5 Tips to help you Select the Right Carpet for your Home

October 22, 2009

Welcome to my Blog about helping you choose the right carpet for your home.  I am a professional in the flooring industry for over 32 yrs.  I speacialize in carpet in Manchester NH and in the surrounding area. But through the internet I can help you all.

Here are some tips when selecting a carpet:

1.  Find out how the carpet is constructed.  The better it is made the longer it is going to last and the more value you will get out of it.  This is key especially if you are on a budget.  Think about how long it will be until you will be able to replace the carpet in the future and work backwards.  Obviously you may have a finite amount of money right now but lets maximize it to get the best value and return from your investment in your carpet and home.

2.  Think about the look you want.  Do you want a carpet where the loop or cut pile is of the same length or do you want varying lengths that create a pattern affect?

3.  Decore: Does your carpet fit into the existing decore of your home or is this the first phase of your remodel.  Either way think about the color, pattern and so forth.  It is important and remember that lighter colors will make a room feel larger where as a darker color will make a room feel smaller and more cozzie.

4.  Think about what room you are putting the carpet in and what is the level of traffic and use.  You will want a much more durable carpet in high traffic areas such as hallways, living rooms, family rooms, stairs etc. 

5.  Technology has really advanced what we can offer in the flooring and carpet industry.  Here, in Manchester NH carpet is available in stain and/or soil resistant options.  This helps if you are worried about how you are going to keep your carpet clean if you have a lot of traffic, kids, pets etc.  Be careful because some will sell you products that they hype up and do not truly have these benefits.  Check and do your research.  You don’t want to pay for a benefit and not truly get the product that you were sold.

Have fun.  This should be a fun process.  You are making improvements to your home and to the energy in your home.
