What is a Nylon carpet?
Nylon is most noted for its durability. Because it's the hardest of all the synthetic carpet fibers, it resists wear and abrasion. A nylon carpet will usually last longer than one made from another type of fiber. The fiber also has good resilience -- it bounces back after being bent or crushed. It has excellent yarn "memory," meaning that it holds its twist well. Nylon carpets are less likely than many others to show indentations after furniture has rested on it. It looks new longer than most fibers.

Do we need to Scotchgard the carpet after the first steam cleaning?
No. All nylon carpets are treated with some form of stain resistance and a topical application of Scotchgard (trademark sign) will not add more protection. Do not use a product like Scotchgard (trademark sign) on wool carpets, as it will cause discoloration.

How do I figure square yards?
Take the square footage and divide by 9. While this will give you the exact amount of square yards, this number does not allow for seaming. If you want to get a little closer to the amount of flooring you will actually need, take the square footage and divide by 8 1/2.

What makes one carpet more expensive than another?
For nylon carpets, the weight of the nylon is the determining factor. Simply put, the more nylon in a square yard, the higher the price. While different types of patterns can also affect a price, it always comes down to which carpet is heavier when comparing two different types.

If you’re comparing nylon to polyester, nylon will be more expensive because it costs more to produce. One reason is that nylon has “memory” and polyester does not.

Is there such a thing as soundproof pad?
Yes. In fact, the best pad in the business is rated to cut 55 percent of sound. While it’s not cheap, it can be far less expensive than sound insulations that are sprayed or laid down between floors. We’ve installed these types of pads in schools, apartments and condominium buildings.
