When carpeting the whole house from top to bottom what do you need to know?

There are various types of carpets that you would use and in different areas of the house. Consumers usually want the best budget when it comes to carpeting and want value for their money. They go for the lower costing carpets for the bedroom as there is less traffic but invest a bit more in the quality fo the carpet for the stairs and living areas where there is more traffic.

In the bedroom you might see want a carpet which is less costly as there is less wear and tear. Yes, the carpet has to be of good quality such as 80% wool is usually recommended. But if you want to keep the cost down, you can opt for a normal carpet. When it comes to the stairs and living room I would recommend a good quality carpet. The carpet could be the best quality which you can stretch to 80% wool and 20% any other fibre such as polypropylene or nylon which strengthens the wool.

The 80% wool gives a unique feel which may not be derived from another carpet. 100% polypropylene and part nylon carpets are also available; they are cost effective and hard wearing. They give stain protection and can be cleaned using bleach which cannot be done on wool.

In the living room, there is more traffic. It is important to have a good quality carpet that can be stretched to at least 50 ounce. It is also essential to look at each room and say what you require in terms of traffic and comfort, and then you should decide the ratio on wool.

You might even want to coordinate the same colour throughout the house. This can be achieved in a very economical way by laying a good quality carpets in the living room and stairs whereas a less expensive carpet in the bedroom. This will help keep the costs down with getting the same quality carpet across all the rooms with your choice of colour and weight. It is important to remember that you get what you pay for.

Could you tell us a bit about the types of carpets, its weave, mixture of wool and anything else?

The lower cost carpets would not be made of wool but polypropylene. They are hard wearing carpets that have a particular backing. It could have a felt backing, which can be laid down straight onto the floor without any under lay, reducing the cosr of the carpet and materials. Fitting these carpets tend to be hard as they are made of artificial materials like polypropylene that have properties such as being stain-free or the ability to bleach clean them. This can be particularly helpful if the carpet is used for wear and tear and hence you do pay a price for that but in exchange you lose the feel of luxury in carpets.

These carpets tend to be hard pressed. You don’t need any underlay which makes them feel hard on the foot. You do not derive the same luxury that you do with a carpet with maybe jute packing, which is definitely better quality. Hence moving up into those types of carpets, they are made of 80% wool and 20% polypropylene or nylon for the better quality carpets.

They would have a backing that would often be made from some action backing which is like a plastic backing. It is like crosshatching on the back of the carpet, whereas jute is a natural material derived from a type of grass. The best form of backing is hashing backing, which is like old sackcloth.

But with all these forms of carpets it is important to have an underlay backing. It is generally expensive way to get a better quality. It is important to have a under laid as it gives the carpets a real bounce that is felt under new carpets and better quality carpets. With the underlay the carpet will have a long life time value and a better wear and tear.

The better quality carpets such as Axminster carpets, come in shape carpets which as used in the bedroom and are the real luxurious carpets. It is important to be careful when you these forms of carpets because they usually get easily stained and flattened.

Axminster carpets have a lot of intricate patterns because of the type of weave they have used and they are of great quality and are luxurious along with being suitable for every area of the house. It is important to remember that you get what you pay for.

Could you give a few guidelines on how to look after your carpet?

The key thing to look after your carpet is daily care. Ideally you need to be vacuuming the carpets daily, but that may not be practical. Most people would be vacuuming two to three times a week and that is absolutely fine. But if the carpet gets stains or spills on it, it is essential to clean it off promptly. Use a soft cloth on the carpet in a circular motion working from outside of the stain into the centre and it is important to blot and not rub. For tough stains, you could use mild detergent which you use to wash your clothes.

Some carpets may be cleaned with bleach. These are usuall synthetic carpets made with polypropylene. Bleach can be used to remove bad stains, but it is important to be careful and ask the retailer before you do anything to ensure the carpet remains in mint condition. It is important to remember that you get what you pay for.
