When you are buying a new carpet you are making an important decision. It is one that you can not rush into because you will have to deal with your choice for a long time. Read this article and learn about some of the things to think about before you make your decision.
The first thing you need to think about is the appearance of the new carpet. What color do you want? Is it going into a formal room or a casual room? Would you like a textured carpet or a brightly colored and fun one? Think about all of these things and make your decision from there. If for example you are carpeting a formal room you might want a Berber over a thick pile which might be appropriate for a casual room.
The next thing to look at is durability. You want a carpet that will last for a long time. If you have a heavy traffic family room you might want a speckled Berber that will hold up to traffic and hide stains. If the room is seldom used you can get away with a light colored pile carpet or something more delicate. Choose the carpet that will hold up well in the room you are installing it in.
The last thing to look at is cost. You want to set your budget and then get the best carpet you can for the money. If you can only afford a cheap grade of carpet but need something that holds up well you might want to try saving for another year before purchasing your carpet. You get what you pay for with carpet. Be sure to shop around to get the best price. Many retailers private label to make it hard to shop around so shop based on material, manufacturer and density. You want a denser carpet made by a good manufacturer. You also want a good material. Try to get a nylon carpet if possible as it will stand up better than Olefins or Polypropylene.
This should give you enough information to get started. Be sure to shop around and do your research and you can get a great deal on a carpet that will be perfect for you.
