CARPET

Cut Pile is cut or sheared off at the top, exposing the cut pile fibers and creating a carpet with soft cushioning. Their softness makes them great for bedrooms but their fibers will eventually flatten with normal use.

Loop Pile is very durable, but provides less cushioning than cut pile carpet. Closed Loop carpet is more suitable for high traffic areas because they wear well and are more mark resistant than cut pile carpets. Loop pile carpet can withstand the traffic and vacuuming from hallways and stairs.

Natural Fibers such as Wool, Seagrass and Sisal. Wool, sisal and seagrass are all made from naturally regenerating sources, making these flooring products an eco-friendly choice for your home.

• Wool remains the premier fiber in carpet construction. Wool carpeting can last a lifetime. Wool has a natural resiliency and elasticity that prevents crushing, which is why it can look great and last a lifetime.
• Seagrass is made from a variety of reedy plants, which gives it a greenish tint– but it does mellow over time into more of a khaki color. It is very durable but should not be used in moist or humid rooms. Great for a low dust or allergy-free environment and available in different weave patterns.
• Sisal is strong but prone to fading in direct sunlight and can be stained even by water. Made from the Agave plant, Sisal is identified by thin rows that are tightly woven together. Gainesville Flooring can install wall-to-wall Sisal, custom runners for your stairs or a custom sized rug.

Synthetic Fibers are highly stain resistant and durable.
