I just got back from the warehouse sale put on by Shaw Flooring. They showcase some of their newer products as well as ones that will be introduced in 2009. It was great going to the warehouse. I got to see some of their carpet rollers (which are huge) as well as their warehouse facility. It is really a magnificent place and they work very efficently. As far as carpeting trends, it seems that earth tones (beige, browns, taupes, creams, etc) are going to be big in 2009. As far as the texture, tip shear and looped carpet look like they are going to be huge. They also showcased many of their other floor coverings including hardwood floors and carpet tile, as well as ceramic tiles. I am a big fan of Shaw carpet because they always seem to be the trend setters rather than the followers. As always, you can find more information about cheap and discount carpet at Carpet Depot or stop in to see our inventory including our discount carpet remnants.

You may remember indoor/outdoor carpet as “Astro Turf” or artificial rubbery, grassy looking products that looked and felt cheap, but indoor/outdoor carpet today is a far cry from what it was. Indoor/outdoor carpeting now comes in a variety of fibers, including nylon, rubber and olefin as well as different textures (such as the grassy feel or Berber). There are also hundreds of color choices for indoor/outdoor carpet, although the most popular ones are colors that are similar to ones found in nature.

Indoor/outdoor carpet can be installed not only over concrete, but also over wood, asphalt, marble, and almost any type of floor covering you can think of. It is great around pool decks and other high traffic areas, especially where children are involved. Indoor/outdoor carpet was originally created as a flooring alternative that could withstand harsh, inclement weather, but has evolved as a floor covering genre for any areas where durability is more important than appearances, such as in a school, basement or child’s play-room.

Make sure to discuss with your floor covering specialist about exactly where your indoor/outdoor carpet will be placed and over what conditions, this will allow them to find the floor covering that best suits your needs. Carpet Depot in Phoenix, Arizona carries many styles and brands of indoor/outdoor carpet as well as other discount carpet products and cheap carpet remnants. They have floor covering specialists waiting to assist you.

Carpet remnants are perfect for smaller floor covering jobs. If you need to carpet one room it might be more cost efficient to look at discount carpet remnants. Carpet remnants are usually made from the short piece of carpet left over from a roll that has been installed. The remnant is then measured, priced and rolled for easy handling. Carpet remnants are also great for making area rugs.

Sometimes an area just screams for a carpet remnant rug as opposed to an oriental or pricey patterned wool rug. A carpet remnant should be bound in order to make a nice area rug. This is a special when matching yarn is sewn over the edge of a remnant to protect from fraying and to create a finished look for the area rug. Many people also choose carpet remnants to carpet the interior of their vans, motor homes, boats and RV’s.

Remnants come in all sizes, colors, textures and styles. Carpet remnants can be created from almost any brand of carpet including Mohawk Carpet, Shaw Flooring, and much more. Carpet Depot in Arizona has the largest selection of carpet remnants in the greater Phoenix and Scottsdale, AZ area with two convenient valley locations to serve its customers.
