Some things to consider when choosing a carpet
Once you decide on new carpet, we will come to your home to measure. The measurement for carpet is different that other flooring because it is a set width, usually 12 feet, and it is on a roll. The rooms will need to be drawn out so that the direction of the carpet is noted. All adjacent carpet needs to face the same way. If’ however, you choose a patterned carpet, the pattern repeat must be considered and even more extra material will be necessary so that the seams match perfectly. Another consideration is the sub floor. If the wooden sub floor is creaking, now is the time to repair the loose joints.
After the measure is complete it is time to choose a carpet. There are many different kinds to choose from such as plush, shag, frize, marled, commercial, and Berber to name a few. Some variables in choosing a carpet will be the weight of the carpet, the height of the yarns, the type of yarn it is made from, the twist of the yarn and the density. Shorter carpet will hold up better that plush, taller strands.
Depending on what you choose and the room it will be in, the next important decision is pad. Carpet pad is necessary to the longevity of the carpet itself. Choosing the right pad is as important as choosing the right carpet. They range in widths from 1/4″ to 7/16″. There are pads that are made of recycled foam and memory foam for example. With kids and pets, a moisture barrier is very helpful.
