Judging carpet quality.
Carpet oz weight.
You look into it more and the misleading carpet fibers are twice as tall as the durable carpet.
Most carpets have a face weight somewhere between 20 ounces and 100 ounces but the average face weight for a residential carpet is about 35 to 60 ounces.
The misleading carpet is the more durable carpet right.
Berber for example is most likely going to outperform a 28 oz.
For example a carpet with a 50 ounce face weight and a pile height of 1 2 an inch would have a density of 3 600 ounces per cubic yard 50 x 36 0 5 3 600.
And i think you can see where i m going with this.
The best level weighs in at 63 oz.
A higher face weight means more yarn says grable and more yarn makes for a longer lasting product as an example within one product line the good level carpet has a face weight of 40 oz.
The face weight of the carpet has no value as a criterion when comparing carpets of different styles but it is of some value when comparing two carpets in the same construction category.
Don t use one factor alone as an indicator of a carpet s overall quality.
Fiber face weight is not the same as total carpet weight which includes the weight of the carpet backing and the fiber face weight.
