Empire Carpets Review 

Empire Carpet Review:  Empire offers a wide selection of carpet tiles and broadloom made by well known manufacturers. They promise great deals and significant savings for home or office decorators. Because they have no retail outlets to maintain, Empire Carpets offers lower prices on plush wall to wall floor coverings, tight loop berber and tightly twisted frieze carpets with the result that redecorating is more affordable.

Make it easy on yourself

Empire representatives bring samples - cut pile or indoor outdoor carpet, and other flooring materials - to your house in colors and styles that fit with any type of decor. A sales person will measure the rooms to be carpeted and provide a no obligation estimate on flooring and underlayment. If the carpeting meets expectations, Empire promises that installers will be available to install it the next day.

According to their ads trained experts from Empire Carpet outlets are available to advise in the process of choosing and buying new carpet. They can identify high traffic areas and recommend suitable coverings that will stand up to daily use. The installation of the right underlay cushion is significant as is the color and texture of the carpet. Quality products from mills like Shaw, Mohawk and Beaulieu are available.

What to look for in a carpet

Empire Sales reps are able to help find the right choice for any home interior and budget. To determine the type of product that is best, several factors need to be considered including: design (cut pile or loop styles, casual and trendy Saxony or decorative texture designs); colors; fiber (wool, nylon, polypropylene or sisal); cost; the room where the carpet will be installed (living room, hallway runners or basement); and the amount of foot traffic it will get (heavy use on stair treads and entrance ways versus light use in bedrooms.

There are several types of padding to choose from each with different densities. Density determines whether the cushioning effect underfoot is soft, firm, resilient or supportive. Underlays offer comfort, absorb sound and reduce maintenance costs as well as prolonging the life of the carpet. The best products won't rot, mildew or smell.

Care and maintenance

Carpet protection is the next consideration. Small throw rugs or mats at all entrances will absorb dirt and moisture and keep carpets clean. Move heavy furniture occasionally to prevent permanent marks. Vacuum regularly, changing the direction occasionally to stand the pile upright and decrease matting.

Many Empire carpets are sold with a warranty on materials and stain resistant finishes. When accidents do happen, don't attempt stain removal unless the proper cleaning solvents are used.

Warnings

The above information gives consumers an idea of what to expect. However, there have been a number of consumer complaints about the quality of the carpets, the lack of professional installers, poor customer service when there are complaints and overcharging. Before spending any money make sure the Empire dealer in your area has a good reputation. Ask for references of satisfied customers and do due diligence. Check out .
