tell us about the different types of
00:07
carpet
00:08
fibers and the advantages and
00:10
disadvantages and show us some of the
00:11
samples you brought
00:13
okay so yes so there are different types
00:16
of carpet fibers
00:17
the first one is the polyester that one
00:20
is a very common one that many people
00:22
know
00:23
that one the positives of that is that
00:25
it's a great option if you're trying to
00:28
sell your home or it's for a rental
00:30
property
00:31
because of the attributes it has where
00:34
it's um
00:35
it's easy to clean but as well with time
00:38
it that's kind of a negative of it where
00:40
it tends to show more wear marks it gets
00:43
more matted down
00:44
so that's why it's a good option if
00:46
you're trying to sell or for a rental
00:48
property because
00:49
customers that are interested in those
00:51
aspects can just remove it
00:53
or even so keep it for a little bit
00:55
amount of time so those are the aspects
00:57
of the polyester
00:59
i actually have a sample that we sell a
01:01
lot right now because we have it in
01:03
stock at fleming
01:04
this one is called it's from mohawk
01:07
sp960
01:08
the color linen this is an example of a
01:11
polyester
01:12
so it's a good um it's a very popular
01:16
look
01:16
and the feel of it is
01:20
the fiber is a little bit more of a
01:21
loose fiber so this is an example of a
01:23
polyester
01:24
there's also for example a nylon
01:28
that one is a little bit of a step up
01:30
it's going to get a little bit more in
01:31
price which is where
01:32
it gets i guess of a disadvantage but
01:34
the plus is that the quality goes
01:36
up in that it's great for high traffic
01:38
areas and even so with the new
01:41
new nylons that they're making right now
01:43
especially for example like the
01:46
shaw nylons they have a sort of
01:49
what they call the anso nylon or the r2x
01:52
in there
01:53
so it makes it good not only for high
01:55
traffic but also
01:56
for cleanability as well and most of the
01:59
nylons now are made that way
02:01
so it has in a way the number one the
02:04
high traffic-ness but it's also great
02:06
for cleaning as well with more nylons
02:09
then we have for example the triaxia and
02:12
this is actually something made from
02:14
mohawk it's also called the smart strand
02:17
this for me is actually one of my
02:18
favorite one because it's kind of
02:20
a fiber that has everything it's great
02:23
for cleaning it's great for high
02:24
traffic-ness
02:25
it's great if you have allergies for
02:27
pets
02:28
and the positive of this fiber in
02:31
comparison to the other previously to
02:33
mentioned
02:34
is that the staining sort of sits on top
02:36
and won't sink into the carpet
02:38
so i wanted to show you as well um
02:41
different types of ways of staining
02:45
where this is applied that's found in
02:47
this brochure that we
02:48
make sure to give customers when they
02:50
walk in so
02:52
these are examples of staining that
02:54
shows that aspect of the smart strand
02:57
for example right here there's if you
02:59
have maybe a tomato drink
03:01
or for example red wine especially now
03:04
in the holidays where
03:05
this would be a good option to to
03:07
consider buying just because it has
03:09
those great attributes to it
03:12
so those are the positives of the smart
03:14
strand there's also then
03:16
the wool carpet which is one of the more
03:19
expensive ones but it's more of a
03:20
natural fiber
03:22
so it's something that it would also be
03:24
great to consider
03:25
and finally there's also polypropylene
03:27
which is more of like an
03:29
indoor outdoor type of fiber which is
03:31
great if for example you want to have a
03:33
carpet outside on your porch
03:35
those would be the the uh positives of
03:38
the
03:39
um of the polypropylene because you
03:41
could put it outside for example and
03:43
and there are many designs now in days
03:46
that make it seem very elegant outside
03:48
even though it's a carpet that goes for
03:50
the outside aspect so
03:52
those would be options of the different
03:54
carpet fibers
