From Nylon, Olefin, Polyester & wool face fibers/yarns, there is a product that fits a wide range of settings & budgets. According to The Carpet and Rug Institute carpet accounts for 48% of the total US flooring market. Broadloom carpet can be installed using adhesive or stretched in over padding. Broadloom carpet is also used to make area rugs & is primarily used when carpeting stairs. Carpet in 6’ widths or wider is considered broadloom. Benefits of Broadloom Carpet Budget Friendly With the introduction of synthetic yarns & broadloom tufting machines in the early 1950’s, manufacturers were able to mass produce high quality, yet affordably priced goods. The explosive growth of carpet sales that following in the US allowed for further development of tufting machines & fibers, resulting in both higher quality & less expensive carpet. Versatility Because of the various yarns available today, along with dye techniques, broadloom carpet is extremely versatile when it comes to color possibilities & durability. For example, nylon fiber is abrasion-resistant, durable & has excellent colorfastness. Olefin fiber resists fading & generates low levels of static electricity, while natural fibers such as wool reduces soil visibility & is largely self-extinguishing when burned. Easy Cleaning & Care Regular vacuuming & periodic deep cleaning are the basic guidelines for carpet cleaning. This can offer an advantage when compared to some hard surface floors such as VCT, which needs to be regularly buffed, stripped & re-waxed.
