SMART Carpet and Flooring Encourages Homeowners to Celebrate Spring and Enhance Their Outdoor Spaces with Durable, Resilient and Attractive Indoor/Outdoor Carpet

MANASQUAN, N.J., April 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- With the icy grip of winter finally beginning to loosen, holiday cookouts, parties and lazy afternoons by the pool are just around the corner. SMART Carpet and Flooring (http://www.smartcarpet.com), the mobile showroom and mill-direct buying service, believes there's no better time than now to think about rejuvenating a neglected patio, sunroom, porch or poolside area. For its unbeatable combination of versatility, resilience and strength, indoor/outdoor carpet fits that bill.

The original outdoor carpet material was Astroturf, engineered as an artificial, low-maintenance grass substitute. Though still a popular synthetic turf choice, outdoor flooring options have evolved tremendously over the years. Today, homeowners interested in a carpet-like material for their outdoor spaces have a variety of choices in the form of indoor/outdoor carpet, which is all but indistinguishable from ordinary carpet.

Indoor/outdoor carpet opens up a host of design possibilities not usually available with exterior spaces. SMART Carpet and Flooring offers the complete selection of Shaw Floors® carpeting, which includes more than two dozen color and pattern choices: http://shawfloors.com/about-shaw/indoor-outdoor-carpet. From an aesthetic point of view, the perfect indoor/outdoor carpet has a way of transforming an otherwise drab patio or sunroom into a space that's warm, cozy and inviting.

As a flooring choice, quality indoor/outdoor carpet is also safer than wood or stone. Parents can worry less about their children falling on carpet as opposed to an unyielding surface. For adults, walking on carpet is much easier on joints over the long term.

Care and cleaning of indoor/outdoor carpet is relatively simple. Regular vacuuming is important, especially in those areas with the highest foot traffic. If the carpet is in a high-moisture environment, then moisture retention can be an issue; indoor/outdoor carpets are resistant to mold and mildew, but not impervious. A marine backing layer can prevent these problems before they occur and is a wise choice where water is a known factor, such as near a pool.

Stains are rarely a concern with indoor/outdoor carpet; oil is the only substance that homeowners need worry about. Even then, a thorough scrub with dish detergent followed by rinsing and drying of the fibers is typically adequate to remove oily residue and stains.

SMART Carpet and Flooring is busily rewriting the rulebook on how consumers shop for and buy carpet. In New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, residential and commercial customers can make a single phone call and schedule a visit from a mobile showroom salesperson. The company offers free, no-obligation estimates, and consumers can choose from a selection of more than 4,000 styles and colors, representing the top brands in the carpet and flooring industry. SMART Carpet believes that the best way to shop for home products is from within the home, as this can eliminate surprises.

Beyond the obvious advantages of in-home shopping for carpet and flooring, SMART Carpet also provides significant cost savings over store-based competitors. Without the overhead of a traditional storeroom, the company can pass hefty savings on to the consumer. Likewise, buying mill-direct further trims many of the costs normally associated with buying carpet and flooring. In fact, SMART Carpet boasts that consumers can save up to 50% off regular store prices.
