face weight
One data point, not a verdict. More yarn alone does not guarantee comfort or durability.
Warranty
Terms differ by style and manufacturer. We'll walk you through the actual warranty for any carpet you consider.

Match carpet to the room

Bedrooms
Soft cut-pile textures are a popular choice. Compare samples for feel, since face weight alone doesn't predict comfort.
Hallways and stairs
Resilient fibers such as nylon and dense, lower-profile styles handle concentrated traffic well. Check the manufacturer's stair guidance.
Homes with pets
Look for styles the manufacturer designates for pets, and favor cut pile over large loops. No carpet is pet-proof.
Offices and basements
Low-pile carpet tile can be replaced one tile at a time. Basements need a moisture assessment before any carpet is installed.

Keep it looking good

Vacuum often
Regular vacuuming in high-traffic areas removes the grit that wears fibers.
Blot, don't rub
Blot spills right away and follow the manufacturer's cleaning guide.
Entry mats
Mats at doorways keep soil from reaching the carpet.
Professional cleaning
Many manufacturer warranties require periodic hot-water extraction cleaning. Keep your receipts.

General guidance only. Manufacturer specifications, installation requirements and warranty terms always take priority.

Carpet FAQ

Can I buy carpet without installation?
Yes. Every carpet is available for material purchase or professional installation by Floorex Designs.
How do you decide which carpets are labeled Pet-Friendly?
Only styles the manufacturer itself designates for pets, such as Shaw Floors Pet Perfect, carry the Pet-Friendly label. We don't assign it based on fiber alone, and no carpet is pet-proof.
What does "In stock" mean?
In stock is shown only for colors we've confirmed. Other colors are listed as delivery in 5–7 business days, or ask us to check current availability.
What's the difference between carpet and carpet tile?
Broadloom carpet is installed from wide rolls, and most rooms need some seams depending on their size. Our commercial carpet tiles are 24 in × 24 in modules that install in sections and can be replaced individually.
Can I see samples before I decide?
Yes. Physical samples are available — contact us for current sample appointment details.
How do I get a price?
Request an estimate with your approximate square footage, or use our rough estimate calculator. We'll confirm exact pricing for the carpet you choose.
