The 6 factors that control the Quality of all Carpets
Fiber
Weight
Weight
When your creating a carpet the first decision that has to be made is what fiber are you going to use. Today, carpets are made out of 4 main fibers.
Polyester- nylon - Smart Strand or wool.
And they all have different performance and cleaning characteristics.

Weight

Weight
The next decision on a carpet is how heavy is the carpet going to be. Carpets can have face weights of as low as 14 ounces ( apartment grade ) and all the way to 100 ounces and more -all depending on how much you want to spend.
Today when you shop for carpet- most pricing is done by the square foot, but when were talking about the weight of a carpet, we're referencing a square yard. So when your looking at a carpet that has a 40 ounce face weight- that is how much fiber is one square yard not one square foot. The weight of a carpet directly affects the price but not necessarily the quality and performance.
Twist
Weight
Twist
The last decision with regards to the fiber it self is twist level. The twisting and heat setting of a fiber is what gives your carpet the ability to resist matting together. Twist levels on carpets range from the low side of about 4 twist per inch up to about 7. The higher the twist level the better. The looser a carpet is the more important the twist is. But be aware there are carpets out there that have excellent twist levels - but because the fibers are so soft- they'll mat down any way.
Gauge
Pile Height
Twist
The next decision on a carpet is what gauge of tufting machine are you going to use. The gauge of a carpet directly influences the performance of a carpet . The gauge of a carpet refers to how tight the needles are place in the width or weft of a carpet. Residential tufting machines range from 5th gauge - which means 5 needles per inch - or 770 needles in a 12 ft carpet -up to a 10th gauge which has 10 needles per inch or 1440 in a 12 ft carpet. As a general rule- the tighter the gauge the better the carpet.
Stich Rate
Pile Height
Pile Height
After we've picked the fiber- the twist- the weight and the gauge-
We have to decide the stitch rate. The stitch rate refers to how tight a carpet is made going forward. Where as the gauge of a tufting machine is fixed- the stitch rate is adjustable and can range from about 5 stitches per inch in a lower quality carpet up to 13 stiches per in in a high quality carpet. A carpet with a tighter gauge and stitch rate will take traffic and maintain its appearance better that looser carpets . When you know the
gauge and stich rate you can figure tufts per square inch and tips per square inch. Which gives you one of the best metrics for comparing carpets.
Pile Height
Pile Height
Pile Height
After we've made all of the other 5 decisions- we've still need to decide how
tall the pile will be. This can be one of the most important factors in getting the right carpet. Pile heights in residential cut pile carpets range from about 3/8 of an inch up to about an inch
and can very by as little as a 64th of an inch. if your shopping for a busy travel lane you have to look at each carpet individually , so don't be fooled. You can have a 60 ounce carpet with a 7/8 pile
that may feel fantastic but will not hold up as well as a 40 ounce carpet with a 3/8 pile. Shorter- tighter piles will take less care to maintain
There is no such thing as the perfect Carpet . But there is a Carpet that will best suit you and your families needs. Our job is to help you find it.
