carpeting

Wall-to-wall textile

Carpeting is carpet material or installed carpet as a collective substance, emphasizing coverage rather than individual rugs: wall-to-wall carpeting, the office has new carpeting throughout.

The word treats carpet as a continuous medium.

Carpeting also serves as the present participle of carpet—both the literal act of installing carpet and the figurative sense of scolding: The boss is carpeting him right now.
