It can be overwhelming walking into a store, seeing hundreds of samples to choose from, and thinking how am I supposed to narrow this down to one selection?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I like to start by asking customers a few fact gathering questions that tell me more about their home. After about 20 minutes the process goes from overwhelming to a customer happily leaving the store with a few samples to select from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this blog post I will discuss what to consider when purchasing a stair runner (and how to narrow down the selections!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our most frequently asked question (and a GREAT question to ask!) is what will wear best on steps? SHORT, TIGHT & DENSE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Short<\/strong> \u2013 the shorter the fiber the less matting down over time<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tight<\/strong> \u2013 the tighter the twist the less \u201cblooming\u201d the carpet will have over time. Blooming refers to the unraveling of fibers on the face of the carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dense<\/strong> \u2013 the more fibers you have supporting each other the less likely they will mat down over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you combine these 3 things along with a well wearing fiber you have the makings for a great wearing runner!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Think of these 3 things<\/em><\/strong> when it comes to a well wearing carpet meant for heavy traffic and wear\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
