What makes a
carpet
wear out?
If you don't buy
a carpet that is capable of handling the amount
of foot traffic your home has, you won't 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 grade
of carpet is right for you? This is the hardest
question for most consumers to answer. Don't think any carpet
salesperson can help you with this, they rarely have the care or expertise
to help you choose carpet wisely. I wrote my
ebook to make it easy for you to determine what grade
of carpet will work best for you. Carpet Fibers
What
makes one carpet more durable than another?
Unless you have an unlimited
budget and can afford to buy the absolute best carpet
on the market you will eventually have to make a very difficult decision.
Which grade
of carpet should I select that tolerate my foot
traffic and will look like new for as long as I expect and be within my
limited budget?
Let me be frank, if you choose a
carpet that cannot handle your foot traffic it
will wear out in a hurry. Maybe you want your new carpet
to last for ten years. What will you do if it wears out in five? Common
Consumer Carpet Buying Mistakes
Will you be in a position to
replace it in five years? Or will you have to live with a worn out carpet
for five years. This is the reality that you have to face. Even if a carpet
salesperson tell you that a carpet will last for
10 years, it doesn't guarantee it will. Even if the manufacturer's warranty
says:
Manufacturer's carpet
warranties are practically worthless. None of their warranty details will
make any difference if you choose the wrong grade
of carpet. There is absolutely no guarantee that
your new carpet will look like new for ten years
unless you select the right carpet! And even if
you do choose a carpet that can handle your
amount of foot traffic, you still must choose the right pad, have it all
installed correctly. Beyond all that, you are required to properly maintain
your carpet according to the manufacturer's
warranty guidelines.
Let me give you an example, it
doesn't matter if you buy a new Ford Fiesta or a new Mercedes SL500, if you
don't change the oil and do the necessary maintenance your car will not last
long. Carpet is no different. You just have to
be sure to buy the style and quality that you require, based on your needs, budget and
expectations and then be sure to take proper care of it.
How is carpet
graded?
Generally, carpet
is graded by the quality of materials used, the fiber type, the fiber
weight, the tuft twist and how well it is constructed overall. Determining
which carpet is the best choice for a particular
application can be quite difficult for even a seasoned carpet
salesperson. Many factors must be considered.
I will help you answer all these
questions and dozens more...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 benefit. I also show you how to avoid dozens of common carpet
scams. I'll also show you how to use my "insider" information to
help negotiate your best deal!
When choosing the right carpet
quality... The main problem is, many carpet
salespeople can't or won't help you make the right carpet
choices. They either don't have sufficient knowledge, or just don't care
what carpet you select. Common
Carpet Scams
Carpet
salespeople are hired to sell. They are paid on commission. When the store
owner is looking to fill a vacant sales position he gets plenty of
applicants. Salespeople flock to apply for these higher-paying sales jobs.
Faced with a stack of job applications who do you thing the store owner or
manager will hire? The aggressive sales professional who does not take no
for an answer? Or the kind, honest, caring and knowledgeable salesperson who
will spend extra time to be sure that each customer is treated fairly.
So let's get one
thing straight, I suggest you do not ask any carpet
salesperson what carpet you should buy. You need to determine your
carpet needs all by yourself by a
simple 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....Sound difficult? Yes it is! Luckily, in my ebook, I will help you
figure it all out. Sure it takes a little effort on your part, but in the
end, you will be a happy and satisfied customer.
