Carpet Fiber Information
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN APPERANCE BETWEEN CARPET FIBERS
 

Nylon
Nylon is the most popular fiber mainly for its durability, not for its softness. Nylon fibers, which are dyed after production, have a good reputation in maintaining color, however most nylons will have a top coat stain guard applied and are not as resilient to staining as polyester.
Nylon is generally more expensive than polyester,
but cheaper than wool.
 

Polyester
Polyester is known for its softness, it also has excellent color clarity and retention. Polyester is easily cleaned and is more resistant to stains than nylon, however it does not hold up its fiber height under traffic and shifting weight as well as nylon. Polyester is luxurious, durable against abrasions, easy to clean.
Polyester is generally less expensive than wool and nylon.
Keep In Mind - Most customers out stain their carpet before out wearing it.
 

Solution Dyed
There's a new fiber of carpet called “Solution Dyed” or P.E.T polyester. This carpet is comparable with nylon in durability, and has a better stain protection than polyester. We have yet to have a customer stain the carpet and not be able to get the stain out, some have even used bleach or laundry detergent with absolutely no harm done to the carpet! By far, our best selling product for 2007.
Solution Dyed is generally priced in between Polyester and Nylon.
 

Wool
Wool's naturally crimped shape is the formation of millions of air pockets that act as insulation to help regulate room temperature and reduce energy bills. Also, is easy to clean and purifies your indoor air for up to 30 years from common contaminants by locking the contaminants deep in the core of the fiber. Soft, yet the most resilient, this fiber can withstand the toughest treatment and still bounce back looking brand new.

Carpet Cushion
Pad is a crucial part of your flooring
Every step you take creates hundreds of pounds of pressure per square inch in your floor covering. Carpet cushion helps alleviate that pressure.
The decrease in pressure helps make your carpet feel richer, thicker, and softer. Carpet cushion can significantly improve a carpet's sound absorption and improves its thermal insulation properties.
Dirt can grind down carpet fiber the way sandpaper wears down wood  and thus shortens carpet life. A Quality cushion makes cleaning more efficient because it raises carpet off the sub floor and provides an air space underneath, allowing the carpet to breathe.
When you vacuum, that space allows more air to come up through the carpet, carrying more dirt along with it. The result is more effective cleaning every time.

A quality carpet cushion helps decrease pile crushing, the acute compression of fibers in a high traffic area,particularly in hallways. The pad allows the carpet to maintain its pile height and stay looking new for much longer. Industry studies have shown that quality cushion can actually increase the useful life of carpet as much as 50%.
Also placing a quality cushion under your new carpet is often a condition of your warranty.
FAQ: Is The Thicker The Pad Better?
You might imagine that a thick carpet pad would give you the feeling of walking on clouds rather than a concrete slab, but you could be sadly mistaken.

Although carpet padding is responsible for a lot more than comfort, it should result in better insulation, softer impact, and stronger carpet.
You shouldn't scrimp on cushioning, since it largely determines the lifespan of your carpet, but neither should you always go for the thickest option.

Experts recommend never exceeding a thickness of 9/16"
A 10 pound pad will feel rock hard, the softest cushion available is 9/16"

Investing in slightly thicker carpet padding will be worth the money. This padding insulates the from cold and noise, as well as absorbs the impact that would otherwise go to the carpet.
