Crushing occurs when the carpet fibers lose their structural memory due to constant pressure. Pet Perfect® addresses this by utilizing fiber constructions with a high twist level, which provides better resistance to matting and crushing than looser, low-end styles. This makes the carpet a superior choice for entryways, hallways, and living rooms where people congregate. To further assist in resilience, we recommend periodically moving heavy furniture and using furniture pads to distribute weight. While the fiber itself is resilient, your carpet cushion also plays a critical role; a high-density, firm cushion supports the fiber structure and prevents it from 'bottoming out' under load. Proper maintenance, including regular vacuuming, allows the fibers to stand back up, which significantly extends the visual lifespan of your floor.
