Need help in your shopping for new carpet for your home, well we here at The Floor Barn, a Mansfield Carpet Store would like to provide you with a few little tips that can help you choose the right carpets for you and your home.

Choosing the right floor for your home can be difficult. Every floor has it it’s pros and cons. The benefits of carpet are that they provide a soft and warm floor to walk on, or for your children to play on. At our Mansfield Carpet Store, the carpets come in many different colors so there is an option for all design tastes, and it is probably the most affordable flooring product. However, with all the positives, a few negatives are that they can get “ugly” easier than other flooring types and do not really offer any resale value to your home like a hardwood floor would.

Once you understand the benefits and downsides of carpet and have decided it is the best floor choice for your needs, consider the following items prior to purchasing the carpet.

Proper Maintenance – Each carpet manufacturer has their own care requirements to keep your new carpet under warranty. Before you buy your carpet, ask your sales person at your Mansfield Carpet Store for the warranty info on the product you like. Most people don’t know that almost all warranties are void if their carpet is not professionally cleaned on a regular basis!

Style of Carpet – There are several different styles of carpet like Saxony, Frieze, Plush, Textured, and Berber. Different styles have different benefits and you need to find out which one is best for your home. Some homes have a lot of traffic and the best choice might be a darker textured carpet that can hide tracks and dirt better than other styles. Or maybe your home has little traffic and you wan to go with a more stylish patterned plush carpet that is light in color. Do your research or ask your sales professional at your Mansfield Carpet store to find the right one for you.

Padding – Selecting the right padding is almost as crucial as choosing the right carpet. Different carpets will work best with different pads, for example a low cut berber carpet is best with a thinner /dense carpet than other styles. If you have kids or pets, you likely will want to get a padding with Spillguard protection. Do not skimp on the padding!

These are some of the more important things to consider before buying carpet for your home. But remember, this is just guide, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact our professionals at our North Texas Mansfield Carpet Store.
