I need a very good, durable carpet for my house. Reasons:
-
My wife and I do a lot of floor sitting. I have a horrible back, and after hearing about the negative effects of constantly laying on couches and soft objects, I stopped being lazy and am actually forcing my body to move and work. This has considerably improved my back, but has considerably shortened the life of my current carpet. It's completely flat.
-
I sleep on the floor. Well really, I sleep directly on the carpet of my second story. Helps my back in a similar way. It's very flattened now, too, but it's just enough cushion.
-
I work from home and am constantly going downstairs, upstairs, downstairs, wearing the floors a lot.
-
I have a dog.
-
My wife paces a lot in the living room, constantly wearing down the carpet and pad.
I could install hard floors everywhere, but...
-
I worry about my dog getting traction on the floors as he ages.
-
I worry about sound issues and walking noises on the second floor.
-
I would have to buy rugs, which would just add to the cost.
I would prefer a DIY install. I'm looking at this particular one: https://philadelphiacommercial.com/products/carpet-tile/details/no-limits-tile/j0108/potential/69702
-
I think it's quite aesthetically pleasing.
-
These would be easy to clean.
-
These would be easy to replace if something would happen to a tile or two.
-
These are designed for hard wear.
I worry that...
-
They might be too rough feeling.
-
Selling my house in the future.
I understand that no matter what I go with, there will be buyers that don't like it. I just don't want everyone to pass on the house because of my flooring choices.
For those that have commercial carpet tiles installed already, how do like them?
I appreciate any inputs.
