subject: How To Buy Carpet [print this page] Carpet should face replacing whenever it appears to have wear or otherwise damaged beyond repair. Most carpet will last between five and 15 years, but that does not mean you should wait that long to replace your carpeting. Once that time comes, the following tips will help you to purchase the right product for your home.
First ask yourself a few simple questions. For example, how is the room going to be used and what amount of traffic will the room get? Does the room have direct access from the outside? These questions can help you to determine the quality of carpeting that you need.
Next, consider the following:
- In a room with a lot of heavy use and traffic, choosing a light color or white will not be the best option since it will show signs of wear and tear faster.
- Do select a product made with BCF Fibers. This is especially important if you will actually sit on the floor. Children playing on the floor will also benefit here. This material does not shed as other products do.
- To make a small room to feel bigger, select a lighter colored carpet. To make a large room cozier, select a darker color.
- If you are planning to stay in the home for some time, upgrade and purchase a top quality carpet. It will pay off in the long term. If you plan to remain in the home short term, a lower grade is fine to use.
Using a reputable dealer to purchase carpet from can make the process easier and may help you to find the most affordable option for your particular needs. When it comes to carpet, you want affordable and yet quality products.
