How to Choose the Best Carpet for High Traffic Areas – Top Tips from Tyrer Wholesale Flooring

When it comes to flooring, not all carpets are created equal. High-traffic areas like hallways, staircases, and living rooms demand carpets that are built to last. At Tyrer Wholesale Flooring in Lenexa, Kansas, we specialize in helping local homeowners choose the perfect carpet that’s both tough and stylish.

Here’s everything you need to know when choosing a carpet that can handle high traffic and still look fantastic.

💪 1. Durability & Material Matter Most

In busy areas, durability is king. Nylon is one of the best materials due to its resilience, stain resistance, and ability to bounce back from compression.

At Tyrer Wholesale Flooring, we carry:

• Nylon

• Triexta

• Polyester

• Wool blends for premium performance

🔍 2. Check Carpet Density & Pile Type

A denser carpet with a low pile (shorter fibers) handles foot traffic better and resists flattening.

Best types for high traffic:

• Loop pile (Berber): Ideal for hallways

• Cut pile with tight twist: Great for family rooms

📍 Our Lenexa flooring experts can show you real-life samples in-store for easy comparison.

🚫 3. Prioritize Stain Resistance

Life happens—especially in high-traffic zones. Look for carpets with built-in stain protection.

✅ Most of our carpets come with:

• StainGuard™ technology

• Moisture-wicking fibers

• Pet-friendly options

🎨 4. Choose the Right Color & Pattern

High-traffic areas benefit from darker shades and textured patterns that hide dirt and stains better than light, solid colors.

Choose a carpet that’s easy to maintain with regular vacuuming and occasional deep cleaning.

Tips:

• Use furniture pads to reduce wear

• Hire pros every 12–18 months
