Color
Color is always first on our minds when it comes to choosing a floor. Consider how you want the
carpet to coordinate with your interior. Do you want the carpet to be the focal point or blend with your
interior?

Foot Traffic
High Traffic areas, such as hallways and enteryways require durable carpets made of resilient fibers
engineered to resist wear abrasion, crushing and matting. Other areas, such as bedrooms and
family rooms may have high traffic areas as well. Take a moment to inspect the carpet you are
replacing before it is removed to identify high traffic areas in your home.

Performance
The performance and quality of a carpet is directly related to the amount and quality of fiber that
goes into the pile. The better the fiber and the denser it is packed, the better the carpet will
perform. Thin, less dense carpet will lose its surface appearance faster. It is best to buy the highest
quality carpet and cushion that you can afford.

Carpet Fibers
The most common fibers used in carpet today are nylon, olefin, polyester and natural fibers such as
wool or sisal. The inherent characteristics found in each of these fibers helps determine their use
and color offering. Premium, nylon soft fibers are extremely popular and offer superior soil-hiding
characteristics, comfort, durability and brilliant color palettes.

Stain Resistance
Most residential carpets offer some type of stain resistance. Those who enjoy entertaining or who
have children and pets should consider carpets with high levels of stain resistance.
