The elements of the outdoors easily make their way inside by way of shoes, coats, or even the wind. Mud, snow, dirt, and even pet dander can make a beautifully pristine carpet look worn down as the years pass, so what can you do? If you\u2019re planning to make a change to these high-traffic areas of your home, consider the following options when determining which flooring to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Stick with Carpet?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be wondering if it\u2019s worth the time and effort to replace old carpet flooring with a newer style or if you should switch to something like hardwood or vinyl. While that is certainly an option, the benefits of carpet are many, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Greater safety for young children who may be learning to walk or are prone to falls<\/li><li>Less noise than hardwood floors<\/li><li>Increased warmth within your home, making it possible to walk across the floor without slippers to keep your feet warm during those colder months<\/li><li>A comfortable flooring beneath your feet<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Carpet Stands Up to High-Traffic Best?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If new carpet is what you plan to go with, it\u2019s best to spend some time doing your research to know how best to spend your upcoming investment. After all, you don\u2019t want to put down the same type of carpet only to have to replace it later for the same reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When looking at the high-traffic areas of your home, it is best to consider the following options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nylon Carpet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Known for its durable shape and ability to protect against spills and stains, nylon carpet allows you to feel more confident in the floor beneath your feet. Whether it\u2019s pets, kids, or a sudden spill caused by yours truly, these carpets are extremely versatile in style, color, and pattern and are considered a cost-effective solution. Its fibers are super absorbent, making it difficult for spills to seep into the carpet and cause stains. This is probably one of the most attractive aspects of nylon carpet and is often a huge selling point for interested buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wool Carpet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A timeless favorite is wool carpeting. Used on stairs and in living rooms for centuries, it is great for keeping your feet warm on those cold, wintery days. Considered eco-friendly, it is a renewable material that is also hypoallergenic, making it possible for individuals with serious allergies to enjoy softer, warmer flooring with ease. It\u2019s also highly absorbent, so you don\u2019t have to worry about stirring up dust and pet allergens the next time you walk across the floor. You can simply vacuum them up with no problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you talk with professionals and do your own research, it\u2019s best to consider what is known as a \u201clow-pile\u201d carpet that has short fibers that are flat, smooth, and firm to the touch. These will ensure your high-traffic areas stand the test of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Company<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prestige Floors is a small, family-owned and operated business based in Keller, TX.
