What to consider when buying new carpet-Consider higher density over the amount or weight of the face yarn. This would mean more face yarn with less pile height. -Avoid blends - Blends might offer the best of both worlds in garments but not on floor coverings. -Avoid installing carpet in bathrooms and kitchens. -Read the "WEAR WARRANTY" carefully. Most ware warranties are for the reduction of faceyarn. They have nothing to do with the way the carpet will look or for appearance retention. Types of residential carpetsThere are really only 4 types of carpet that are found in residential homes: nylon, olefin, polyester and wool. • Nylon CarpetAs the most popular carpet, nylon makes up about 90% of all carpets in residential homes.
• Olefin CarpetOlefin is a very versatile carpet fiber. It is the lease absorben of all carpet fibers. It's found in carpet backing, as well as carpet face yarn.
• Polyester CarpetPolyesters popularity has gone up and down like a roller coaster. Because it's inexpenseive to produce, manufacturers are regularly introducing the fiber in different styles to the carpet industry. Although it has excellent qualities for clothing and upohlstery, it does have some limitations as carpet.
• Wool CarpetThe only natural fiber typically found in carpet is wool. It comes mostly from the fleece of sheep and lambs. Also the oldest fiber used by man, dating back to 2000 BC. It is still one of the finest fibers available for carpet.
