10. Resilient

11. Soft 1.Muffles noise, Insulates against drafts 2.Quality depends on: 1-fiber content; 2- construction; 3- depth of pile 3.Padding is necessary for: - shock absorption; 2- insulation; 3-decreasing noise; 4- increase life of the carpet 4.Textures – berber, frieze, plush, sculptured, shag 5.Fibers – nylon, olefin, polyester, acrylic, and wool 6.Density of pile - the closeness with which yarns are tufted, woven, or tied 7.

14. Frieze - An informal cut, curly texture because fibers are highly twisted, shows minimal foot marks, resistant, sturdy, durable.

15. Loop - Uncut, wears extremely well.

16. Sculptured - Combine various heights of cut pile and/or level loops, too much variety can cause poor resiliency, most effective when in a specific design

17. Cost and Calculations Flooring is priced per square foot or square yard How to figure it –Multiply rooms width by length (in feet) –Divide this number by 9 to find square yardage –Room measures 12ft X 10 feet. What is the square footage/yardage? 120 ft/13.3 yd

18. Don’t forget Installation Average Costs Stone/Tile -- $6.00 or more square foot Wood -- $4.00 or more square foot –May need to be finished as well Carpet -- $8.00 square yard usually included pad, tack strip and installation
