Choosing the right carpet flooring for your home requires more than just finding a color or style that matches your interiors. To make sure you'll be happier with your new carpet for the years to come, we'll give you a list of things to consider when buying new carpet flooring. Here are some of them.
Carpet fiber
Fiber is the carpet material itself. How the carpet looks and feels largely depends on the fibers they are made of. If you are looking to install carpet flooring in high-traffic areas such as hallways, nylon is a great choice. If you want to install carpet flooring but are worried about spills and stains, then polypropylene may be the right one for you. It's also one of the most affordable carpet flooring options there is.
Carpet Padding
Padding is the layer of spongy material between the floor and the carpet. It provides insulation and absorbs sound. Plus, it helps rectify any unevenness in your flooring.
Although not visible, carpet padding plays a big role in the life of your carpet. It protects your carpet from wear and tear; thus, extending the life of your floor covering.
Price
A lot of homeowners get shocked upon knowing the overall cost of buying and installing carpet. Aside from the carpet and padding, there can be a lot of unexpected and unforeseen costs that come with carpet installation. This includes removal of old carpet, floor preparation, dump fees and installation costs. Be sure to factor in these fees when creating a budget.
Qualified Carpet Installation
Carpet flooring, when not installed properly, may have a shorter lifespan. Considering the amount of money you will spend on new carpeting, you want to make sure it lasts for several years. That said, it is important to hire qualified installers to ensure a flush fit and to keep your carpet taut and secure.
