Plush Carpet Prices
Plush carpeting is a type of cut pile carpet that can be distinguished by its smooth and dense weave. The cut of the pile often resembles a freshly cut lawn. It is lower and denser than other types of carpet materials such as Saxony. It is available in a variety of styles and colors and can offer many advantages to homeowners who choose to have this type of carpet installed.
The Costs
-
Minimum: $610
-
Maximum: $780
The price of plush carpeting greatly depends on the type of material that is used. Discounted plush carpeting can cost anywhere from $390 up to $490 while premium grade can range in cost from $840 up to $1,070 for 500 square feet. Homeowners who are interested in luxury or designer-grade plush carpeting can expect to pay anywhere from $930 to $1,180 for their carpet materials.
Different Plush Carpeting Materials
Carpet can be made from a variety of synthetic and natural materials that range from basic to designer quality. Four of the most common materials are:
-
Nylon: This carpeting material is very soft, stain-resistant and durable. Nylon is the most popular choice among homeowners because of its affordability and long-lasting resilience.
-
Polyester: With its ability to hold vibrant colors without fading, polyester carpet is an excellent choice for designer purposes. It is also non-allergenic and generally constructed out of recycled materials, which makes it an eco-friendly choice. The fibers tend to flatten easily, which does not make it a good option for high-traffic areas in the home.
-
Polypropylene: This material is almost as soft as nylon and highly resistant to shedding, mildew and stains. The fibers are strong and durable, making polypropylene a good choice for homes with children and indoor pets.
-
Wool: The most luxurious carpeting material, wool is all-natural and long-lasting. It is extremely soft and comfortable to walk on, making it desirable for higher-end homes. This type of flooring is very expensive but is not stain resistant. There are some manufacturers who are now combining wool with synthetic fibers to create flooring that is as soft and luxurious as wool carpeting, yet affordable and stain-resistant.
Advantages and Disadvantages
There are several key advantages to having plush carpet installed, and these benefits have helped make this type of carpeting extremely popular among homeowners. Plush carpeting provides plenty of comfort at an affordable price. Since the construction of the material requires small tufts to be closely spaced, plush carpet has a cushioning effect that is present without the addition of a pad underneath. As far as maintenance goes, plush carpeting is an ideal option. Usually all types are soil and stain resistant. This type of carpeting also has protective chemicals added to the surface of the fibers that work to repel stains caused from spills. These chemicals also prevent tracked-in dirt from sticking to the fiber.
There are a few disadvantages associated with plush carpeting that homeowners should be aware of before investing in this type of carpeting material. The level of carpet fiber ends in the pile, which is not good for high-traffic areas. Plush carpeting also has a tendency to show tracks left behind by vacuuming or footsteps, which can be an unattractive aspect for some people.
For many, the benefits of having plush carpet installed greatly outweigh the disadvantages. Keeping the floor cleaned on a regular basis can help the carpet to look its best for many years to come. This form of flooring can offer plenty of warmth and comfort and is considered ideal for bedrooms, dens and living room areas.
