Choose the Right Carpet
By Alan
Fletcher - Carpet Expert & Consumer Advocate
With all
the different carpet styles, types and colors available today it is very
difficult for consumers to choose the right carpet that will meet their
needs, goals and budget.
So where
do you start? The first thing you must decide is:
To answer
this question you must take many factors into consideration including the
number of people in the household and the number of active pets, mainly dogs
and cats and so on.
Once you
know how long you want your carpet to last you need to know if you have
enough money in your budget to afford the level of quality and durability
that you require. But how do you know what level of quality and durability
you need? That's what I can help you determine by answering a few
simple questions.
I have
created a foot traffic test to help you determine the level of foot traffic you
have in your home. It is based on a set of variables that I believe to be
critical aspects in determining the level or amount of carpet wear and
tear in your unique situation.
