The time has finally come to replace the carpet in your home or office, but there are so many option on the market. Do you choose carpet tiles or broadloom carpet? Why should you choose broadloom carpet over other options? When choosing carpet for your home, the process can be very confusing. There are so many different types of carpet, as well as styles, colors, patterns, thicknesses, sizes and materials to choose from that the decision can feel overwhelming.

If you are a person with little experience in the carpet world, you may not know what to look for and deciphering the differences between different carpet options can be confusing. That's why the experts at Georgia Carpet are here to help explain why you might want to choose broadloom carpet for your home. We know that purchasing carpet is a big commitment, not only for financial reasons, but also because once it is chosen you and your family have to live with it for years to come. This makes the decision very stressful for a lot of homeowners and families.

Wall-to-Wall Luxury

One type of carpet that is very luxurious looking and a popular choice is broadloom carpet. Broadloom is a type of carpet that is woven on a wide loom, so it's all one single piece without any breaks or seams. Broadloom is a great choice for carpet because it is a very wide carpet that can go from wall-to-wall in a large room. Wondering how wide is broadloom carpet? A roll of broadloom carpet is typically 12 feet wide, but it can also be made in varying widths, like 13 feet 2 inches or 13 feet 6 inches or sometimes even as wide at 15 feet wide.

Different Types of Broadloom 

The reason a lot of people choose this type of carpet is because it can stretch across the entire width of the room and then it can be cut to the length needed for the room. This is beneficial because then you do not need to create seams in the carpet, creating a more cohesive look for the room without any cut areas that can fray, snag or lift. Carpet that completely covers the floor in a space is called wall-to-wall carpet and most people agree that a plush wall-to-wall carpet has a certain look of luxury that can't be duplicated by other flooring options.

Colors and Styles for Every Space

Broadloom carpet is extremely versatile and comes in a variety of colors and styles that can fit any space. The specifics of what type of carpet you can get in broadloom form is also extensive. There is a large range of options when it comes to the material, still and even the thickness of the carpet. Broadloom carpets are made from a variety of materials, ranging from synthetic fibers to natural wool fibers. Depending on your specific needs or budget, you can pretty much find whatever you need in broadloom in terms of material, color, style and more. One important tip is to choose a good padding to go underneath the carpet in order to have great cushion and to make it comfortable on your feet.

A Beautiful Broadloom Rug

If you don't need wall-to-wall carpet, buyers can even purchase area rugs made from broadloom. This option is more cost efficient than pre-made rugs as broadloom carpet can easily be finished into an area rug, allowing you to choose the exact dimensions and style you need for your space. So if you need a rug that is 12 feet wide (or the other width options broadloom comes in), this would be a great option to turn your favorite broadloom carpet roll into a bound broadloom area rug to save some money. Custom-making your own area rug also gives more options, since it's difficult to get a pre-made rug up to 12 feet wide. Broadloom rugs can also be cut into unique shapes to fit into specific areas in your home, offering more versatility than in a pre-made rug or even carpet tiles.
