We are looking at building a new house. Just curious as to whether anyone here might have any experience with Frieze or shag style carpeting? We definitely need to stay away from berber style as with having a little one and a couple small dogs it doesn't take long for a loop to get pulled up and ruin a section of carpet (first hand experience).
We walked through a showhome with the Frieze or shag carpet and it sure does feel nice. Plus it looks like an added bonus would be that the wear would show a lot less from a possible pulled strand or fibre from the dogs/kids.. I'm sure its a lot tougher to keep clean because of how deep it is though?
Anyone have this kind of carpet or know anyone else with it. Just curious as to the wear on it and if you would change your decision after having it or wish that you had gone with it? Thanks.
In an ideal world with us winning the lottery the entire house would have hardwood/tile but for the meantime the upstairs will most likely need to be carpeted with us aiming to look at upgrading it in 5-7 years from now..
