Buying a new carpet is a large investment which should enhance the appearance and comfort of your home, as well as being serviceable.

In order to make a successful purchase that is a pleasure to live with, one must not underestimate the value of careful carpet selection as the different areas in a home have different priorities.

The following points will help you determine the best choice for your particular need.

Appearance retention:

This feature is vital in all carpets, but the demands and requirements for various areas of the home differ drastically.

Aesthetic appeal:

This is the “look” and the “feel” a carpet brings to your home. It is a very important factor, but the “looks” must last!

Consider the amount and nature of traffic which various areas in your home will experience.

Consider the more serviceable options for heavier punishment areas and then select a complimentary range(s) for your enjoyment in other areas.

Affordability:

Remember, the most expensive carpets do not always have to be the best all-round carpets. You need to look at longevity and maintenance issues.

Once you have made the correct choice, and have followed carpet care procedures, you deserve peace of mind that the manufacturer will support the quality you have purchased. - The Mercury
