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.
