Question:

Best Carpet ?

Need to find the best carpeting that will not show quot;traffic patternsquot;. What material is best for this? Money is not a big concern.

Answer:

THE BEST CARPET THAT I HAVE FOUND WOULD BE BURBER. ITS VERY STIFF AND WILL NOT SHOW PEOPLE PRESENCE ON THE TOP OF IT.
Sod the carpet, go for a nice laminate look.
That would be Berber carpeting. It's not a plush comfortable carpet to walk barefoot on, but it's stiff and dense which makes it wear very well.
I love my carpet have had it about 4 years.. its made of recycled plastic milk cartons, according to my carpet dealer they are all making this type of carpet now, but mine was from Mohawk. There are certain letters on it I think its PET, ask your carpet dealer. It will not stain at all.. I really don't see any traffic marks and part of the carpet is in an area between 2 doorways that gets a lot of traffic. It looks like a normal wool/ polyester carpet it feels just as soft but has great durability, I highly recommend it! The other type I would recommend is berber.. its not as soft.. and if you have pets it wouldn't work like my carpet(cats like to scratch on it and it will stain) but it won't show a traffic pattern its very strong and used in more office settings than homes.
You want a very low pile, looks pretty much like outdoor carpet (that green stuff) if you know what I mean. But if money is no concern I would go with a company that recycles carpet where they come in periodically and replace it (so ware and stains are no problem) with new recycled carpet. These carpets are better for the environment and have lower VOC's.
