These carpet quotes will remind you why carpet is your favorite floor covering!

Carpet is a soft flooring option with an upper layer “pile” attached to a backing.

The pile is the raised surface of a fabric that consists of loops or stands or yarn and is what makes the carpet soft.

Traditionally the pile was made from wool, but since the 1900’s nylon, polyester, and polypropylene have replaced wool in many circumstances as they are a less expensive option.

In the United States, the carpet industry began in 1791 when William Sprague opened the first woven carpet mill in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

There are many different types of carpeting to meet your personal preference, such as:

Cut Pile: This includes shag carpet and is known for being durable
Loop Pile: This is a uniform and clean cut of carpet, including Berber
Cut-Loop Pile: This is a combination of the other two styles of carpet and is both pleasing to the eye and durable
