What is the Lifespan of Carpet?

Monday, November 22, 2021 1:30 PM






Carpeting can be a fantastic addition to your home, especially if you need a soft, stunning option for any room. But if you're wondering about this material's potential lifespan, we have some information that could be very important as you shop for your materials, so follow along with us now.

The best floor covering for many is carpet


When you choose carpet, you'll find a wide variety of benefits, including a beautiful appearance, many added benefits that help you create the perfect flooring for your home, and a lifespan that can work to your great advantage. But what is the lifespan of carpet?

There is no precise answer to this question, as lifespan depends on specific factors such as fiber choices combined with your home's activity level. The quality of the product is also a factor, as is whether you are regularly cleaning and maintaining it.

For instance, if you choose a high-end Karastan carpet with built-in stain protection, keep it clean and well maintained, and use area rugs in the areas with high traffic, you could easily see a lifespan of up to 20 years or even more. However, a cheaply made nylon rug used in a busy space and only cleaned occasionally may not even last a year, so visit us to find out exactly what you need for the best carpet lifespan.
