CARPETING
All of our carpets are installed with 7lb padding.
5 lb is the minimum. 8
lb is the firmest.
Most stores stock 6 lb and use it in majority
of their installs. 7 lb pad is firm but still comfortable
Once
the pad breaks down the carpet will follow.
We offer Royalty Carpet. An
Orange County based company. It takes 1 - 2 days to get carpet. If
out of stock they will make it, dye it and deliver it in 6 days. A
family run mill that has outstanding quality control. They pride
themselves on customer service, fantastic pricing, as well as a diverse

patented Tactesse Nylon. Tactesse Nylon is the highest quality
and the most advanced generation of nylon. Some of the Royalty’s
regular line of carpets has the Tacteesse as well. All Royalty
Carpets have the highest quality of nylon. They are the only carpet
company that makes their own fiber.
Durability
The measure of how long your carpet will look and feel good. Ideally,
carpet will retain its original texture and appearance for years to
come. Durability depends on finding the right balance of three important
factors defined below:
Fiber
During carpet manufacturing, natural or synthetic fiber is converted
to yarn and tufted, or locked into a backing to form the pile or surface
that you walk on. There are five major types of carpet fiber - nylon
6,6, nylon 6, polypropylene (olefin), polyester, and wool; the most
popular being nylon.
Ideal for carpeting, nylon 6,6 is a man-made fiber
that is wear-resistant (soil and stain resistant). Its natural properties
allow for a very wide range of colors and color blends and the newest
fibers offer the look and feel of wool, but with much less maintenance
and expense. All STAINMASTER® carpets are made of 100% premium
nylon 6,6 fiber with soil and stain protection not found in other
fibers.
Twist
The twist of the fiber is the way the fiber
filaments are spun into yarn, and how the yarn is in turn twisted
upon itself. Twist is usually locked into the fiber with a steam
or heat-setting. The tighter the twist, the more the carpet will
resist changes in appearance and texture. All STAINMASTER® carpet
construction is conducted under strict twisting specifications.
Density Density describes the amount of pile in the carpet and how close
the tufts are to one another. In general, the more dense the carpet
the better the quality. Check density by pressing your fingers on
the carpet and trying to reach the backing. It will be difficult to
reach the backing of a very dense carpet. With the tufts facing outward,
bend the carpet into a U shape to see how much of the carpet backing
shows. The less backing you see, the more dense the carpet. |
