See how Stainmaster carpet performs in three real key situations:  in a real home, in a lab/testing situation and animation to show what’s happening at the fiber level of the carpet.

 Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating, often deadly disease that affects millions of people–a large and growing percentage of them children.

 Many people think type 1 diabetes can be controlled by insulin. While insulin does keep people with type 1 diabetes alive, it is NOT a cure. Aside from the daily challenges of living with type 1 diabetes, there are many severe, often fatal, complications caused by the disease.

 EACH of us can be a part of bringing about a cure. Each of us can make a real difference.

 Help support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes by purchasing a sneaker today!  Donate $1 and we will put a sneaker with your name on it on our wall and we will contribute a matching gift.  We have a goal of raising $3,000 by selling sneakers. 

 Together, we can make the cure a reality.  For more information on JDRF or the Walk on Sunday, October 3, 2010, visit www.jdrfillinois.org today!

 The function of the carpet will vary depending on what areas of the home you are covering, for instance high traffic areas such as hallways and stairs require a tighter lower pile so as to resist the crushing and matting, pattern or multicolored carpets will help in hiding the every day soiling that is unavoidable.

 The type of yarn is most important as the properties of the different synthetics will greatly affect the performance; nylon, in particular, the Stainmaster fiber; offers the durability and cleanabilty that will insure a long and happy relationship with your purchase.  Other synthetics such as olefin aka polypropylene (poor cleanability) and polyester (less durable) will not perform nearly as well as its nylon counterpart.

 Stainmaster carpets offer a wide selection of styles, many of which are represented in our Stainmaster Flooring Center. The Stainmaster Ultra and Active Life items have enhanced stain warrantees for those with active households and are often the best choice for lower level family rooms and children’s bedrooms.  A more expensive option would be a wool product. 

 Wool; the finest of carpet fibers offer superior durability and will maintain an appearance of being brand new after many years of use and cleaning. Wool being a natural fiber is the most environmentally friendly choice and is offered in a wide variety of patterns and styles to satisfy every décor. Although wool carpets are not stain resistant nor do they carry the warrantee’s of the synthetics; the comfort and beauty that are afforded are well worth strong consideration especially in highly visible areas of the home such as the main stairway.  Area rugs fabricated from wool products are also a more affordable yet stylish and durable option for any Chicago living space. 

In closing, myself and my associates welcome the opportunity to help each and every client with their particular needs and desires in order to enhance the function and beauty of your home.

“Yes, I am very satisfied.  The installation of the tile in my bedroom hallway and the adjoining bathroom was completed today, and I am very satisfied with the work.

 Greg, the tile installation professional was fantastic…His work was beautifully executed, as I requested….He was exceptionally neat during the process, and the clean-up was immaculate….I was grateful that he arrived on time and worked diligently until the job was completed. I can’t say enough about his work.

The rug installer was able to adjust the height of the rug to the height of the tile, and completed that job beautifully. He, also, was prompt, arriving first thing in the morning…a job well done.

 Tony arranged for the tile person to come when the original one, who was scheduled, could not, keeping me from being very disappointed. He answered my calls promptly and supervised with intelligence.

All in all, I would recommend Home Carpet to anyone who asks about tile and/or carpeting. ”

 Chicago, IL (March 19, 2010) – Lakeview’s Home Carpet One has been doing business since 1970 and wants to celebrate.  On May 22^nd, Home Carpet One will be throwing themselves a 40^th Birthday Party, where instead of receiving gifts they will be giving them.

 It is quite clear to understand how Home Carpet One has been in business for 40-years. “Excellent service; I would recommend Home Carpet One to my friends,” says one Internet review.  Another states, “Great job and service. We’ll be back.” “Friendly and consistent service,” a pleased customer expresses. It is easy to see customers, new and old, are giving positive feedback.

 When looking at Home Carpet One over the last 40-years, one can see they have a lot to celebrate. The store has occupied the same Lakeview location at 3071 N. Lincoln Ave. and has expanded from one building to four. Starting the business with only two employees, the retailer has grown to 35, with one-third of the staff having worked there 15-years or more. Anyone would be impressed looking at the Home Carpet One showroom, which now covers an expansive 10,000 sf, to find out it began at a modest 2,500 sf.

 While the sales are a way of promoting the 40^th anniversary, they are also taking place in order for Home Carpet One to thank their customers for the business and support over the last 40-years, as well as driving new customers into the store. Bruce, a Home Carpet One employee for 25-years states, “I appreciate the opportunity to share this terrific offer with our long term friends and customers and the many new neighbors we will meet.” The retailer has the widest selection of tile, natural stone, hardwoods, bamboo, cork and more in Chicago. Home Carpet One promotes their “Beautiful Guarantee” where on the majority of products they sell, if the customer is not happy with their flooring selection, they will take it out and replace it at no charge. They are also the only authorized Stainmaster Flooring Center in Chicago, which allows them to offer the best warranty in the business.

 Home Carpet One has been a family owned business since 1970 and joined Carpet One in 1987. In 2005, Home Carpet One was recognized as the Retailer of the Year by the Chicago Floor Covering Association. 2006 marked the launch of www.homecarpet1.com where customers can browse flooring products, read reviews and blogs, and have questions answered by a sales person.

Wool carpets provide the ultimate luxury for your Chicago pets, while keeping them safe and healthy.  The natural benefits or wool are especially noteworthy for older pets and those with compromised immune systems.  Wool is a non-allergenic fiber that does not promote the growth of bacteria, dust mites or give off harmful emissions, making it a safe and healthy choice for your carpet in Chicago.  Since wool actually absorbs indoor air contaminants, the air a pet breathes is cleaner and safer than it would be without wool. 

Aside from promoting good health, wool carpet feels good.  The luxurious softness and warmth makes it incredibly comfortable.  That’s because all the qualities that make wool coats, sweaters, hats and scarves so wonderful to wear are built right into the carpet.  The natural bulk and resilience of wool provides an exceptional layer of under-paw comfort and provides the perfect place for your Chicago pet to curl up and enjoy.

 For customers with pets that shed, a wool carpet that matches the pet’s hair can help keep the floor looking clean.  Although it may sound silly, this beauty secret can lessen the need for extra vacuuming of your Chicago carpet. 

 The bottom line is that wool carpet is an excellent solution for any Chicago pet owner.  Like any carpet, the best way to care for wool carpeting in Chicago is through proper vacuuming and getting to problem areas quickly.  You will find a wide assortment of in-stock and special order wool carpets at Home Carpet One in Lakeview.
