Carpet Foot-Traffic Test

What Grade of Carpet Should I Buy?

 

Take my free Carpet Foot Traffic Test to find out! Learn how to determine what Grade of Carpet you should select that is designed to meet your needs, goals and lifestyle. Your new carpet will wear out too fast unless the carpet you choose is capable of withstanding your home's unique level of foot-traffic.  

 

I created this simple test to help you determine your level of foot-traffic based on several key variables. Once you know where you stand, you can use my Carpet Durability Chart to help identify the right carpet that will meet your needs and goals.

 

 

Test Directions:

 

This test helps define your level of foot traffic you have in the main living areas of your home. To determine your Carpet Foot-Traffic Score, answer the following 6 questions carefully and add up your points:
