How to decide which quality of carpet is to be used in your project ? Factor 2: Factor 1: Cost / Affordability Performance vs. Comfort Performance Relative Cost of Fibres Polypropylene vs. Nylon Acrylic vs. Wool High density (stitch, gauge) Low pile height Method of Carpet Production Harder Wearing fibres (e.g. nylon) e.g.: Tufted carpet vs. Axminster carpet Comfort / Luxury Factor 3: High pile, shaggy pile Color and Design Low density (stitch, gauge) Softer / thinner fibre
Carpet Installation - some considerations Basic methods of installation: Direct glue down Using underlay and grippers Double stick installation (Durafit System) Seaming of joints nailing of grippers Installation costs
