November 28, 2016 at 11:40 pm

STAINMASTER® TruSoft® carpet is one of the top rated soft carpets on the market today. It has a luxurious feel under your feet as you walk around your home.   TruSoft® carpet is manufactured from specially engineered nylon fibers to give it a super soft feel.

Today, consumer demand is all about softness.  STAINMASTER® TruSoft® has ultra-soft fibers.   TruSoft is made of nylon 6,6, which has been regarded as the best performing synthetic carpet fiber.  Don’t make a mistake with other soft fibers like polyesters,  as they won’t perform or hold up to traffic.

“As the market trends to softer fibers, we are raising the bar on softness with STAINMASTER® carpets with TruSoft™ fiber” said T.M. Nuckols, director of innovation and product development, INVISTA Surfaces. “It’s the softest STAINMASTER® carpet ever introduced and is among the softest of any carpet on the market.  However, we aren’t sacrificing performance with TruSoft™ fiber. These styles will meet the same performance levels and will have to pass the same battery of tests required of all STAINMASTER® carpets.” Nuckols continued, “In addition, with our other new innovation,

STAIN RESISTANT

TruSoft® carpet has stain resistance to food and beverage stains.

PROVEN PERFORMANCE

TruSoft® carpet is known to be very durable and easy to clean.

 

Disadvantage: The cleaning head of your typical vacuum cleaner can sink in to the soft pile carpet. This makes vacuuming more difficult to do, and the soft fiber shows more footprints when walking on it.  We can help you with vacuum cleaner recommendations if you are not sure where to start.

Properly installed carpet makes it look and  last much longer.  If your carpet is not installed properly by professionals the life of your carpet will most likely suffer.  Your room may not look as good as well.

Coventry Carpets guarantees their carpet installation and takes pride in their work. Coventry is  one of  few carpet companies in Denver that actually do their own installations.  In fact, most other retailers sub out their work.  At Coventry  our installation crews have over 30 years of carpet experience.

A proper installation technique for carpet installation would be to use a power stretcher,  only a knee kicker would be adequate for putting on new stairs.

Remember, carpet is a textile,  if seams are visible that does not mean it to a poor installation.  seam tape and direct lighting are usually the reasons seam are more visible in some places verse others.  Another good example of textile seaming would be clothing,  take a quick glance at what your wearing, and you will notice seams typically far more than you do on carpet.

Proper ventilation after carpet  installation helps to remove the smell you can get after the new carpet has been put down.  Try and keep your windows open and fans flowing to provide proper ventilation for a couple of days.

Clean your carpet  with a quality vacuum cleaner  weekly, it will  improve your indoor air quality and make your  room look nice. Do some research on vacuums,  Dyson vacuums are very hard on carpet, and can often leads to carpet looking ratty long before they should.   Make sure to follow these tips:

  • Dust first and then vacuum. Start your cleaning by dusting your blinds, windows and furniture and then vacuum this dust up while cleaning your carpet.
  • Take your time and do it right hitting the entire room thoroughly including the corners where dirt and dust can build up.
  • Empty or replace the vacuum bags when they are half to two thirds full.
  • Hiring a professional to deep clean your carpet at least once a year will extend its life.

How Is Commercial Carpet Different From  Residential?

October 1, 2016 at 3:38 pm

  • Businesses experience a higher volume of foot traffic, so the flooring needs to be able to take the traffic without having to be replaced too soon. Commercial space with heavy  traffic should select a commercial carpet  to withstand the heavier foot traffic.
  • Durability and economy are the goals of commercial carpet .
  • Residential carpet is designed with comfort in mind and it typically uses a thicker padding.
  • Residential carpeting usually has bigger pile and a looser loop design.

Advantages of Commercial Carpet

  • Commercial carpet is designed to be sturdier so the material generally has a shorter pile and tight looping which provides the density needed to spring back  into its original shape.
  • Most commercial carpets are stain-resistant, which cuts down on how often they need to be cleaned.

Disadvantages of Commercial Carpet

  • Rougher texture
  • Less comfortable to stand on because less padding

Commercial Carpet Materials 

  • Nylon is the most used option because it is durable, stain resistant and attractive.
  • Olefin is a little less durable but is much cheaper than nylon. For this reason it is often used in commercial spaces without a lot of foot traffic or if the tenant is moving within a few years.

Commercial Carpet Construction

There are three major types of commercial carpet construction.

  1. Cut pile is usually the most expensive and the nicest. This type of carpet is plusher  and is often used in high-end office space.
  2. Loop is the most common type used in commercial spaces. The fibers are looped not cut, which minimizes fraying and gives the carpet   Big areas with a lot of foot traffic usually use this style of carpet.
  3. Carpet tile is used in all types of commercial applications for high traffic areas. The reason for the installation of carpet tile in high traffic areas is that the tiles in these areas can be replaced with tiles from lower traffic areas and the look of the building is easier to maintain. Tiles that have been damaged can be replaced with new ones. This movement of carpet tiles helps maintain the look of the carpet and it lasts longer because of it.

 

Coventry Carpets guarantees their installation and takes pride in their work. We are one of very few carpet companies in Denver that actually do our own installations.  Most other retailers sub out their work.  Most of our installation crews have over 30 years of carpet experience.  Coventry employees are reliable, honest, hardworking and pleasant to have in your home or business.  Some notable installations are the “Brown Palace Hotel”, “Regis University” and “Briarwood Inn”.
