What Makes a Carpet Durable?

When choosing carpet, durability is one of the biggest factors in how happy you’ll be long term. A durable carpet should look great, feel comfortable underfoot, and hold up to real life, whether that’s kids, pets, guests, or daily foot traffic.

So, what actually goes into making a durable carpet?

It comes down to a combination of fibre type, construction, twist level, and maintenance. Some fibres naturally recover better from crushing, while others are more likely to flatten or show wear over time.

Fibre performance is key. Godfrey Hirst Triexta carpet is made from a unique, spring-like fibre that is designed to bounce back after vacuuming, helping it maintain its appearance even in busy homes.

Finally, durability isn’t only about wear. It is also about how a carpet handles everyday accidents. Spills, muddy footprints and pet messes can all affect how a carpet looks over time, so choosing a fibre with lasting stain resistance is a smart move.

Why should you consider Triexta as a durable flooring solution?

If you love the softness of carpet but need something that can handle everyday chaos, Triexta carpet is worth considering. It’s a popular option for households that want comfort without constantly worrying about wear, stains, or spills.

Triexta is a great fit for busy family homes, where carpet needs to handle running kids, school bags, snack spills and everything in between. It is also ideal for pet owners, especially if you’re dealing with muddy paws, fur, and the occasional accident.
