Which carpet to choose

By PATRICIA M. RATHBUN We have come a long way from the nine by 12 rugs that greatgrandmother had in her parlor. Now you not only must decide which carpet to choose, but where you will use it — on the floor, the ceiling, the boat dock, around the pool, or on the sidewalk. Selecting carpet for your needs with the money you have to spend, is no easytask. You will be bewildered by the many fibers, colors, and styles from which to choose. Before you shop for carpet become as well informed as you can. For many, color is the chief determing factor in their carpet selection. First, you will need to decide if you want to keep your floor neutral in tone so that you can build several different color schemes around it, or if you want to select a color or pattern that could limit future choices. Some colors show less soil than others. They have high soil concealability. Blues and greens show the least soil while yellows and golds show the most. All very light colors and white show soil and some lose their original good appearance. Dark colors show lint and dust. A good rule of thumb for the choice of color is to select a color value, between the lightest and the darkest, that exactly matches the color value of that soil that is tracked in. The surface pile of carpets can be made from many different kinds of fibers. The natural fibers are wool and cotton. The manmade fibers are nylon, acrylic, modacrylic, rayon and acetate. Any of these fibers can be made into a carpet which gives you good value for your money. The fiber content of a carpet alone does not guarantee quality and performance. The various fibers have their own characteristics. Wool is the classic carpet fiber with a balance of desirable characteristics. Resiliency, abrasion-resistance, adaptability to styling, warmth, and soilresistance are wool’s traditional characteristics. Wool also burns slowly and extinguishes quickly without smoldering. Nylon is noted for abrasionresistance and offers outstanding value in medium-priced carpets for heavy traffic areas. There are two types of nylon — staple and continuous. Nylon has a tendency to generate static and staple nylon forms pills that stay attached to looped-pile textures because of nylon’s high strength. Continuous filament nylon eliminates pilling. Nylon is a “smooth” fiber which resists water absorption. Therefore, water soluble stains are easily removed. Acrylics and modacrylics are synthetic fibers that closely resemble wool. They have good abrasion resistance, medium to high resiliency and good resistance to soil and stains. They compare to wool in durability and resist rapid water absorption. Rayons' and acetates are closely related. They are noted for their economy and adaptability to styling. They are often used in low traffic areas because they do have a tendency to crush. Polyester fibers are high in strength and have a soft luxurious appearance close to wool. They clean easily without distortion of pile, are colorfast and versatile. The cost of the carpet will

probably be the final determining factor. Buy the best carpet you can afford for the intended purpose. The value of the carpet will depend on price in relation to performance. A low price for poor quality is no bargain. The cost of the carpet reflects many factors, construction as well as fiber content and appearance. To judge price - properly, consider the years of expected wear compared to the price. The wear life of a carpet will vary, according to use and proper care, but you can estimate the expected life of a carpet by measuring amount of traffic aganist quality. Top grades are usually used in high traffic areas; medium grades in normal traffic areas and lesser grades for limited use.
