Consider Your Lifestyle

The first step in choosing the right type of carpet is to consider your lifestyle. Do you have pets or children? Are you looking for something that can withstand heavy foot traffic? Understanding your needs will help you narrow down your options. Key considerations:

• Pet-Friendly: The Pet Perfect+™ collection has LifeGuard^® spill-proof backing and stain protection.
• Kid-Friendly: Durable and stain-resistant options to handle spills and accidents.
• High-Traffic Areas: Carpets with robust durability and easy maintenance.

Focus on Technology and Features

Modern carpets come with various technologies and features that enhance their performance and longevity. At LL Flooring, we offer carpets with advanced features to suit different needs.

Choose the Right Style and Color

Carpets are available in a wide range of styles and colors, allowing you to find the perfect match for your home decor. From plush textures to sleek designs, the options are endless. Consider these tips:

• Match Your Decor: Choose a color and style that will pair well with your walls, furniture, and overall design aesthetic.
• Consider Room Use: Lighter colors can make a room feel larger, while darker colors are great for hiding stains in high-traffic areas.

Innovative Technologies in LL Flooring Carpet

R2X^® Stain & Soil Technology

Say goodbye to stains and hello to hassle-free cleaning with R2X^® Stain & Soil Technology. By chemically bonding to the fiber during manufacturing, R2X® provides long-term stain resistance that won’t wear off, even after repeated cleanings. The treatment repels liquid spills and accidents, making it easy to wipe them away before they seep deep into the carpet fibers. Additionally, R2X® is a sustainable choice, free from potentially harmful perfluorinated compounds (PFCs/PFAS).
