Do You Offer Padding and Cushion Options?

There are several types of cushion available to support your carpet

REBOND: This is the industry workhorse. Most carpet is installed over rebond padding. Generally rebond comes in a density from 3# to 8#, which signifies how firm the cushion is. Most of our installations are over 8 ½# Rebond cushion. We have tried rebond cushion from several manufacturers and have found CARPENTER CO. cushion to be superior in quality and consistency.

STAINMASTER: brands and cushions, also made by Carpenter, that have a moisture barrier and odor protection built in. This pad is is about 50% more costly than the standard rebond but is beneficial in some instances.

HIGH DENSITY FOAM: Made from urethane foam, this cushion is more homogeneous in look and consistency. Usually gives a firmer feel to your carpet. Slightly better quality than rebond.

WOOL CUSHION: Made with no chemicals. Is denser than the rebonds and slightly inconsistent. Is truly a GREEN cushion.
FIBER: Used mainly for commercial installations. Is denser than residential cushions. Sometimes will be used under berber carpet.

“I decided to use Mertel Carpets because their price was competitive. They did the carpeting for our entire house and everything turned out very well. They were very professional and helpful, from the person who set up the appointment to the installers.”
