Choosing Carpet for High-Traffic Areas

Choosing Carpet for High-Traffic Areas

When it comes to carpet floor coverings, high-traffic areas can present special challenges. Flooring for hallways, stairs, family rooms and other busy areas should be carefully chosen. These areas show evidence of traffic-related wear and tear sooner than other parts of the home.

Carpeting can provide a noise-reducing, cost-effective and comfortable solution for many high-traffic areas, but before you make your product selection, examine the characteristics that make some carpets more traffic-friendly than others. To find the best fit for your home, consider the pros and cons of each type.

Each style of carpeting has its own traffic-resistant benefits to offer. Cut pile tends to be more crush-resistant than other loose fiber piles. A short, tight freize cut does not show footprints or vacuum trails as easily as high-pile cuts. Tight loop styles keep dirt on the surface; this makes cleaning easier.

Multi-level loop styles offer a more dimensional look. Berber is made with thicker fibers for increased durability. All are suitable for high traffic. The preferences of the homeowner and the conditions the area will be subjected to help determine the best choice.
