Carpet construction matters!

Continuous Filament. Those are the most important words to look for when buying carpet. Marketing people want to make it sound like the quality of carpet comes from the fiber it's made of or the stain protection it has on it. The truth is those things won't have any visible effect for the average consumer. These days almost all carpets both Nylon and Polyester are stain protected and soft. The thing that will make the difference between a carpet that performs and one that flops is the construction of the carpet.

The good news is the the construction of the carpet is something you can see and feel. How easily can you dig your fingers in the carpet and how many twists to each tuft have? Even the backing of the carpet is easy to look and and see if it's quality. The smaller the squares on the backing the better it is. What about this continuous filament then? This one is a little harder to see or feel. One test you can do is to rub the carpet and see if you get any fuzz. If your getting fuzz it's probably not a continuous filament and as I said in the beginning continuous filament is the most important thing to look for.

Stop in today and let us show you the difference between a quality carpet at a great price and the truly cheap carpets you'll find else where.
