Custom designed bordered rug fabricated for a Greenville customer

Rug with custom border 02Earlier this month we had the pleasure of helping a customer design a unique rug for her living room.  The new rug was part of her home renovation in anticipation of her son getting married next year and all of the entertaining of friends and family that goes along with such an occasion.  After bringing into McAbee’s Custom Carpet her furniture fabrics, we were able to pull some carpet samples for her to take home and view in the room with her home lighting. The customer expressed that she would also like for the rug to have a border of another material that complemented her fabrics but did not want an overall look of an oriental rug.

Rug with custom border 01The carpet materials that were chosen were not sold together as a suggested field material and border, but we chose them as the colors matched and together they made for a beautiful compilation.  Once the ordered materials arrive at McAbee’s Custom Carpet, the rug is fabricated with the border, the edge finished with binding, and a felt pad is cut to cushion underneath.  The customer was thrilled with this one of a kind finished product!

Carpet padding is more important than you might think

Most people will never give the underlying padding that accompanies a carpet or rug much thought at all, when in fact, it is one of the most important elements in any successful install!

Carpet padding (also called carpet cushion) is the very foundation that your carpet or rug installation rests upon, and just like your home, a poor foundation can and likely will affect the integrity.

What is the purpose of carpet padding? The first thing that comes to mind is that it is for comfort, which is partially true in some situations but primarily, the pad will provide the needed cushion to help absorb the impact that can cause synthetic latex to break down, the backings to stretch and delamination (the separation of the primary backing from the secondary backing) in addition to unnecessary stress on the face fiber.

The life of the carpet installation can be extended dramatically with the careful paring of carpet and carpet pad. A little known fact is that it is the thickest padding that may shorten the life of your carpet!

Here at McAbee’s Custom Carpet, the pad is every bit as important as the carpet or rug itself. We will take into consideration the composition of the carpet and provide the proper padding for the job, whether it calls for urethane foam padding, waffle rubber padding, flat rubber padding, fiber padding or bonded urethane padding and the thickness needed.

Beware of other carpet and rug sales and installation companies which will use carpet padding that is not designed for the job, simply because they have a large stockpile of it. There is no one-size-fits-all solution in carpet padding!

If you would like to discuss carpet or carpet padding for your next project, please give us a call or use our contact form to arrange a consultation. We are your Greenville and Upstate source for the best carpet padding and carpet cushion available!

Do it right, the first time!

Our new web site is nearing finalization!

We have finalized the structure of the McAbee’s Custom Carpet website structure!

Our most popular areas of the site are in the main navigation bar, and subcategories have been added as “dropdowns”. For example, while selecting “Products” would take you to a page describing our product offerings, hovering over the “Products” link will present a list of a few of our most requested manufacturers such as Masland, Shaw, Robertex, Mohawk and the like, selecting those items would direct you to the corresponding page.

Obviously, if you are here today, you are seeing links and pages without much content, but please, check back in a a few days to see how we progress.

Your input is very important to us! In the same way we want to help design, make and install your dream rug, we also want to a website that will be a pleasure for you to use, so please, if you would, share your opinions with us! You can reply to this posting or use our contact form, or do it the old fashioned way and pick up the phone and call us.

Thanks to Homeland Secure IT for their assistance and expertise with the changeover site to the easy-to-manage WordPress from the antiquated layout.

Thank you for your patience while we remodel.
