Carpet advantages and buying tips
Choosing the right carpet involves a lot more than just finding a
color to match your paint or wallpaper. Here are some basic factors to
consider before you shop for your new carpet.
At Home Foot Traffic Carpet is specifically engineered for
high traffic areas, beauty, softness and appearance. Be sure to inform
the sales agent of your specific needs including location, children, and
pets, so they can assist you with the perfect choice.
Stain and Soil Resistance Most carpets offer stain resistance,
but those who enjoy entertaining or have children and pets should
consider carpets with high levels of stain resistance. Soil resistance
is just as important as stain resistance for maintaining a beautiful
carpet. Soil resistant products protect against soiling and staining by
repelling dirt and spills from penetrating the fiber, making cleaning
easier. Ask your retailer about soil and stain warranties on each
carpet.
Anti-Static Protection You may wish to choose a carpet with
permanent anti-static protection built into the fibers. This will create
a more pleasant living environment during cold and dry seasons.
Carpet Type Make the right choice for your lifestyle and
budget by examining carpet construction.
Texture: The textured surface of this carpet helps hide
footprints and vacuum marks, and is the preferred style for busy
households. Saxony : This luxuriously smooth, soft finish adds
distinctive elegance to any room. Berber Loop-Pile: Berber’s subtle
patterns fit a variety of room styles while hiding footprints and vacuum
marks. Berber is the ideal choice for contemporary to cottage and
country furnishings. Berber Cut-Pile: This carpet has the plush feel of
thick, cut pile carpet. It is decoratively versatile, and ideal for
casual rooms and kid’s rooms. Cut & Loop: Cut & Loop features carved
definition, and accent colors spice up floor surfaces. The multicolor
effects hide soil and stains while looking great between vacuuming.
Commercial: This durable, long-wearing surface pile is engineered for
high traffic areas and is perfect for professional and practical
installations. Color Selection Carpet color and texture affect the
character of any room. Rooms that lack sunlight can be brightened with
yellows, apricots or warm beiges. Cool colors, like blues and greens,
soften a room with a sunny exposure.
Light colors show fewer footprints; dark colors show less
stains and soil. Dull yarns show fewer footprints; while shiny yarns
show more highlights and accents. Minimize maintenance by restricting
light colors to less-used rooms. Multicolored carpets minimize the
appearance of everyday stains and soil.
