Step2: Choose quality construction
How long a carpet stays beautiful depends on how well it is made. Simply
stated, better made carpet will last longer. The twist and density of the
fibers affect carpet durability, appearance and price.
Twist
Twisting gives fiber strands the strength to stand up to crushing and
cleaning. Thick fiber with a tight twist is a sign of high quality carpet.
Density
Density is how tightly the twisted fibers are packed together. The denser
the carpet, the better the durability.
Step 3:Choose the level of stain resistance
Again, consider how you live in each room. If you have kids, pets, high
traffic areas or entertain a lot, you will want to choose a carpet with
stain resistance. But that won't limit your choice of carpet styles and
colors.
