Which carpet flooring is ideal for high-traffic areas?


Did you know there's carpeting that's perfect for high-traffic areas? If not, we want to take the time to share this information with you as you start your remodeling adventure.

Durable carpets exist, and they can easily suit your busy lifestyle. Here are some facts to get you started towards your best flooring results.

What makes a durable carpet?


For durable carpets, starting at the fiber level is essential for the best results. For example, nylon is an excellent choice for crush and wear-resistant, and polyester has a reputation for stain resistance.

But if you want complete peace of mind, choose a floor covering fiber with built-in stain protection. This never wears off or washes away, even with many professional cleanings.

Yes, you can add protection after the carpet installation is complete. But this can wear off and release allergens into your air.

Take advantage of your options


If you have children, pets, or both, you'll want to take advantage of this durable carpet choice. With professional installation, it can last more than 20 years.

You can add protection by placing a few mats or area rugs in your busiest spaces. This keeps wear off the carpeting surface entirely for as long as your floors are in place.

A great maintenance routine is another way to protect your floors. Be sure to clean daily or as necessary, and bring professional cleaners every 12 to 18 months.
