4 Things To Understand And 4 Things To Consider When Getting A Carpet
But what type of carpet is best? What are the key qualities to consider?
We’ve got some advice to help. :)
Here are four important terms to understand when selecting carpet:
Density — This refers to the closeness of the threads in the carpet. More dense carpets are typically higher quality and last longer.
Fiber — This is the material the carpet is made of. Common fibers include nylon, polyester, polypropylene, acrylics, wool, and sisal.
Pad — This is the layer underneath the carpet that serves as insulation and improves comfort. It’s usually a thin pad of foam, fiber, or rubber.
Pile — This refers to the surface of the carpet and how the tufts of fiber are looped, cut, or uncut. This is primarily a stylistic choice.
And here are four factors to consider:
Cleaning — How easy will the carpet be to clean? Opt for a stain or soil-resistant carpet to simplify clean-up.
Room — Which rooms will the carpet be installed in? Common rooms include bedrooms, living rooms, family rooms, playrooms, and dining rooms.
Pets — How pet-friendly is the carpet you’re considering? If you have pets, this is an important factor.
Underlayment — The underlayment of the carpet makes it comfortable to walk on and increases its longevity. Check with the manufacturer for the best option!
