What to consider when shopping for carpet
Thanks to new manufacturing procedures that have taken place in recent years, there are more choices than ever when it comes to choosing a carpet for your home. However, the most important is choosing the right fiber. Each fiber has its own set of unique characteristics, that make it either perfect or awful for your space.

Other things to consider
For instance, if you have young children that play outside, and spend a lot of time coming in and out of the door, you’re surely not going to want to choose wool carpet. While this fiber is all natural, beautiful, and very coveted among homeowners, it doesn’t stand up well to a great deal of traffic. It’s also not welcoming of dampness or moisture, which can be carried in on wet feet after a rain. Wool can actually hold about ten times its own weight in water, and can create the perfect atmosphere for mold and mildew growth.
Here are some questions you will want to consider before seriously shopping for carpet. Your flooring specialist will probably ask you about them, so it’s best to have an idea of what your answers will be before getting started.
