Frieze Carpet Prices
Here is the part nobody wants to talk about… frieze carpet price. Of course the actual cost of your frieze carpet is going to depend on the size of the room that you are going to put the carpet in, so you will want to make sure to measure the room to get the right dimensions for the carpet. It is also a good idea to overstate a little while measuring, that way you are not short on the amount of carpet you have on hand when you install the carpet.
After making all your measurements, you will want to visit several different stores to make sure you get the best quality as well as the best price. Nobody wants to spend more money than they have to, especially when it comes to frieze carpet. Frieze carpet is good for high traffic areas so the price is going to be higher than other types of carpet, which is a downside. But I can tell you that it is well worth the extra money.
Assuming that you are going to be buying carpet for your home, the approximate cost for frieze carpet is an average of $1.65 to $2.95 per square foot. Now if you are purchasing frieze carpet for your business, you may be able to get a discount, especially if you have a large amount of area to be carpeted.
It will save you money if you decide to install the carpet yourself, but at the same time, if you are anything like me it will last a lot longer if you have a professional do it. You should determine whether or not you are going to do it yourself or have the professionals do it for you before you go into the store. That way you have a money figure already planned ahead on what you are willing to spend on your frieze carpet.
As a general rule I like to use before making any purchase I always research many different websites on the item that I want to buy to insure that I am making a good purchase. I recommend not only reading the articles on this blog but other sites as well. Remember that a decreased knowledge of frieze carpet can cause discrepancies with its sole purpose when installed into your home.

Frieze Carpet Color
Now that you have decided that you are going to purchase frieze carpet you must choose the right color. Frieze carpets come in many different colors as well as different patterns. Because of the way frieze carpet is made it will be difficult to find a decadent design on the carpet. So expect to find more simple patterns in frieze carpet. Typically when you are looking for frieze carpet you are going to find either solid color, such as red, blue, beige, or green, or flecked colors. The fleck color option has multiple colors in small patches in the frieze carpet. For example, you can get a tan colored frieze carpet with brown or black specks in it. This will help to hide all the soil and traffic stains. Choosing fleck for your frieze carpet will ensure that your carpet will look fresh and last longer because it will be difficult to see the dirt. The flecked coloring option is also more visually appealing to some people over the solid color. While the solid color option helps bring attention to the twist that the fiber creates. Unfortunately though, the solid color frieze carpets show more stains and dirt. This means you will have to clean this carpet a lot more just to keep it looking nice. At the same rate, you should still maintain your frieze carpet with either color style you choose and remember, both types of colors for frieze carpet will eventually wear down and become “ugly” over time.
While you are searching for the right color for your home you should ask for samples of each color of frieze carpet that you like and then take it home to see if it matches your furniture or any other item you want your carpet to match. You should be able to find samples of frieze carpet at most carpet stores that you visit. You will want to make sure the frieze carpet you chose goes hand in hand with the colors of the walls and the rest of your furniture so choose wisely.

Cleaning Frieze
Once you have purchased your frieze carpet, cleaning it will be a breeze. Frieze carpet is probably one of the easiest types of carpet to clean. You need to make sure that you have a vacuum cleaner with a beater bar. This will ensure that you will get a deep clean on your frieze carpet. The beater bar will disturb the carpet in order to loosen all of the dirt and grime that sunk deep in the carpet. This way you can make sure you are cleaning deep down to the carpet backing.
You also need to make sure that you set your vacuum to the correct height. This is a very important step when cleaning your frieze carpet. Setting the height of the vacuum to high will not clean your carpet to the extent that you are probably looking for. If you set it too low then you will put a lot more strain on the carpet than necessary, which in the long run can reduce the life of the carpet.
Most people only vacuum their carpet no matter what type of carpet they have. Whether it is low cut carpet, berber carpet, or frieze carpet; people prefer to just vacuum their carpet. This is perfectly fine to do with a frieze carpet, but if you want your carpet to look in tip-top shape it is important to have your carpet steam cleaned at least once a year. It is best if you get a professional to take care of this, but if you cannot afford it, you can rent a steamer at most home improvement centers. This is really the only way to make sure all of the oil, dirt, and other gunk that your vacuum cleaner cannot pickup, is taken care of.
If you take these steps, you will have no problem getting the most out of your frieze carpet. It will ensure that it always looks great and will add life to your carpet.

Purchasing Frieze
When purchasing frieze carpet, make sure you pick out exactly what you want for your home. You definitely do not want to pick something that does not go well with the rest of your furniture. Make sure to ask the store you are purchasing through if they have a sample you can take home. If the store you are purchasing through does not have a sample of the frieze carpet you are looking for, you may be able to find an online retailer who will be willing to send you a sample of the same carpet. There are also plenty of reviews on different frieze carpet brands so you can make sure you know what you are getting yourself in. Never buy any type of carpet, especially frieze carpet, without testing it out with the room you are going to put it in.
You also want to make sure that you are clear on the warranty of your carpet. Some places offer several types of warranties such as: wear warranties, texture retention warranties, and stain resistance warranties. There are several factors you want to make sure you understand when you look at these warranties, especially if you are looking into purchasing frieze carpet. For example, some of the wear warranties will have a specific amount of the face of the carpet for it to fall under the warranty. When buying frieze carpet, you will most likely not have to worry about this. But if you do have a problem, most warranties will state that 10% to 15% of the face, or every tenth string of yarn, must be missing.
Of course there are several other areas you need to check before buying your frieze carpet. You need to make sure you check the seams, bend, quality, and color when you have the sample of the carpet. You do not want to buy a carpet that is not going to look good in your home. You also want to make sure you understand the cost of the carpet. There are several points that you need to make sure you understand when it comes to the cost of your frieze carpet such as: furniture removal, delivery charge, preparation, materials, installation, and financing. These are all areas of cost you need to make sure you understand before purchasing your frieze carpet.

Frieze Carpet
If you are looking to remodel a high traffic area in your home, frieze carpet is a wonderful option for you. The word frieze is pronounced “fre-zay” instead of the very popular “freeze”. The fibers on this carpet curl in many different directions which make it harder for footprints and other messes to actually show up on the carpet. The twisted fibers give the carpet a nice contemporary look. Best of all, frieze carpet is not going to show those “wonderful” vacuum marks or footprints. This is due to the fact that the yarn is so tightly spun that it curls over. So instead of walking on the tips of the yarn, you are walking on the sides of it. This is great for families who are always on the go or if you have a particular room or hallway that is traveled through frequently.
It is generally made up of different man-made fibers as well as wool. Frieze carpet is one of the most durable, low-maintenance carpets around. It comes in several different colors and patterns, but the most popular colors for frieze carpet are several different shades of brown. Unfortunately, due to the tightly curled yarn, the patterns are limited and sometimes you may need to request a pattern to be made. It also comes in different densities. The most popular being the tight, neat look but you can also choose the loose, freeform look if you choose, which looks a lot like shag carpet. But both types of carpet are similar to shag carpet.
On average, frieze carpet usually runs between $1.65 per square foot to $2.95 per square foot, or $17 per yard to $19 per yard. Of course the actual price is determined by the company you are purchasing the carpet from and the type of fibers that are used to make it. I know this carpet is a little pricier than most of the other carpets, but keep in mind that frieze carpet has a high durability so it will last longer than most other carpets. Also on this note, adding a new carpet of any type will add value to your home, so in my opinion frieze carpet is a wonderful investment in your future. So if you are looking to save money in the long run and put more money in your pocket later, frieze carpet is the way to go for you.
