These prices are for the product only. They don't include the price of carpet cushion (or other underlayment) or the price of installation, which can vary widely by region, by installer experience level, and by scheduling demands. You'll want to discuss with your salesperson the prices and options available to you on both cushion and installation.

You'll also want to note that some flooring retailers price their products by square foot and some by sqare yard. Make sure that you're comparing equal measurements when trying to decide on one choice over another.

Star Selection System

Making the best choice is written in the stars.

Shopping for carpet offers many different options. Without a system to accurately compare them, they can start to look alike. Shaw's Star Selection System makes it easy.

The Star System groups product features, price ranges, and warranty packages into three easy-to-understand categories: 3-Star, 4-Star, and 5-Star. You'll find the star rating on showroom labels of all Shaw residential brands. Although there are a few exceptions within categories, the packages of features and benefits for each of the star ratings are outlined below:

PERFORMANCE

loop image Hexapod Traffic Rating 4.5

On a scale of 1 to 5, this carpet receives a 4.5 on a Hexapod test, which evaluates appearance retention after simulated foot traffic.

Shaw's performance rating is based on an international test method known as Hexapod. This procedure evaluates appearance retention of carpet.

The instrument used to test the carpet is composed of a circular rotating drum with carpet placed on the inside. Also placed inside the drum is an eight-pound steel ball with six pods. As the drum rotates, the ball falls on the carpet face, simulating footsteps.

After the standard number of rotations, carpets are then assessed using the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) performance rating scale. The lowest rating of 1 means "severe change in appearance" and the highest rating of 5 means "no change in appearance."
