"VICTOR FEGHALI: Hi. This is Victor for ExpertVillage.com, and we are here at Foothill Carpet to show you how to buy carpet for your home. Some of the carpets here are--this is an example of a berber carpet and it has two loops on it like a thicker loop and a smaller loop, and this would come in a variety of colors like every other carpet does. Some of them come up to 52 colors per quality. So there is a lot of--for everybody's decor or whatever their room style is, there's a color for them. Some carpets have a specific pattern. This would be probably for a dining room setting or a family room setting because it's not for every room in the house. You have to have the proper area to use this type of carpet. So these are patterned and there's all kinds of patterns. Now, this carpet is a cut berber. It has different types of colors in it, and it gives you lighter and darker shades. This is normally good for hiding foot traffic. It hides the stains better, so if you don't want to see a very little spot on the carpet, these would be good qualities to go with. And they come in different thicknesses, a lot of colors, beiges, blues, greens to go with every house, every style. Some are denser. And the closer the weave, the longer the carpet is going to last. Because when you step on the carpet, it's not going to crush it down. It has more support from every fiber, so it's going to last longer."
