About Us

The Carpet Plaza is not an e-commerce site. It is not a flooring gallery filled with pictures. It is an informative and elucidative endeavor. Its intention is to provide those who are looking for new flooring, particularly carpeting, with advice, tips, and trends to help them make their choice.

The great thing about the carpeting industry today is its diversity. Having been around for several decades, top carpet manufacturers can capable of churning out every style, cut, texture, and composition imaginable. Looking for a tiger print carpet made with environmentally friendly recycled fibers? Seek a fire-retardant rug with a Chicago Bears emblem? Do you just need that bamboo rug which resists staining? All these things are available on the market today.

This is a double edged sword, however. It is fantastic that we live in time of such opportunity and choice. But, too many options can inhibit the decision making process, rendering it laborious and tedious. To facilitate this process we have provided practical pros and cons of different types of flooring in relation to carpet.

Carpet has a set of its own unique benefits that other floor types simply do not possess. By underscoring these we make clear what a consumer will and will not receive if they decide to purchase carpeting.
For instance, no other flooring will ever be as soft as carpet is. This is an inherent characteristic of carpeting. Because it is made of anything from cotton to velvet to synthetic fibers the tactile experience is unrivaled. Naturally, hardwood, tile, cork, and laminate floor, to name a few other popular flooring choices, have unforgiving and rigid surfaces.

Another benefit carpeting boasts is its easy installation and simple removal. For, laying in or prying up hardwood or tile can be taxing on both the wallet and the body. Carpet usually comes right up by hand once a series of staples are removed.

In short, the Carpet Plaza hopes that when you leave our site you are better informed and closer to enjoying your new floor than before you came! Good luck to you!
