Carpet Question Corner - Carpet Q and A - 9th in a series
"What is TPI and Why Should I Care?" is the ninth in a series of banner ads developed to run on the flooring news website Talkfloor.com. The banners ads contain great information for consumers, from choosing the right carpet, to safeguarding a home’s indoor air quality, to keeping carpet clean and beautiful as new. Today's is about carpet and TPI - aka "turns or twists per inch".
Let’s go over the questions – and pay careful attention because there will be a quiz. ;-)
Carpet Question Corner #9: What is TPI and why should I care?
TPI or “turns per inch” is the number of times two or more yarns have been plied in an inch length. The more twists in the yarn, the more durability in the carpet – which means it will be less likely to unravel over years of usage. Most carpet yarns have 3.5 to 6.0 TPI.
A good TPI to look for: 4.50 to 4.75.
