Good
carpet is best
There
is nothing like walking barefoot on great carpet.
This
is an area where you do not want to scrimp, but you do not need
to break the bank. I always tend to go a little over the middle
of the road on carpet. There does not seem to be much difference
between the most expensive and the upper middle quality. Or at
least much of a difference when you are out of the show room.
There is maybe a little more stain resistance or a little softer
feel that you will only notice with the two 8 inch swatches side
by side. I have never been disappointed with going that route
with a decision on carpet.
I
also usually chose a carpet that is a little darker than my original
decision. So that it does not show traffic dirt as easily as a
lighter choice, and it does not look as dingy as soon. You also
need to consider if you have kids, pets and husbands.
There
are many other options in style of carpet. Cut pile, Cut and loop
pile, Berber, multi-level loop pile. Almost too many options.
The cut pile probably has the best feel, but does not wear as
well. The Level loop pile of berber will wear the best in traffic
areas. If you go to any carpet store look at all the options,
but do not buy there, you will pay through the nose. When you
are ready to install, contact a trusted contractor and see what
they can do for you.
Just
a few thoughts as you are considering new flooring. There are
many more flooring articles in our flooring
section. There is more specific information in the links at
the beginning of this article. They can guide you where you need
to go.
