A range of colors, cut pile, tufted or looped styles, construction methods and weights gives endless options, and carpet prices range from affordable to luxurious. Wholesale carpets are available direct from manufacturers - with no middle man to raise the cost.

Discounted carpet can be no frills and serviceable or an investment in luxury at reasonable prices.

Check the performance rating on the label to see where the carpet rates from 1 to 5 - anything above 4 signifies that it can stand up to extended wear. Normal wearability is within the range of 2.5 to 4. Proper carpet cleaning will extend the life and can be done with rented carpet cleaning machines. Ratings below 2.5 should be used in areas with only light traffic such as a bedroom.

Look for durable carpeting with characteristics that assure excellence and value. These include the twist, density and type of fiber. Tough nylon and versatile polypropylene or olefin are popular choices. Installing berber carpets is a worthwhile consideration.

Dense carpets are more comfortable than inexpensive counterparts and a higher twist of 6 or 7 means the carpet will resist crushing and matting. Look for a discount carpet that is manufactured with a stain resistant treatment - it makes getting rid of carpet stains much easier. Different brands offer their own treatments with 5 and 10 year warranties.
