Carpet Facts That is..

FIBER is related to
stain resistance and fade resistance.

CONSTRUCTION and STYLE affect
cleanability and wear resistance.

The price of a carpet
depends largely on its
fiber content,
pile weight,
and style.

Acrylic is more like wool
in appearance and feel than other synthetics.

It resists
moisture, mildew, and fading,
making it a good choice.

But acrylic
isn't very resilient
or abrasion-resistant,
so keep it out of high-traffic areas.

It's best for a formal living room
or a master bedroom.

In a level loop (Crystal & Classique),
yarn is looped over so both ends
are attached to the backing.

Short, densely spaced loops may not feel very soft,
but they provide a smooth surface
that wears well and is fairly easy to vacuum
because there aren't crevices for dirt to sink into.

It's good for stairs, family rooms,
and other high-traffic areas.
