I AM REPLACING CARPET IN MY HOME. ITS JUST MY WIFE AND ME. WE WANT GOOD CARPET, BUT I AM ALSO INTERESTED IN GETTING A GOOD VALUE. A BALANCE BETWEEN QUALITY AND PRICE. CAN SOMEONE HELP WITH GUIDELINES OR SUGGESTIONS ON CHOSING CARPET? THANK YOU
You generally get what you pay for of course. Look for wear and stain blocker warranties. Longer warranties is a better carpet. Don t buy the notion of the big brand stain blockers are better, They are all the same. You don t pay for the advertising dollars of the no name stain blocker. Thickness in carpet only counts in the amount of yarns per square inch . Thickness in tallness do not always make a better carpet. Its the twists per thread length that make the better carpet. The actual truth is the shorter, the tighter ( twists) the better the carpet.And if the twists are heat set in. Ask a salesperson about this. If they know or can look it up then talk more with them. If they baulk or don t know, you walk , they don t know carpet. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL
Price will tell you the quality. But in general look how thick it is. Thin carpets are usually not the best quality.
