Ann Arbor Carpets Explains how Your Carpet Cushion Extends the Life of Your Carpet!

Have you ever heard that you’re better off spending more on your carpet cushion than on your carpet?

It may sound crazy since you won’t see the cushion… but, it’s true!

Installing a higher quality carpet cushion with a moisture barrier can extend the life of your carpet in several ways:

Most household spills will be kept closer to the surface, protecting your subfloor

Clean up is easier and it stops stains from re-appearing

It allows water vapor to evaporate, decreasing the chance of mold and mildew

Ann Arbor Carpets carries Stainmaster carpet cushion in 8-lb density.

If you want to truly extend the life of your carpet, choose an 8-lb density cushion. Carpet fiber will not break down nearly as quickly in high traffic areas with 8-lb cushion!

Lush carpet padding will also make a huge difference in the comfort level of your floor. It improves insulation, allowing you to keep your home at a comfortable temperature, and it reduces noise!

Don't Risk Voiding Your Carpet's Warranty! Ann Arbor Carpets Offers Helpful Advice!

Have you recently purchased new carpet? Are you planning on installing new carpet?

You probably expect it to wear well and look good for years, right?

You’ve invested money and time, picking the perfect carpet to match your home and lifestyle.

So, do you know how to prevent voiding your carpet warranty?

You may have even tried to read the warranty (you know who you are!) and found it confusing … but don’t worry! The friendly staff at Ann Arbor Carpets – Flooring America is available to answer your questions about your warranty, as well as the care and maintenance of your new carpet.

Below, we‘ve shared a few general terms for carpet warranties. Ultimately, it’s very important to read and understand what your warranty specifically covers, because terms differ depending on the manufacturer, and the fiber content and style of your new carpet.

Clean it carefully!

Did you know that if you use a cleaning substance, or a cleaning system that’s not recommended for your carpet, you may void the warranty? Did you also know that normal foot traffic may require you to have your carpet regularly cleaned by a certified professional, at least once every 18-24 months to maintain warranty coverage?

Hold onto your receipt!

To qualify for repair or replacement, the original sales receipt or other documentation that demonstrates proof of purchase must be supplied.

Remember the date!

Your warranty begins from the date of installation and not from the purchase date. You may want to document the installation date on your receipt.

Not all padding is created equal!

To maintain the warranty, all carpet must be installed over proper cushion that meets the HUD UM 72A, Class 1 standards.

Don’t roll with it!

Warranties exclude carpet that has been put to abnormal use, or abused in any way. This includes chairs on wheels, which can tear or severely wear down your carpet. In addition, carpet that has been damaged by flood, fire, or smoke may also not be covered by the original warranty.

The one and only original!

Most warranties only apply to the original purchaser and installation site and are not transferable. However, Five-Star Rated product warranties ARE transferable.
