Stains and wear and tear on a carpet can make a house look dirty, no matter how clean it is. A carpet is only expected to last 10-15 years from installation. Areas that see the most wear are typically the hallways, stairs and living areas.
For the home, carpet is a very popular choice of flooring because it is an excellent heat and sound insulator and can even help improve the indoor air quality of the house. Carpeting is intended for living rooms, bedrooms, stairs, dining rooms and more.
Carpet padding underneath carpeting can degrade and age. The life span of carpet padding depends on the material, but even the best urethane padding lasts 20-25 years. It often makes sense to replace the carpet at the same time as the padding.
When it comes to the quality of your home's carpet, professional installation makes all the difference. Choosing the right material is essential, however choosing quality installers can drastically improve your carpet's lifespan.
It takes around 24 hours for the carpet to be fixed completely to the floor, however, from the moment the carpet is completely glued to the floor, people can walk on it. It is not recommended to place furniture until 24 hours after the install is complete.
