Things to consider when choosing a carpet
When you are deciding on a carpet for your home, you need to consider the colour, style and the texture (or the “finish”) of the carpet. Each carpet has features that make it suitable for certain areas of your home. The perfect carpet for you will meet your personal requirements, your lifestyle and the location.
The flooring in areas of your home with ‘high traffic’ need to work hard. Hall ways and boot room/utility rooms tend to be those areas of high volume and need to be able to stand up to all the things that life throws at it – mud, pet hair, food and much more! In the same way that you would consider wall coverings that need to work hard in these areas to hide marks and scrapes or to be easily cleanable, so you would do so with the flooring. And if you are looking at carpeting these areas then consider technologically advanced carpets on the market that enable you to spot clean easily. Abingdon Carpets offers a huge choice in its StainFree collection and Balta has introduced its StainSafe and Leonis collections, designed with family living in mind. Other good tips include laying textured carpets, patterned carpets, or twist pile carpets, all which are durable, resilient and quite forgiving!
We can give you advice on the best carpet for your needs. Remember, the best way to keep your carpet looking nice for longer is regular vacuum cleaning!
