Many types of carpet are suitable for the entire house. Here are some helpful tips;-
- Hall, Stairs and Landings
In our experience, these take a very heavy pounding and the twisting action that our feet exert when climbing or descending stairs means an resilient carpet is required with a heavy or extra heavy domestic rating.
- The Dining Room
This area is normally subjected to less constant use but probably more importantly the carpet in this room must be able to withstand spills and stains.
- The Lounge
This area is usually in constant use and your carpet may need to be extra hard wearing if you have an active family or pets. The carpet will receive higher use around the seating areas and into doorways.
- The Kitchen
Obviously this requires a specialist carpet which is both hard wearing as well as water/stain resistant and very easy to clean. Vinyl type floorings are ideally suited for these areas.
- The Bathroom
The recommendation is that carpets consisting of a man-made pile and a waterproof backing are fitted. In practice however natural fibre products such as wool are extensively used.
- The Bedroom
This area generally gets the least of any wear. People can sometimes fit a more luxurious carpet that has a more comfortable feel but be aware these may not have the same resilience.
