any thoughts on this Nylon?

[Mikey P]

Going to put some in the bed room..

My nylon in my BR is going on 20 years old. Still looks great.

 

[Mikey P]

I've never lived any where for twenty years..

I don't know enough on how good (high) are the twist and density numbers.
Nylon 6.6. though, is a hardy durable fiber.

 

[dealtimeman]

Sure what color?

 

[Mikey P]

29 Summery, can't you read?

 

[Able 1]

What happened to the smart strand LOVE?

 

[dealtimeman]

Yes but I can doesn't mean I now know what 29 summary is? Is it brown tan? Black?

 

[Mikey P]

Taupeish

Bring it to the fest so we can check its soil and stain retardency rating. If it makes it through that week you got yourself some kickbutt stuff that will outlast the next mars mission.

Royalty does produce some quality carpets... I haven't seen that one first hand though...

 

[billyeadon]

Royalty is a high end mill and always preferred 6,6

 

[Paul Demers]

That is very good carpet and should last and look good for 15-20 years. Density of 3,523 is very, very good. Density of 2,500 or more is minimum for 15 year carpet. Twists is close to 7 which is good, but 7 would be better. Twist less than 4 not as good. 6.6 nylon is good.


Face weight should be well over 50 oz

Mikey,
For some reason a style named "decadence" seems to fit you real well.

 

[Mikey P]

Now why would you say that?

 

[Mikey P]

"Elementary" is more appropriate, considering my 6th grade level of education..

Install it the other side up

I bought top end when we built our current home and I don't regret doing so. I'm a cheap dude but I bought cheap at my last house and it just didn't hold up as well as the carpet it replaced.

We've been here 6-years and it has done really well. Only the living room shows any signs of use and we use it like a family room. The family room gets infrequent use and is still pristine.

Install it the other side up

It won't wear as well.

 

[Pat Muller]

I had 60 ounce nylon installed in my house 23 years ago and it has held up extremely well.
It is starting to show some traffic lane grey due to abrasion

Can't go wrong with good nylon

I am sure it was those good Chemspec chemicals you used to clean it.

 

[handdi]

how is your smart strand holding up mr pay a lot

 

[Mikey P]

Very well.


I still recommend it to pissy pet owners

 

[dealtimeman]

So why the interest in the nylon if the smart strand is holding well in your own home?

 

[Mikey P]

Marty likes it better.

 

[hogjowl]

I'm his idol.
