Preventing Damages To Carpet Caused By Furniture

Damages to your carpet caused by furniture can be prevented. Damaged carpet can diminish the quality of the room it in. In general it doesn't look good and can make a bad impression if it's at the office. Damages come from regular use of furniture on the carpet. The friction and abrasion can cause the carpet pile to thin and break. Here are some preventive measure you can try.

When the carpet is installed you should have a shock absorbent under pad beneath the carpet. This offsets pressure and friction caused by frequent foot traffic. It also offsets pressure from the furniture placed on top of the carpet. Even if the furniture doesn't get moved or shifted it still exerts pressure from gravity by just resting on the surface.

Chairs are another source of carpet damage. They shift and drag on top of the carpet. In the long run this will cause the carpet to thin and the pile will break off. Placing a plastic protective sheet beneath the chair will protect the carpet and make it easier to move the chair.

Even with these protective measures you should still rotate the placement of furniture on your carpet. This allows the carpet fiber to breathe. Annual carpet cleaning is also important for providing a deep cleaning for the carpet and renewing the carpet material.
