Wood Flooring – Carpette Multi Design

Types of Wood Flooring

Discover two modern and versatile flooring solutions.

Solid Hardwood

Solid hardwood planks are made from a single piece of wood that is either air-dried or kiln-dried before being milled. Depending on the desired appearance, the lumber can be flat-sawn, quarter-sawn, or rift-sawn. These planks are typically produced in a ¾" thickness with tongue-and-groove edges.

Solid hardwood is not recommended for basements or condominiums due to higher humidity levels, which can cause the boards to warp or cup. In winter, dry indoor air often creates gaps of about ⅛" between boards, which naturally close during the summer as humidity rises. To minimize issues, a maximum board width of 5" and an indoor humidity level between 37% and 50% are recommended.

Engineered Hardwood

Engineered hardwood is made from multiple layers of wood bonded together in a plank format. The top layer, called the wear layer or veneer, is the visible hardwood surface once the floor is installed, bonded to a stable core beneath it.

Its dimensional stability comes from alternating the grain direction of each layer at 90° angles. This cross-ply construction allows engineered hardwood to be installed over nearly any surface, including basements and condominiums. Because of its versatility and stability, it is the most widely used hardwood flooring product worldwide.

Nos types de matériaux

Plus de 8 types de matériaux pour trouver le style parfait.

Wool

The most common natural carpet fiber.
A thick, warm material ideal for area rugs.
Excellent durability and resilience: it retains its original texture over time.
Naturally flame-resistant and scratch-resistant.
Easy to clean and maintain (though not as low-maintenance as synthetic fibers).

Acrylic

A widely used synthetic fiber that imitates the look and feel of wool.
Soft, warm, and suitable for area rugs.
Good durability and color retention.
Resistant to fading, moths, and mildew.
Easier to maintain than wool, though not as durable as nylon.

Nylon

The most durable of all synthetic carpet fibers.
Exceptional color and texture retention.
Easy to clean, though dirt may be more visible than on some other fibers.

Sisal & Natural Fibers

Distinctive, textured appearance.
Available in natural, earthy tones.
Woven patterns are typically subtle and refined.

Loop Pile Carpet

Made from uncut looped fibers of uniform height.
The most common carpet construction.
Available in a wide range of loop lengths, from very short to very long.
Highly durable for high-traffic areas.
Easy to clean.
Stains and spills tend to remain on the surface for quicker cleanup.

Cut Pile Carpet

Created by cutting the tops of looped fibers.
Cleaner, more refined look compared to loop pile.
Available in a wide variety of textures and materials.

Long-Pile Carpet (Shag & Similar)

Woven or tufted using more loosely spun yarn.
Features long cut or looped fibers.
Dust and debris are more visible than on short-pile carpets.
Requires frequent vacuuming.

Plush Carpet

A dense, cut-pile carpet with a very soft, velvety feel.
Tightly woven for a luxurious, uniform finish.
Footprints and vacuum marks may appear on the surface.
