Heavier carpets provide superior luxury, comfort and performance. Crossley's specifications are accurate and are conducted according to the accepted industry norms. Deciding on Density Density refers to how tightly carpet tufts are packed together, and bound into the carpet backing. Go with the highest density number that suits your budget and your individual needs. Twist is the number of times per inch that the carpet yarn is turned.
Twist affects the performance, texture and look of the carpet.
Generally, a higher and tighter twist count generates a more durable carpet with better appearance retention properties.

These systems are built into the carpet during the manufacturing process for optimum performance and warranty protection. Each Crossley carpet sample includes a durability rating.
