Carpet has several distinct benefits when compared to hard surface flooring options.
Carpets absorb sound, helping to dampen noise both within the room and between rooms or floors.
Carpet feels soft on the feet and can be luxurious or casual depending on the style.
Carpet helps insulate floors which can improve home comfort by keeping it warmer in winter.
Carpeting provides a soft, non-slip surface to your flooring that helps prevent falls, but also reduces the risk of injury if a fall occurs.
It's tempting to think of carpets and rugs as basically one in the same; however, while both provide soft flooring coverage, you get a lot more when you choose carpet installation services from The Home Depot.
It’s about more than just new carpet. You get professional advice, quality products and expert installation backed by our 1-year labour warranty.
While rugs are generally used to cover specific parts of a room for specific purposes, professional carpet installation provides a wallto-wall finish.
With carpet installation, your carpet is carefully measured, fitted and placed for long-term durability. A rug is a more limited solution, placed over parts of the floor as needed.
Thanks to their baseboard-to-baseboard coverage and soft underpadding, professionally installed carpets provide better comfort and warmth than most rugs.
The Home Depot offers three main fibre options for carpet installation: nylon, polyester, and olefin.
Nylon and polyester are easy-to-clean carpet installation options, while nylon is less likely to mat down and polyester offers superior stain resistance. Olefin is both a durable and inexpensive carpet installation choice.
Different carpet materials are recommended depending on the room or part of your home where carpeting is being installed. Our installers can work with you to help you match different carpet styles and materials to help you find the right ones for every floor. Here’s a quick guide.
Nylon is a durable material and is recommended for high-traffic areas like stairs and hallways. Proper installation is key to ensure the best look and fit.
Discuss With Your Installer:
Polyester carpets are typically softer and offered in a wider range of colour options, making them a comfortable installation choice for lower-traffic areas such as bedrooms, family rooms and guest rooms.
Discuss With Your Installer:
Olefin (polypropylene) carpets are a budget-friendly choice for your carpet installation project. They offer excellent moisture resistance and are a popular option for basements, rental spaces and other low-traffic and moisture-prone areas at an affordable carpet installation cost.
Discuss With Your Installer:
Material isn’t the only thing that matters for your carpet; the style of the carpet is equally important. Here’s what you should know:
Woven yarn loops sheared at the ends allow for a softer, plush feel ideal for bedroom carpet installation or other low-traffic areas where comfort is a priority.
Tightly woven yarn loops result in a firmer, more resilient option that stands up well in hallways, entrances and stairs. Less warm and soft than cut pile.
A combination of cut and loop piles arranged to form a pattern. A versatile 'middle ground' in plushness and durability, great for most parts of the home.
Your best carpet installation options, as well as the underpadding, will depend on the room where you want carpeting installed.
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FOR EACH ROOM :
Choose medium- to high-pile carpet installation options that offer greater softness, warmth and sound absorption to maximize comfort & quiet.
Choose low- to medium-pile carpet installation options that allow for good traction and safety.
Choose medium-pile carpet installation options for a balance of high-traffic durability with comfort and sound absorption.
Choose low-pile carpet installation options that allow for easier cleaning and drying in the event of a spill or a flood.
