Is carpet suitable for staircases?


Walking into the carpet store, you'll see a large assortment of colors, designs, and styles. You may wonder if that should be your choice for the stairs, especially now with many vibrant patterns, colors, and styles.

After all, the staircase may be the first thing people see when they enter your house. So, it should be a showcase.

Carpet
is one of the most popular floorings for stairs. It's both elegant and functional!

Carpeting provides cushioning to soften falls and reduces noise, such as footsteps. Consider these factors when choosing carpeting.

Fiber


This is the most critical decision you'll make when choosing a carpet. It has everything to do with both appearance and performance.

Stairs are heavily trafficked areas, so you need a fiber that's both durable and has excellent stain resistance. Nylon carpeting is a great choice, as is the triexta fiber.

Polyester has superior stain resistance. It's best for small, quiet families with no pets.

Olefin, mainly associated with loop styles, is stain resistant and durable.

Wool is durable and has superior soil repellency. In addition, it's somewhat absorbent, so spills need to be wiped immediately.

Safety


Whatever floor covering you choose must securely wrap around banisters, railings, posts, and treads.
It needs to provide a level foundation for the foot; otherwise, people can slip and fall down the stairs.
Low pile rugs, Berber, level loop, and cut and loops work well; they are durable and easy to keep clean.
