Carpet is most popular flooring choice
Here in the U.S., carpet is by far the most popular choice in flooring, and for good reason.
Carpet warms a room, offers colors and designs that other flooring choices can’t, plus it quiets a room, cutting down on the echo that other flooring choices cause.
HOW POPULAR IS CARPET?
It covers roughly 70% all home floors.
It isn’t without its drawbacks though. Carpet has an average lifespan of about eight to ten years depending on traffic patterns and quality. In addition, carpet is the least durable choice in flooring when compared to ceramic tile and hardwood flooring.
So when choosing your flooring for your Fresno rental property, give consideration to the design effect you are looking to achieve and how soon you might need to replace the flooring.
Carpet has an average lifespan of about eight to ten years depending on traffic patterns and quality.

Thus, making standard carpet the least expensive choice now and over the life of the investment.
