Q: What makes a good quality carpet?

A: The density, the twists of the fibers, and the thickness is what determines the quality of carpet. Density refers to how tightly packed the fibers are. As far as twists are concerned, the tighter the better. The thickness is the ounce weight of the pile. A combination of density, twist, and thickness determines the quality of the carpet.

Q: Do carpets come with any stain treatments?

A: Yes. Almost all carpets are treated with some sort of stain resister (Scotchgard, Stainmaster, etc.), at manufacturing. Keep in mind, even though a carpet is stain resistant, no carpet is completely stain proof.

Q: What is carpet made of?

A: Carpets can be made out of three fibers: nylon, polyester, or olefin. Nylon is the most common fiber, it wears the best of the three fibers. Polyester resists stains better than nylon, and wears almost as well. Olefin is the most stain resistant, but does not wear well. Olefin is most common in commercial carpets, where the wear is not a problem.

Q: What do warranties cover?

A: Stain warranties are usually limited to food stains, that are not heat set. Wear warranties ensure that your carpet will not pack down more than 10% per year. The chances of having to file a claim on your warranty is very slim. They are there to give you the assurance that you are buying a quality product. For the most part, if you feel that your carpet is doing something that is abnormal, you need to let us know.

Q: What is the difference in pads?

A: The pads are listed by their density (in pounds) and thickness. The density tells you the quality. A 7 lb. pad is better for your carpet than a 6 lb., and an 8 lb. is better than a 7 lb. The manufacturers recommend at least a 6lb. pad. The thickness depends on the type of carpet you are buying. If you are getting a commercial or berber carpet, you want a pad that is ¹/₄ " or ³/₈". For cut pile carpets, ¹/₂ " or ⁷/₁₆" is recommended.

Q: How do I figure out square yardage?

A: Multiply the width of the roll (usually 12 feet) by the length that you need, and divide that by nine. For example a 12 foot by 100 foot roll would go like this: 12 x 100 = 1200 / 9 = 133.33 square yards.
