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.
