Carpeted floors are a great addition to any property. However, when as they wear over time, the change in quality can be more apparent than with vinyl or laminate flooring. To help our domestic and commercial flooring clients, here are some signs that you should replace your old carpet with a new carpet or other surfacing option.
While carpets do last a considerable amount of time, they don’t last forever. With good maintenance, many high-quality carpets can last up to and beyond 10 years, but if your carpet is 15 years or older, a new carpet fitting could be on the cards. As experienced flooring fitters, we know that dirt and debris buildup in the fibres can make it difficult to keep your carpet clean over time. Eventually, there comes a point where having a new carpet fitted or other form of vinyl or laminate flooring can be a more valuable choice for your Bracknell property.
The fibres in a carpet are supported by padding underneath it. This helps with insulation, protection and comfort; when this padding becomes worn, the overall quality of the carpet deteriorates with it. If you notice any wrinkles, unevenness or a crinkling noise when walking over it, this may mean that your carpet padding has become worn out. Additionally, if your carpet feels flatter and thinner than before, it’s likely lost its plush appeal and is suffering from worn padding.
It’s normal for a carpet to lose its colour gradually over time or for stains and burns to appear based on use. While professional carpet cleaners can restore colour and remove stains in most cases, some may be too difficult to eradicate entirely. If your carpet is no longer in suitable condition, you may consider a new carpet fitting or a more durable and water-permeable option, such as laminate flooring, luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) or vinyl flooring.
