Quality carpet in Lake Grove, NY

With tens of thousands of styles and colors to choose from, carpet is one of the most versatile flooring solutions available. It’s also unique in that it is warm, soft, and comforting⁠—perfect for bedrooms and living rooms. Carpet remains unmatched by any hard-surface flooring.

Carpet Types

Different Types of Carpet

  • Cut pile carpet is the most popular type, featuring sheared fiber strands with exposed ends. It’s available in a variety of lengths and thicknesses, so you’ll have a range of options regardless of what you’re specifically looking for. The twist of individual strands in cut pile is key when making a decision⁠—tighter, heavier twist will add texture and durability to your carpet to help it stand up to matting and crushing.

  • Loop pile, on the other hand, features un-sheared loops of fiber that not only add extra durability but also create opportunities for pattern and texture. Tight, heavily twisted loops offer more resistance to matting and crushing. One potential issue to watch out for when choosing looped pile is pulled out loops, which, when snagged, can cause damage to your carpet.

  • Cut & Loop pile combines the previous two types of carpet. Having both sheared and un-sheared fibers leads to patterned surfaces and artistic use of texture. No single type of carpet is better than the others⁠—your choice will largely come down to personal design preference.

Care & maintenance

While our carpet is built with stain-resistant technology, it’s still susceptible to life and the daily wear that comes with it! Follow these simple care tips to keep your carpet looking and feeling its best for years!

Easy Care

Carpet Care & Maintenance

Keep your carpet looking fresh and feeling soft with simple, everyday care. From regular cleaning to handling spills, a few easy steps can help maintain its beauty, comfort, and durability for years to come.

Daily Care

Maintain your carpet’s look by removing outdoor shoes, vacuuming regularly to eliminate dirt and allergens, and using a quality carpet pad for added comfort and support.

Spills & Stains

Act quickly when spills happen—gently blot the area and use manufacturer-approved cleaners if needed. Most carpets are stain-resistant, but quick care helps prevent lasting damage.

Deep Cleaning

Schedule a deep clean once or twice a year, especially in high-traffic areas. Professional cleaning or proper shampooing helps restore freshness and extend your carpet’s lifespan.

Carpet Your World is proud to offer several nylon and polyester carpet styles by Shaw Floors that feature the brand’s R2X Stain and Soil Resistance System. You’ll find this feature in Bellera, for example. It’s capable of repelling liquids and other staining materials, covering the entirety of each carpet fiber. R2X stands apart from the competition because the protection it provides is more than just surface-level. We also offer carpets with Shaw’s LifeGuard spill-proof backing for another layer of protection!

Carpet padding is a worthwhile investment. Placed underneath your carpet, it adds a little extra cushion and comfort as well as noise insulation. It ranges in thickness.
