What counts when your are grading a carpet.

What counts when your are grading a carpet.

Most people do not shop for carpet on a regular basic.  So it can be hard to know what makes one carpet better than another.  We see many people judge a carpet solely on the about of fiber the carpeting contains.   The weight of the carpeting is only a variable to consider.  There are many well constructed 40 oz nylon carpets that will out perform a 80 oz polyester carpet.   Many time the 80 oz polyester carpet will be cheaper than the 40 oz nylon.  This can be hard for the average consumer to understand.  The fact is that what makes the carpet is far more than yarn content.

The construction of the carpet is critical to the way the carpeting will preform.  As well as the type yarn used to make the carpet.  Many people overlook these most important variables to the overall thickness of the carpet.  It is good to consider the twist factors in the yarn deniers, the density of carpet, the gauge of the stitch, the quality of the carpet backing, the type of carpet stain resistance, the uniqueness of the styling, to how clean the top finish looks.  There are a multitude of things to consider. Some of these thing may not be important to you but it is nice to understand the products that you may be purchasing.  Of course you do not want to go overboard in all the details, but your salesperson should be able to get you the correct explanation to what drives the cost of a carpet product.  For that correct information stop by Crystal Carpets and see why we are Wilmington, N.C. expert choice for all types of flooring.
