Selecting Carpet That Best Suits Your Lifestyle
Whenever you select carpet for your home make sure you consider many aesthetic as well as technical areas. You will find over hundreds of thousands styles and colors being released into the market every year, choosing the right carpet to match your needs can be a very daunting task indeed.
Carpets are available in several different textures, materials, colors, and designs - which will best suit virtually any interior design that you can imagine. The combination of different textures and colors will complement the look of both formal and casual ambience, while helping to compliment to the overall room designs.
You should also consider the amount of traffic that the carpet can withstand and the where you are going to use it before selecting any carpet. The construction and the texture are both key aspects when you select a carpet for a specified area and use.
You get carpets in different materials and nylon, polyester, and olefin are the mostly widely used fibers with carpet manufacturing, with each one having qualities that make themselves different with their specific applications and uses. Nylon is soft and resilient, which makes it great for any room in your home, including those areas that have a high level of traffic.
Polyester features include its soft "hand", inherent and stain resistance, and ability to produce bright colors. Other features include good abrasion resistance, fade resistance, and clean ability.
Olefin (polypropylene) is used where resistance to sunlight fading and chemicals is more important than durability to traffic. Olefin is only available as a solution dyed BCF fiber, is colorfast, resists fading, generates low levels of static electricity and is resistant to acid-based stains.
You can find carpet styles like plush or Berber construction. The berber type of carpets are well constructed with a continuous level loop, while plush carpet is constructed of loops that have been sheared, which results in the strands standing upright.
Berber construction carpets tend to not crush or mat as much, due to their level loops. They are however harder underfoot to feel, not as soft to sit on or lay down on, and moreover they can easily get damaged by pets with long nails. Berber carpets are well suited for high traffic areas.
If you are looking for a carpet with low pile and low crushing... selecting nylon fiber paired with a tight low pile construction is recommended.
The life of a carpet is anywhere between 5 - 30 years, depending on the fiber, wear and how often you vacuum and clean it. Most all carpet warranties will require the installation of new carpet padding as well at the time of installation in order for the warranty to become valid.
