Our experienced and professional flooring staff will help you find the carpet that is right for you and your lifestyle.  They will assist you with picking the right carpet pad and help setup carpet installation.

When choosing carpet for your home it is as important to consider the quality as it is the style and color. To judge the construction and durability of carpet it is important to consider the type of fiber, twist, pile density and backing.

Carpet cushion is also very important. Cushion is there to absorb foot traffic pressure which creates a softer walk as well as maximizing the durability, comfort and beauty retention of your carpet. We believe you should choose a cushion that is firm, dense and resilient. At Star we offer a variety of cushions to fit your needs. Our sales assistants can help educate you on which cushion would be best for your needs.

Carpet Styles

Berber Carpet - Durable, stylist and fuctional

A loop-pile carpet that offers great durability, a full comfortable texture and a casual, informal look. Often, these carpets incorporate flecks of color that contrast with the primary hue. The term Berber has expanded to include many level and multi-level loop carpet styles.

Texture Carpet - Great for a wall to wall casual look

This is a very popular cut pile carpet that has alternating twists of yarn often times creating a tonal apparance.  The yarn is given more of a crimp that yields a textured look.  This style of carpet usually does a good job of hiding footprints and vacuum marks, but keep in mind that NO carpet can completely hide these.  Textured carpets are great for all areas of the home and is ideal for families with active lifestyles.  The texture style is available in a broud variety of colors and densities.
