Choosing the Best Carpet

When remodeling or building a home in Ohio or elsewhere, don't choose carpet based on color. Instead, take the basic characteristics of a carpet's fibers and construction, as well as lifestyle, into consideration before buying.

Some of the best materials include the following:

  • Nylon: Most carpets today are made of nylon. A very durable and forgiving product, nylon is fairly easy to maintain and is available in various styles.
  • Olefin (or polypropylene): Olefin is often used in berber carpet. It is noted for being practically wear resistant because spots do not adhere to its fibers. However, the drawback is that this soft fiber scratches and mats down easily. I think it is the perfect basement carpet choice, and I have it in my own basement!
  • Polyester: Many polyesters today are made from recycled materials like 2-liter soda bottles. It has great stain resistance and doesn't mat down as easily as olefin. In addition, it is reasonably priced.
  • Wool: Wool is my grandmother's favorite carpet choice. Although wool is a very expensive product, it has a wonderful resiliency and the luxury of a natural product. It is not uncommon to see real wool products 20+ years old that still look almost new.

One Last Thought: Use my mother's rule of thumb and when deciding on carpet and paint chips take the samples home and look at them in the room with both natural and artificial lighting!

What's Happening in Dayton?

I am a 20 year resident of the Dayton, Ohio area near Wright Patterson Air Force Base and I know from personal experience there is a lot going on in Dayton, Ohio. For fun, The Greene in Beavercreek is great for dining out, watching a movie, laughing at a comedy club, or checking out the nightclub scene. Downtown Dayton there are many art galleries, especially in the Oregon District. Thai Nine is my favorite restaurant in the Oregon District, and I often have a glass of wine after dinner at the Wine Gallery and Cafe on 3rd Street. Brown Street, near the University of Dayton, is always filled with UD students in the restaurants and bars. The Shops of Oakwood along Far Hills Avenue is great for shopping for everything from groceries to pet supplies to clothing. You can get a bite to eat in the restaurants in Oakwood too. In Centerville, I highly recommend eating at Doubleday's for great pizza! There are many shops, restaurants, and a movie theater surrounding the Dayton Mall in the area also.

For more information on the Dayton, Ohio area or home buying and selling please contact me today.
