What you thought you knew about carpet
Odds are we all had a parent or grandparent that had this particular floor covering. However, many things have changed over the years, and the flooring industry has changed drastically in that time frame.
The biggest problems in those days were staining, allergy problems and premature wear and tear. While all of these situations do still exist, there have been major accomplishments in these areas. Stain protection, even geared specifically towards pet stains and odors, are now built right into the fibers themselves. Some come with fibers that are created to be hypoallergenic. And new blended fibers are outlasting the competition by leaps and bounds, especially in connection with the proper underpadding.
Understanding how your own needs relate to the fibers you choose can also be a big help when shopping for new flooring. For instance, if you experience a high level of traffic throughout your home on a regular basis, you’ll want to stay away from fibers that are easily crushed or that do not hold a twist well.
The fact is, there’s simply no comparison between today’s flooring and that of yesteryear. What’s more, it’s so easy to design with, as there are new color combinations, styles and fiber patterns emerging every day. It’s likely that you’ll find a wonderful complement to your already existing décor in carpet.
