3 most important things to know before buying a carpet for your home

red hr line

Carpets can give your rooms the cozy look and feel you have always wanted. They simply make your rooms look brighter and warmer. They can be maintained with ease and can be very useful if you like using the floor for different purposes. It can be your favorite place to sit for completing those DIY tasks, or the place for your kids to play. However, to get the best service from a carpet for minimum maintenance it is important to spend in a carpet that is suitable to meet your requirements. Read on to know about the things that you need to consider before buying a carpet for your home.

The longevity: The longevity of a carpet is not always directly proportional to its quality. A very good quality carpet might be very delicate for regular rough usage. So, depending on the expected usage of the carpet in your home it is important that you buy a variety that can give the maximum longevity under the given circumstances.

To know the longevity of a carpet first consider the density of the carpet fibers. The carpets with maximum fiber density are most durable, but less soft. So, you need to balance between the two factors according to your needs.

The other factor that determines the durability of a carpet is the type of fiber used. Starting from wool to different types of nylon, polyester and synthetic fibers can be used in making a carpet. The wool carpets are usually most durable and soft but they are highly pricey. Polyester carpets can offer medium to great longevity and are much cheaper.

Resistance from stain: Before you buy a carpet being completely aware about the resistance of the carpet against stains is very important.  No matter how cautiously you plan to use the carpet during the first few months, it is going to suffer from liquid spillage, dirt or even the colors from the box of your child sooner or later. So, being aware about the capacity of the carpet to resist stain is actually important and you should pick one according to your specific usage.

The Polyester carpets are inherently resistant to stains; they just do not absorb the foreign liquids. Other carpets also come with specific types of stain treatments that make it much easier to remove the stains. The better the stain treatment on the carpet the lesser amount of dirt and stain it will attract and will preserve the original shades for much longer. So, choose a carpet that has gone through high quality stain treatment.

The padding and underlayment: The padding of the carpet is very vital to consider before spending on a carpet calgary , because the padding serves as the foundation of the carpet. It supports the carpet and also cushions it. Most of the carpet pads used nowadays is of the re-bond variety but there are different types to choose from; and currently carpet pads with special features are also available.

It is best suggested by the professionals to not to opt for carpets that come with plain foam pads because they deteriorate quickly. While picking the carpet consider the density and the thickness of the carpet pad as well. For home usage the density of the pad should not be less than 6LB and as far as the thickness is concerned, chose a variety that is not too thick or too thin. Now a days special types of carpet paddings are also available that can provide features like spill trap, memory foam as well as anti-microbes to ensure better longevity and minimum maintenance of your carpet.
