I understand carpets are made of different fibres, nylon, wool etc. What type of carpet do you recommend will last longest, especially in high traffic areas?
For high traffic areas I would recommend a nylon. Nylon is very durable against wear and tear, easily died so you have a larger color selection than wool and all are stain treated. Wool is also very resilient and performs well in high traffic areas as well – its only real downfall is its stain resistance. Wool does not come with the same stain treatments as synthetic fibers and protein stains like tea and coffee are particularly difficult to remove.
