sunshine1 Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Does anyone know if there is someone locally selling wall to wall carpeting and if not, do you know if Home Depot does..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 They used to have a sort of industrial carpeting but not regular wall-to-wall. I've seen one house with it in 12 years but no stores that carry it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterth Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 We bought carpet and underlay at Home Depot in Guadalajara a couple of years ago. They didn't have a knee kicker so had to order one in so if some one needs one I just happen to have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cincy Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 For sixty years I lived with wall-to-wall carpeting but I would probably not consider installing any around Lakeside. Bugs, insects and other creatures getting under the carpet would concern me. Also, the amount of dust in the air, especially in the dry season would require vacuuming every day, perhaps? I guess in a high-rise apartment, carpeting would work. What I do like about wall-to-wall carpeting is soft, quieting effect. Too many hard surfaces makes these Mexican houses very echoey (sp.). Just thinking out aloud... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy2013 Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Easier to clean tiles than carpeting. First thing we did is throw out all small rugs. Right, too much dust for carpets especially if you have allergies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arroyos Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I agree. Carpets in Mexico don't work and I can't imagine wall-to-wall carpeting. Mexico is the place for tiles, and beautiful tiles at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 After 20+ years my Oriental carpets are as great as ever. They are vacuumed weekly, look great on the tile floors and this time of year at least, SOME of the floors are warm. Have not had a problem with bugs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming your Oriental carpets are "rugs". That's a good compromise for wall-to-wall carpets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine1 Posted December 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I agree regarding dust, bugs , etc but the reason I ask is for someone who is having great difficulty walking on the tile floors due to some leg issues and feels carpet would be more beneficial in their case. I guess it doesn;t have to be wall to wall, but large enough to cover large areas - wouldn;t want several small carpets as that would increase likelihood of a fall.....
