Finding the perfect carpet for your home can be challenging. Between the different patterns, styles and colors, you have many options. However, before you think about style and pattern, you want to know you’re getting the highest-quality carpet available.
Let’s take a look at some signs of quality carpet you should be looking at.
Backing
Take a quick peak at the backing of your carpet. It should have a tight weave, which will ensure quality and wear. Your flooring endures through traffic every day, so a tight weave will ensure longevity of your carpet.
Finishes
Many carpets often come with stain-resistant treatments, especially with nylon carpets. Be sure to ask about these treatments as they can make carpets easier to clean.
Woven or Tufted?
Find out if the carpet is woven or tufted. Carpets that are made by weaving are much tougher, creating a highly durable carpet compared to tufted.
Pile Density
Carpets are crafted with amounts of pile yard. The denser the pile, the better the performance and durability. A great way to test the density is by taking the carpet and bending it backwards. The less you see the backing through he bent carpet, the denser the pile.
Conclude
Carpets have many features, from backing to twists. All of these components come together to form your carpet. The more you check each of the features, the more you will know about your carpet. If you have any questions, we would be happy to help.
