Outdoor Carpet
Outdoor Carpet is great for balcony covering. It offers comfort, superior slip-resistant surface,
and aesthetic benefits.
Besides balcony, outdoor carpet is also perfect for your yachts, boats, pools, patios,
sidewalks, or vacation homes.
If outdoor living areas are to be carpeted, you need to consider the durability, maintenance and
tolerance of the weather conditions where you live. For outdoor carpet, consider those that
uses solution dyes because they tolerate sunlight better than other dyes.
The fiber used in the outdoor carpet also must resist sunlight and heat.
Polypropylene/olefin intended for outdoor use has been chemically
treated to resist sun damage. Untreated polypropylene/olefin deteriorates in the sun.
Outdoor carpet must also be constructed so moisture can drain away. It must be capable of being
washed with detergent and hose-rinsed. Jute-backed carpet will rot if used outdoors. If outdoor carpet
is used near a pool containing chlorinated water, it must be able to withstand the chlorine and
any other pool chemical used.
Since snow and ice can build up in your outdoor carpet, do not
invest in outdoor carpet for hoping to make the walkway less hazardous for winter walking.
The properly chosen outdoor carpet can be an asset to the outdoor living space in your home.
It may cut down on area maintenance too.
Many factors can influence your decision on choosing the outdoor carpet. Knowing what these factors
are before you go shopping or make your selection will help make the process less frustrating.
