What Grade of Carpet to Select 

©2002-2007 Alan J. Fletcher - Consumer Advocate

 

I go into great detail in my e-book about this very important subject. An important decision you'll need to make right away is What grade of carpet should I buy? The decision you make might well depend on how much money you have to spend on your project. 

If you don't buy a carpet that is capable of handling the amount of foot traffic your home has, you may not be happy with the final outcome. Price verses durability is the key factor to consider to ensuring you buy the right carpet. How will you know which carpet is right for you? This is a hard question for most consumers to answer.  I wrote my ebook to make it easy for you. Here's some information that you can use to your advantage...

What makes one carpet better than another?

Generally, carpet is graded by the materials used, the fiber type, the fiber weight, the tuft twist and how well it is constructed overall. Carpet construction can be quite confusing for anyone so...

Lets narrow it down to three basic things:

  • Fiber

  • Density

  • Twist

 

FIBER

Carpets can be made from many different fibers. Some fibers are good, some fibers are not so good. There are are 6 basic (synthetic) fibers to choose from:

  • Nylon 

  • Olefin (also called polypropylene)

  • Polyester 

  • P.E.T. (a polyester made from recycled materials)

  • Sorona (a polymer made from corn)

  • Blend (a combination of two fibers)

Which fiber will be the best choice for you? That's what 30-years of carpet experience has taught me, and what I have put into my ebook for you to use to your advantage. 

The main problem is, many carpet salespeople can't or won't help you make the right fiber choices. They either don't have sufficient fiber knowledge, or just don't care what fiber you select. 

Would you ever ask a Car salesperson to tell you what type of Car you should buy? Of course not! 

So do not ask any carpet salesperson what carpet you should buy. You need to determine that by a process of elimination. You need to take many things into consideration...such as....How many people live in your home? Do you have small kids or pets? Do you entertain often? Do you live in a moist climate? Is this for a basement area? Do you have teenagers? do you have elderly people in the home? Do your pets have occasional wet accidents? and more....

What fiber you select is critical. But so is the density rating...read on.

Density

Density is how thick the carpet is. Generally, the thicker the better, but the pile height also plays a role in how long the carpet will look like new and how easy it is to clean and vacuum. Better quality carpets have a density rating of 2000 or more.

When a carpet is dense it wears longer and looks like new longer. If a carpet is not very dense, it may mat down quickly. Once it does, nothing will bring it back to its original appearance. 

Twist

In plush style carpets, fibers are grouped together and twisted to form tufts. The amount of twist each tuft has is important. Some carpets have a tighter twist which makes the carpet more durable and look like new longer. The tuft twist is determined by the number of twists per lineal inch. Better quality carpets have a twist of 5 or more. 

Ladies, if you have ever curled your hair you know first hand that tighter curls hold their shape longer than loose curls. It's the same with the carpet tuft twist. The tighter the twist the longer it looks great and holds its shape. Tufts that are not twisted as tight will unravel quickly and then the carpet will look worn out and tired.

"Alan, Let me say that my wife and I both read The Complete Carpet Buying Guide eBook and found it extremely informative. We’re about to re-carpet our entire house, and the book probably saved us a bundle of money and, perhaps more importantly, prevented us from choosing the wrong type of carpet, dealer, and installer" Thanks, Jack
