Anderson Tuftex Trace Broadloom Carpet

Soft underfoot, warm in winter, and quiet in a busy house, broadloom carpet earns its place in bedrooms and lower levels, as long as you match the construction to the traffic.

In simple terms: Anderson Tuftex Trace is traditional wall-to-wall carpet, installed over an underpad for comfort and sound control. It is a soft, warm choice for bedrooms, stairs, and living spaces, and we install it in-house.

Here is what matters with this one. It is a patterned carpet, where the construction builds a repeating design into the pile rather than printing it on. Patterned carpet hides soil and footprints well and brings a finished, designed look to a room. This one runs on nylon, the fiber to choose when durability matters. Nylon stands up to traffic and repeated cleaning better than polyester, making it a sound pick for stairs and main living areas. It is built on a LifeGuard waterproof backing, a moisture barrier that keeps spills and pet accidents from reaching the pad and subfloor underneath, which makes carpet far more forgiving in a real household. Its 65 oz per square yard face weight is on the dense, substantial end, so it feels thick and full underfoot. The 12-foot roll width means fewer seams across a room, and we place the ones you do need where they show least. It is made in the USA. Colours in the range include Adriatic, Boardwalk, Canyon, Driftwood, Finial, and Halo.

Broadloom is at its best in bedrooms, living and family rooms, stairs, hallways, and finished basements, the rooms where warmth, softness, and sound control matter. It is the one floor that makes a staircase quieter and safer underfoot. The one place to avoid carpet is a wet room like a bathroom or laundry.

Most broadloom installs by the stretch-in method, and the cushion underneath matters as much as the carpet. Our own crew, employees rather than subcontractors, tacks down perimeter strips, lays a quality carpet underpad, then power-stretches the carpet tight and heat-seams any joins so they disappear. A properly stretched floor over the right pad is what keeps carpet looking good and feeling soft for years. Browse our projects to see our work.

Decision line: Trace is built for real use, the carpet to choose for stairs, family rooms, and high-traffic areas that still need to feel soft.

Carpet colour and texture read very differently across a full room than in a small sample, so it is worth seeing Trace in person at either store. Contact us to check stock, browse the wider broadloom carpet range, or compare it with modular carpet tile. See the wider Anderson Tuftex range too.
