Instead, evaluate the factors that are important to you. Determine where you plan to install the home carpeting; will it be in low or high traffic areas? Will you need a stain protector? Also consider the color and material of the carpet. While you want to choose a color that you enjoy, you also want a hue that will hide dirt and stains. The type of material will affect the overall appearance, durability and eco-friendliness of the selection.The two most important criteria in carpet construction and quality are density and twist. The density refers to how many carpet fibers there are in one square inch of carpet. The closer together the fibers are, the better density the carpet will have.
