One of the first choices to make when deciding on what
carpet to buy is the choice between tufted and woven constructions. Most
carpets are tufted, consisting of rows of machine-punched yarns held together
by adhesive and a backing. They generally last between five and seven years;
you will pay significantly more for a higher quality.
Identifying styles of piles and yarns that make up a
carpet becomes easy when you see samples up close. As you shop, take the
opportunity to ask questions, read labels, and find out how to install and
maintain the carpet you purchased. Bear in mind that carpet is often priced per
square yard, not square foot. Pay extra attention to a carpet sample, the color
might differ slightly from what you may eventually purchase.
Installation does not require any stress, but be sure
to use proper padding when necessary. To make sure carpet stays put and the
seams are concealed, leave the job for professionals. In case of maintenance,
check the manufacturer’s instructions.
Cleaning methods vary, from fiber to
hand-woven; a weekly use of vacuum with proper airing keeps many carpets
looking their best.
Carpeting provides a safe, comfortable spot for
children to play and may even reduce the risk of injury during a fall. Nothing
compares to the soft, luxurious feeling of carpet under your feet. However, the
wrong carpet may wear out quickly, fade or show stains that stubbornly resist
your best cleaning efforts.
Protect your investment and choose the best carpeting
for your home, there is no substitute in terms of absorption, warmth and
overall comfort.
