Question

Accepted Answer

BCC recommends choosing a carpet for hallways and stairs based on expected traffic, maintenance commitment and desired aesthetic. Densely constructed carpets and tighter weaves generally resist wear better; durable synthetic fibres and some woven wool constructions are commonly chosen for heavy-use zones. Underlay, correct installation and seam placement also affect long‑term performance on stairs and in narrow hallways. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins; current widths vary by product and should be confirmed. For up-to-date range, installation and pricing information contact BCC’s Taren Point showroom on 02 9526 6421 or visit Unit 3/46 Bay Rd, Taren Point.
