I've not posted here in a while, but I seem to remember we had some carpet experts on the forum. I'm trying to select between two carpets, and could use some thoughts. With the exception of the material type (Anso Nylon vs Polyester) all the rest of the specs seem to be virtually identical. I know the nylon has a longer expected wear life, I'm trying to decide if it's worth 20% more to buy it (roughly $600 over 810 sqft.)
This will be on three upstairs bedrooms (2 kids + guest), a landing at the top of the stairs, and the stairs themselves. Traffic will be limited to the two kids for the most part.
We are looking at Dreamweaver Trendsetter II and Shaw Elemental Mix II (nylon). Here are the key specs (polyester listed first) separated by commas. What would you do?
Gauge: 5/32, 3/16
Density: 2525, 2531
Pile Height: 0.68, 0.68
Face Wt: 48, 48
Twist: 6, 5.75
Stain: Soil/Stain Shield, RX2
