One of the first things consumers notice after installing their shiny new wood/stone/tile floor is how cool (as is cold) and echo-y (as in noisy) it is. And the best way to warm it up and turn down the volume is by putting a rug on top of it. Apart from our shag and patterned rugs that are custom-made-to-order, we're seeing significant growth in simple bound-only broadloom rugs. Which makes sense since carpet, especially wool carpet, is an excellent insulator keeping things warm and cozy in winter and cool and comfortable in summer. Also sound is absorbed in carpet keeping the volume at an acceptable level. We have approximately 70, that's right seven oh, seventy, broadloom styles in numerous textures and color-ways and we can cut them to virtually any size or shape of rug that you desire. We can serge them with color-coordinating yarn or bind them in cotton, linen, or leather (shown below are the available colors). We can provide our Uni-Lock Pad cut to be exactly compatible with your rug and even send the remaining broadloom scraps with your order if you choose. It's really a one-stop-shopping, full-service sort of deal.

 We know there are plenty of folks out there who have very strong opinions about what types of carpet cushion should be used. And of course, those opinions vary. Some manufacturers feel so strongly, they'll void warranties if you use a pad they don't like. Yikes! They're tough! We're not like that. Use what you want. But we do have a favorite that we recommend. Its good old rebond. 3/8" thick, 8 to 10 pound density. What's this 10lb density all about? Well, if you put a one foot cube of this stuff on a scale, it would weigh 10 lbs. Pretty clever those pad guys eh? Rebond in this density provides an excellent feel underfoot and won't 'bottom out' when walked on by some heavy footed lout. It's reasonably priced. It won't flatten out in traffic areas, won't rot or mildew, and in most cases it doesn't need to be removed should your customer choose to replace the carpet. Some manufacturers guarantee it for life. Not the life of the carpet, your customer's life. But whatever you choose, pad is something that should NOT be compromised because:
- It adds to the useful life of the carpet by reducing the impact exerted on it by up to 50%.
- An appropriate pad makes the carpet feel richer and more luxurious
- Padding significantly improves carpets acoustical properties (It's not very noisy in a carpeted room).
- It improves the carpets thermal insulation properties (it saves on energy costs by keeping things warm and cozy in the winter).
- It reduces maintenance costs. How you ask? We have no idea
