We are a one-stop-shop for all residential and commercial flooring materials, and we offer installation services. Our showrooms are located in La Grange and Glen Ellyn, Illinois. In addition, we celebrated our 100th anniversary in 2020, a testament to the quality of our products and services.

Fibers


Long-time favorite nylon and newcomer triexta is the best carpet fibers for well-used spaces in your home. Nylon is 'tops' for resilience, or the ability to bounce back after compression. In addition, nylon is treated for stain resistance in the factory, while triexta is naturally stain resistant.

Pile


You choose between looped fibers or fibers that are cut at the tips of the loops. Short loop pile carpeting is easiest to clean because dirt stays close to the surface. Softer cut pile styles feature fibers that have been twisted for added durability.

Color


Not surprisingly, dark brown carpeting does the best job at hiding dirt. Alternatives are dark green, dark blue, or taupe, which is a dark gray-brown color. In addition, Karastan is well-known for its unique patterns and colorations. This colorful, patterned carpeting conceals dirt, too.

Pet-friendly brands


Mohawk SmartStrand is a type of carpeting that is made with triexta. It's just one of the brands that are backed by a pet-friendly warranty. In addition, a floor covering designed with pets in mind is very stain resistant, which means it works well in a high-traffic area.
