FIBER IS GOOD FOR YOU

It amazes me how commercial clients choose carpet based on how it looks. If one has not done the research or chosen the knowledgeable consultant, then one is certainly setting oneself up for failure. At least failure of the product.

I have been a commercial flooring consultant for over thirty years, a sad fact, I know. However, once you get fiber in the blood, it's hard to shake it.

There are two types of Nylon fibers in production today, with slight variations on both. The first and best, in my humble opinion, is Type 6,6. The second is a Type 6There are a couple of fiber manufacturers in the United States, and several carpet mills that produce their own fiber.

So here's the deal. You better know who makes the fiber, what the modified ratio is, what the cross section looks like, along with the color, pattern, construction, backing, installation method and understand what the results of that knowledge can present and how those features and benefits will impact your wallet.

It's confusing and costly if the wrong flooring product is specified.
If you are thinking about making an investment in new commercial flooring, give me a call. I can save you a lot of money and headaches.
