Sculpted Carpet - Where is the Best Place to Find It?

Sculpted carpet was a very popular trend in the flooring industry throughout the 80's. As Berber became more prevalent around that time, sculpted carpet began to lose some of it's luster with flooring consumers. Of course Berber has now been replaced by Frieze carpet as the trendy choice. With that being said, some flooring shoppers still prefer the look of sculpted carpet but it is very, very hard to find! Not anymore!

Beckler's keeps in stock 3-4 colors of sculpted carpet. Just give us a call at 1-800-232-5537 and let us know what color you are looking for and we can get you sample out that day (sorry, I'll try to get some pictures to add to the blog post next week!). Finding sculpted carpet used to be a chore but now those who want it have an avenue to get it. If by chance we don't have the right color, we will do our best to track down something that will work and pass along our wholesale discount carpet pricing that has made us successful since 1949.

Also, with Berber being replaced by Frieze as the current fad, keep in mind we also do keep Berber in stock (as well as a ton of Frieze and textured plush styles). Give us a call at 1-800-232-5537. We ship free samples daily all over the country and can typically save you 30-60% on carpet, carpet tile, luxury vinyl and hardwood flooring.

Berber Carpeting - Still a Popular Flooring Choice

With the popularity of Berber carpeting in the 1980's, you would think the style has slowed down. Actually, it hasn't dropped off very much. The big loop look is still very appealing to many consumers and we literally sell Berber everyday at BecklersCarpet.com.




If you're considering Berber Carpet, you will need to decide a few things.

• Do you want a solid or flecked/mixed color? The flecked is great for hiding soils.


• Can you afford to buy a Nylon/Olefin blend or all Nylon product. These two types will far outperform a traditional Olefin yarn on wear, crushing, and stain resistance,


• Do you know a very experienced installer? A good installer is very important when it come to Berber Carpeting. Seam are critical. If a poor seam is made, then loops could become frayed later on.

BecklersCarpet.com, 1-800-232-5537, has been stocking and selling Berber Carpet from many years. If you think you might be interested in looking at it for your next home project or rental property, give us a call and we will be glad to send you out a few samples to get you started! We sell all major brands as well as some of other brands that can give you a great bang for your buck.

Of course, if you live in Atlanta, Chattanooga, Birmingham, Huntsville, Knoxville or Nashville, consider a short trip to see us at our showroom in Dalton! We are open throughout the week until 6pm Eastern and even on Saturdays til 4pm. We hope to see or hear from you soon!

I'll be posting more flooring information later this week on using carpet tiles to create your own rug kit as promoted by major tile manufacturers, like Flor.

Bamboo Flooring - Looking for a Dealer?

Bamboo Flooring has become a recent hot commodity in the flooring industry. With the recent push for Eco and Green Friendly products, Bamboo floors have started gaining ground on traditional Hardwood products.

Many view Bamboo as an environmentally friendly product because it can be harvested in 3-6 years. Once the product is harvested, it can then regenerate in the same spot with little to no fertilizer.

BecklersCarpet.com in Dalton Ga (just 30 minutes from Chattanooga, an hour from Atlanta, and 2 hrs from Huntsville, Birmingham, Knoxville and Nashville!) has a great offering on Bamboo flooring. Do better understand Bamboo, you need a little information on the product's basic terms.

1. Carbonized versus Non Carbonized - Non-Carbonized has a very light and natural look. If you want a "sweeter" more honey toned color you might want to consider a carbonized Bamboo. One side effect to note is that the process to Carbonize Bamboo softens the surface of the wood by about 10% so it will be slightly more susceptible to denting and scratching.


2. Horizontal, Vertical, and Strand Woven - Horizontal and Vertical are basically the same structure but have a different grain look. Horizontal boards will have a joint spot sometimes called a "knuckle." Some consumers like this look. For those that don't, you need to look at a Vertical board design with a more traditional wood grain effect. Strand Woven Bamboo is a high end product that may cost you more than a exotic hardwood species. The bamboo for this product is sometimes harvested a little later than others and is also treated in the processing differently. By this change, it is a harder more dense wood like product. It is an excellent product but will be a significant investment versus regular horizontal or vertical boards. Also, the Strand Woven Bamboo has a slightly darker color like Carbonized boards but without the sacrifice of a softer surface.


3. Engineered versus Solid - The jury seems out on this choice. Engineered can be installed over a concrete floor, whereas solid cannot. However, some schools of thought think solid Bamboo flooring is better because it may be a more hard, dense product and can give more years of refinishing. You can't go wrong with either, however if you want a more traditional style and a better chance to add value, go with solid (in hardwood flooring solid will usually add more value than engineered because it will typically have a much longer life span due to the many refinishes the floor can have).

If you're thinking about installing a Bamboo floor give us a call at BecklersCarpet.com in Dalton, GA. We will be more than glad to discuss your needs and ship you FREE samples! Of course, if you live in Atlanta, Chattanooga, Huntsville, Birmingham, Knoxville or Nashville, we would love for you to visit us! Call us @ 1-800-232-5537 for a great deal on Bamboo!
