Residential carpet flooring uses completely different fiber construction, padding systems, and installation methods compared to commercial carpet. Home carpets prioritize comfort, softness, and visual appeal, while commercial options focus purely on durability and easy maintenance.
For Smithtown homes, residential carpet features deeper pile heights, softer fibers like premium nylon or polyester, and thicker padding for maximum comfort underfoot. The backing materials are specifically designed for residential subfloors and normal family traffic patterns.
Commercial carpet uses shorter, denser fibers, minimal padding, and backing systems designed for concrete subfloors and extremely heavy traffic. While commercial carpet lasts longer in high-traffic commercial settings, it feels uncomfortable and doesn’t provide the warmth and coziness most homeowners want in their living spaces and bedrooms.
