Buyers Guide |
| |
|
When initially one starts looking for a carpet one simply doesn't know
what exactly to look for. There are numerous things that one comes
across and each one is alluring and tempting, each seemingly different
from one another yet confusing. |
| |
|
There are certain primary things that one needs to keep in mind while
carpet shopping. |
| |
|
|
|
1. |
Style - wall to wall carpeting requires a different material and
style than an accent carpet or area rug. |
|
2. |
Material - Natural materials, such as wool, cotton and silk have
much greater durability than synthetics. |
|
3. |
Knots per square inch for hand knotted carpets, tightness of
weave for flat woven length and tightness of tufts are important for
durability of the carpets. |
|
4. |
Backing for tufted and synthetic carpets is another important
factor. |
|
5. |
Traffic or the purpose of the carpet as per your lifestyle is
another determining factor. |
| 6. |
Selecting the right dealer is important as
an authentic dealer tackles all these problems on his own and advises accordingly.
