Carpet Installation Options Near You
There are essentially 2 different types of carpet fibres: natural and synthetic that can be used for carpet installation. Natural carpeting is made of 100% natural fabric, while synthetic fiber is man-made. Both types of carpet can be found in a range of pricing.
Stain resistance, durability and comfort should be your key considerations when shopping around for a new carpet. At The Home Depot you’ll find 6 different carpet fibers:
Acrylic Carpet:
A synthetic fiber designed as a replacement for wool. Acrylic lacks durability but resists mildew better and is easier to clean than wool.Nylon Carpet:
Nylon is a popular choice with homeowners because it is highly stain-resistant and durable. For those who prefer eco-friendly products, nylon carpet can also be recycled when it finally ages. The quality of nylon, however, will differ between brands. Research your options carefully and be sure your nylon carpet includes a stain resistant guarantee.Olefin Carpet:
This is an inexpensive carpet material that is useful for either indoor or outdoor. Olefin is very affordable compared to nylon and other carpet material, but not quite as durable. The fibers wear out sooner and become flattened. Olefin, however, is a popular choice for basements because it is affordable, spill resistant and mildew resistant.PET Polyester Carpet:
Polyester is a synthetic fabric with similar qualities to olefin. It is an affordable alternative to nylon, but less durable. Although polyester carpets are made of recycled material, they cannot be recycled.Triexta / SmartStrand:
SmartStrand is a relatively new synthetic fiber that claims to be even more durable than polyester. Highly stain resistant and eco-friendly, SmartStrand fiber, or triexta, is extremely durable and comfortable. Currently, SmartStrand carpeting is available through Mohawk, an industry leader in commercial and residential carpeting. You’ll find a wide selection of Mohawk EverStrand PET carpeting at The Home Depot.Wool Carpet:
A wool carpet is the most eco-friendly option. This natural fiber is durable and stain resistant, but more vulnerable to mildew than synthetic fibers like polyester or olefin. Wool carpeting also tends to be higher priced than other carpet fabrics. With proper care and regular maintenance, however, a wool carpet will last you many years.

What is the best carpet for pets or children?
- Nylon carpet or SmartStrand carpet is best suited for pets or children. Both types of carpet or durable, stain resistant and relatively easy to maintain. A wool carpet is also pet-friendly, but excessive humidity or moisture can produce mildew in wool.
What is the best carpet for bedrooms?
- When choosing carpet for your bedroom, consider carpet fabric types like wool and nylon that are typically lush and comfortable but more costly than acrylic, polyester or olefin.
- Rooms with high-foot traffic are best served with wool or nylon carpets with padding, while polyester, olefin, or acrylic are ideal for rooms with lighter foot traffic.
- Whether you are carpeting stairs, bedrooms or your basement, a carpet pad is a worthwhile investment that will prevent your carpet from slipping, while adding comfort and additional warmth.
What is the best carpet for stairs?
- A low-pile carpet with high density provides sure footing and comfort for stairs. Synthetic fabrics such as plush nylon and PET polyester are comfortable and can be stain resistant. For high traffic stairs in your home, olefin or acrylic are both affordable options and stain resistant.
Why do I need to use a carpet pad with my carpet?
- A carpet pad provides additional warmth and comfort. It also serves to keep your carpet in place. The carpet adheres to the surface of the carpet pad to prevent slipping and unseemly bulges from appearing.
- If you live in a rather busy household, a carpet pad can also provide significant noise reduction from foot traffic on above-floor levels. At The Home Depot we offer several carpet pads to choose from.
What are the different types of carpet padding?
- Foam Pad: Density is typically 2 – 5 lbs.
- Frothed Foam Pad: Density is typically 12 lbs or more for durability.
- Rebond Pad: Typically 6 – 10 lbs density. If durability is important to you, consider a minimum of 6 lb density.
- Slab Rubber Pad: Usually comes in 18-22lbs. I prefer 21lbs+ for durability or close to 100 ounces.
- Synthetic Fiber Pad: Rated in either ounces or pounds. A minimum of 30 - 40 oz is the equivalent of 6 - 7.5 lbs density.
- Waffle Rubber Pad: Available ranging between 64 - 90 oz in density, which is closer to 8 -10 lb density.
