The Basic Styles

The decision to carpet a room is one of many choices that you will have to make in regards to flooring choices. Primera has experience and knowledge to offer in making a fluid and proper decision in this arena. Here is some information regarding: color tips, styles of carpet, quality constructions and fiber and stain protection.

We will start with a couple of Primera’s color tips: when deciding on colors in general, lighter ones visually extend a room, while darker colors create more of a closer, intimate feel. Remember that once your carpet is installed into your home or office that it will look slightly lighter in color than the samples that you previously chose, liken to how when paint dries it appears lighter to the eye. Bold colors are good for pop and sizzle, but tastes may change over the years. When it comes to carpet colors pulling from a neutral pallet is the way to go. It also opens up the variety of furniture choice.

In regards to styles of carpet. There are many and they all offer different feels and evoke different types of styles. Here are some brief descriptions of several of them. Saxony has a luxurious, velvet feel and a uniformed, finished look. It is a very good choice for a bedroom or a guest living room. Due to its plush feel, vacuum lines and footprints might be visible.

Textured is a very popular choice, it is a cut-pile carpet and its fibers are alternatively twisted in order to create a two-toned appearance. This type of structure helps hide footprints and vacuum marks. It is available in many different prices ranges and is a safe choice for most areas.

Frieze, like Textured, is also a cut-pile carpet but Frieze has a very high twist level. It is perfect for areas accustom to high traffic and it also can offer many different looks because it comes in a variety of pile heights.

Cable is created with longer, denser yarn than the others mentioned so far, this is a very posh and beautiful carpet. It feels luxurious underfoot but is not a practical choice for high-traffic areas; its softer, longer yard tends to get matted and beaten down. Works perfectly in master bedrooms, living rooms or any where you want to add that special touch.

Cut & Loop is a mosaic carpet, in accordance with its name it has a mixture of cut and looped yarn. This variation in the yarn style produces a patterned and textured surface. It is recommended for path areas and is a safe and agreeable addition to any room.

Looped is also referred to as “berber” its best quality is that it is extremely durable, with this carpet sometimes seams are visible. Its durability comes from the production process avoiding cutting the yarn tips. It is a great carpet for a family room and comes in flecks, patterns and solid colors and different loop levels.

Seventy-five percent of carpet today is made of nylon because it leads in many different categories. It has great appearance retention, is very fade and heat resistance, does a good job combating soil and stain, and is available in a lot of color and styling.

Now it is time to talk about quality constructions and fiber. In this area it is imperative to simply know the traffic of your home or office. Be sure to take into consideration the construction of the carpet, the softest, deepest carpet is not always the best carpet. What is right for the hallway might not be the best for the guest bedroom. Put some time and attention into the process under which the carpet that you are leaning towards was created. Look for a tight twist in each individual strand of yarn, stay away from stands that are fraying at the ends or look loose. Also look for a solid, dense pile, in order to assess your carpet’s density simply, bend a corner back and see how much of the backing is visible. The more backing the less solid and dense is the carpet.

In regards to stain protection and warranties, as the quality and cost of the carpet rises, so does the quality of stain protection and the warranty level. Make sure that there is a complete understanding in what is included in the products that you are reflecting on purchasing. Many carpet manufacturers have intelligent and reasonable warranties in place that will extend the life of your carpet and increase it aesthetic appeal.

The correct and proper choice in carpet is important, it is a solid investment and can also increases the resale value of any real estate.
