Choose durable carpet flooring

 
There are many carpet flooring styles and fibers to choose from. It's easy to find a great carpet for any space in your home, whether you are looking for moisture-resistant flooring for a basement or top of the line flooring for a formal living room. Family-owned Bisek Interiors can satisfy all of your floor covering needs. We offer a wide selection of carpet, laminate, hardwood, vinyl, and stone along with alternative flooring materials like epoxy and rubber.
 

Fibers

 
Wool carpet fibers are more than soft and luxurious. Wool is a natural and renewable resource that is inherently soil-and flame-resistant as well as resilient. This means that the fibers easily bounce back after compression. Therefore, the carpet has good texture retention, or the ability to retain a like-new appearance years after installation. When properly maintained, wool carpeting can last for decades. Professional cleaning is best for this high-end floor covering. Most carpeting is made of the following synthetic fibers:

  • Nylon - Most common fiber; strong, resilient, and abrasion-resistant.
  • Triexta - strong, resilient, and abrasion-resistant.
  • Polyester - Available in vibrant colors; thick textures feel luxurious.
  • Olefin -Moisture and mildew resistant; ideal for basements.
  • Acrylic - Mimics the look and feel of wool at a lower cost.

Durability

 
Durability is determined by more than the type of fiber used to create the carpet. When browsing through samples, look for the TPI number on the label. The higher the turn per inch number, the better the carpet. If the TPI is 5, the fibers are twisted around each other 5 times. Mostly, fibers have a TPI from 3.5 to 6.0. Also note the thickness of the carpet, measured from its surface to its backing, as well as the density of the fibers. Carpet with a short pile height and a dense pile is the most durable. Also, choosing a new carpet based on how the room will be used and what kind of traffic it will receive goes a long way in guaranteeing durability.
