Carpet can be one of the easiest ways to personalize an environment - its color can be a neutral foundation "in the background," or it can be a vibrant focal point. At the Maguire's showroom, you'll find a selection of carpets from the top leading manufacturers in the world, bringing you the widest, most exclusive selection available.

Choosing a Carpet
When deciding what carpet to buy for your home, there are a few factors that you should consider.

• Color: In general, darker shades create a dramatic effect, while lighter shades create a sense of spaciousness.

• Style: There are three basic carpet constructions: cut pile, loop pile and cut & loop pile. When making your selection, ask your Maguire's expert what style will work best in the area you wish to have the carpet installed.

• Texture: The texture of carpet allows you to express your personality and lifestyle. A heavily textured carpet will also help hide foot prints.

• Density: Density is how tightly each fiber is stitched together. To avoid a crushed and matted appearance, choose a carpet with high density.

The type of fiber used in your carpet will help determine its appearance and performance. Synthetic fibers provide brilliant colors, easy maintenance, softness and outstanding value. Natural fibers provide soft, low luster colors, long term performance and other aesthetic qualities

Texture is created by the size of the yarns, the twist of the yarns and the surface structure of the finished carpet. Most carpet originally is constructed in a loop pile surface.
