Carpet fiber types
There are 4 major fibers used to make residential carpet yarn-wool, nylon, polypropylene and polyester. Wool is the oldest and most expensive fiber used to make carpet. It is a natural fiber derived from the fleece of sheep and is found in fine oriental rugs and also very expensive woven rugs.
Nylon is by far the most widely used man-made fiber in tufted residential carpet. It is very durable and accepts dye well, allowing for a wide range of colors and styles.
Polypropylene (olefin) is also a man-made fiber best suited for berber styling. It is water and stain resistant and very durable.
Polyester is sometimes used in carpet. It is a very soft fiber and should be used only in low traffic areas.

Buying considerations
There will be four prominent considerations in your mind – your budget, the color you need, the type carpet you want, and a question if the carpet you select will last.
Our sales professionals are knowledgeable about carpet and will help guide you to selections that meet your requirements. Give them as much information as possible. Tell about your family including how many people and ages, which will enable them to determine the best carpet for your traffic patterns. Explain which rooms you wish to carpet and the approximate sizes. If possible, bring a fabric swatch to help in color selection.
You will see much confusing information about carpet. Ultimately what should be important to you are the written warranties covering the carpet you purchase, since this is the manufacturer’s promise and commitment to you. Many manufacturers give each product line a grading based on the warranties and how they know the carpet will perform.
These grades are NOT based on price; they are derived from the many variables involved in manufacturing carpet. It is your written assurance that the carpet will last and retain its appearance. This allows you to select your new carpeting based on color and aesthetics.
