Concept Of Outdoor Carpeting

by Perth Carpet Master Carpet Repairer & Restorer

Actually, carpet was made for bare feet. Especially in colder climates, solid floors used to be an unwelcoming wakeup call on the way to the shower or first cup of coffee. People choose to cover their floors with carpet not just for aesthetic appeal, but also for how it feels and reacts to pressure.

Isn’t it a great idea if you can enjoy that same feeling out in the patio, corridor or a porch? If you have any of these, where you spend a lot of time, outdoor carpet could be ideal for you.

Out of the green

In the past, outdoor carpet used to be described as: uncomfortable and green. Everyone remembers a porch or patio covered in fibrous, tough, dark green turf. Walking on such a carpet was like taking a stroll on a sea of toothbrush bristles. Today’s outdoor carpets are much diverse. They come in many varieties, textures and colours.

Indoor outdoor carpeting

It goes well with a screened in porch or patio. Indoor outdoor carpeting is designed to be tough and durable, yet can retain the comfort of its indoor counterpart. It certainly does a fine job of softening concrete or wood. This makes it not only good for enclosed outside spaces, but a smart choice for basements as well. It does not cost much and also requires minimum maintenance. If it is to be put in an especially damp area, make sure to purchase a variety with a waterproof marine backing. In case of any damage you should opt for carpet patching from professionals.

It’s great, spending time at patios and balconies

For covering a fully exposed porch or balcony, look for outdoor carpet made of polypropylene or olefin. This type of fibre is very resistant to moisture and mildew and can handle heavy footfall. While it is not as plushy as indoor outdoor carpet, it still provides a greater degree of comfort than wood or concrete. It protects bare feet from splinters and protects glass from shattering.

Outdoor carpet that is meant for full exposure is made from the same type of material. Fortunately, the way the fiber is woven into the carpet’s backing has evolved greatly, thereby improving the barefoot experience. It is also available in a wide variety of colours.

Planning for outdoor carpeting is a great option not just in occasions but also the year round. It keeps your feet safe in addition to providing you with a soothing experience.
