In a home, the stairs and hallways tend to experience heavy foot traffic. Most people step in the exact same spots each time they walk through hallways and on staircases.

That being said, it’s obvious your carpeting is going to take a beating. You need the best stair and hallway carpet to hold up against the wear and tear.

Here’s what you should be looking for.

What’s a Good Carpet Type for Stairs and Hallways?

There isn’t really a single best carpet type for stairs and hallways, but there are some that work better than others. We would recommend a low pile carpet made out of polyester or nylon fiber.

There is a lot of debate as to weather polyester fiber or nylon fiber is better, but both types can work well for hallways and stairs.

Polyester Fiber

Carpets made from polyester fibers are beneficial in many different ways including:

  • Polyester is made from recycled plastic bottles, so it is eco-friendly and recyclable when it’s time to renew the floors again
  • There are multiple vivid color choices available to match almost any decor
  • Polyester fiber is abrasion, fade, and stain resistant, allowing it to keep its color and durability
  • If you’re on a budget, polyester fiber carpet is more affordable than most other carpeting

You’ll find low pile PET polyester carpet will work well for your hallway and staircase. Low pile carpets like  berbers or low pile plushes won’t mat down and ugly out as quickly.

Nylon Fiber

Nylon fiber carpets are strong and can handle a good amount of foot traffic as well. The fiber is also resilient and maintains a good look.

This fiber type offers some nice benefits including:

  • Excellent stain resistance and durability
  • Nylon is synthetic and resists abrasion and wear
  • Fibers bounce back up after being bent and stepped on

Both carpet types will make a good choice, but without a proper installation, it won’t last very long.
