Carpet. Nylon or P.E.T. Polyester

Polyester or nylon? A common question when deciding "What carpet should I buy?"
The first question you need to ask yourself is what is more important to you?
 Are you worried about stains in the traffic areas, are you worried about the way it will hold up to
traffic, or is it both?
 There are two basic fibers that manufacturers us in the manufacturing of carpet.
Polyester and nylon. Now since I have been in the flooring industry for about
30 years, I sell  my customers what will have the best results in their situation.
So questions need to be asked.
                                                * Have you had carpet before.
                                                * If so, what did you like about it?
                                                * If so, what didn't you like about it?
                                                * Do you have children?
                                                * How long do you ecxpect it to last?
   With these few questions answered ,you can begin your quest for the perfect carpet.
Tomorrow i will begin the indepth breakdown on the different fibors.
 For now, answer these questions.                                         

Stairs, Spiral carpet installation.

Early next week, I am going to be doing an installation of carpeting on a spiral set of stairs.
Now I have seen some of the videos on line and it looks like there may be some improper ways
being show.
In the near future I will have to show you two different ways to install carpet with padding.
One includes tackstrip, which is also called tackless strip, and the other uses an electric
tacker or also called a Dou-Fast stapler.
 And there are two styles of installation. One is called "Waterfall", and the other is called "Hollywood style"

Notice how the carpet "tucks" under the stair tread on the Holly wood style.

And the set of stairs below Waterfall over the stair tread.
