On the label of every Queen carpet residential style, you'll find an easy-to-find, easy-to-understand "Performance Rating."
The scale is from 1 to 5, and it represents the Queen carpet's ability to withstand extended wear. A perfect rating of 5 means that after rigorous, industry-standard testing, the carpet maintained the appearance of brand new carpet.
A Queen carpet with a rating of 4.0 or above is considered outstanding. These Queen carpets are recommended for heavy traffic locations, including family rooms and children's areas.
A Queen carpet rating of 2.5 to 4.0 is predicted to provide normal durability. These carpets can be used in most home applications if properly maintained and cleaned.
A Queen carpet rating below 2.5 should be considered for light to moderate traffic areas only, such as bedrooms.
It's not practical to associate years with the durability rating. There are so many variable factors--area of the home, traffic patterns, number of inhabitants, level of proper maintenance, etc.--that what might be only 3 years of acceptable performance to one could be a lifetime to another.
Queen carpets rating results from rigorous testing that conforms to industry standards. Some of the factors that determine a Queen carpet's performance rating include the following:
- Face weight - More ounces per square yard is better
- Twist - Higher twist helps resist crushing & mattin
- Density - Higher density improves comfort and performance
