Flooring
Broadloom
Broadloom refers to wall-to-wall carpet woven on wide looms (typically 12 feet), installed as a continuous piece that covers entire rooms without seams or with minimal seaming. This seamless appearance creates unified, luxurious flooring that was once the pinnacle of home carpeting.
While carpet tiles have captured commercial markets, broadloom maintains its place in residential bedrooms and living spaces where seamless appearance and underfoot comfort are prioritized. Quality broadloom with proper padding provides decades of service.
