Don t use one factor alone as an indicator of a carpet s overall quality.
Carpet oz weight.
Even here though there are limitations to how much emphasis to place on.
And i think you can see where i m going with this.
The last consideration is face weight weight of the carpet pile per square yard.
The misleading carpet is the more durable carpet right.
A higher face weight means more yarn says grable and more yarn makes for a longer lasting product as an example within one product line the good level carpet has a face weight of 40 oz.
Berber for example is most likely going to outperform a 28 oz.
For example a carpet with a 50 ounce face weight and a pile height of 1 2 an inch would have a density of 3 600 ounces per cubic yard 50 x 36 0 5 3 600.
Fiber face weight is not the same as total carpet weight which includes the weight of the carpet backing and the fiber face weight.
The best level weighs in at 63 oz.
The misleading carpet has a 40 oz face weight and the durable carpet has a 35oz face weight.
