Why Choose Carpets as Floor Coverings?

Carpet is one of the most practical, fashionable and versatile choices of flooring, and accounts for more than half of all flooring purchases that are made every year. It offers a number of benefits over other floor surfaces, such as improved underfoot comfort, higher energy savings, greater sound and heat insulation, and increased safety.

Low Cost

Carpet doesn't have to cost a lot of money, as it offers an economical alternative to the other types of expensive flooring. Even with professional installation, you won't pay nearly as much as you would for hard surfaces.

Treating Surface Problems

Adding carpet to a room can disguise any existing damage to the floor and also hide any other problems such as warped floors. The thicker density the carpet, the more problems it will be able to hide.

Increased Sound Insulation

Carpets are excellent at reducing noise in the house, which can be a benefit for the people who live in the property, but also for neighbours who happen to live in an apartment below.

Carpet works to dampen noise in three ways:

1. Reduces surface noise from foot traffic.
2. Absorbs airborne sound.
3. Blocks transmission of sound.

Greater Comfort

Carpet is the best choice you can make for your bedroom, family room, and other areas where you need warmth and comfort underfoot. Unlike hard surfaces, carpet can keep you comfortable if you decide to sit or lay down on it.

Improved Safety

Carpet offers a slip resistant surface that will prevent accidents, along with a natural cushion to soften the blow in the event that someone does fall. Its cushioning properties also help to decrease stress on joints.

Higher Energy Saving

Both carpet and carpet underlay will provide an extra layer of much needed insulation between the floors of your home, and can greatly improve heat retention in a room, thus reducing energy bills.

Improved Health

Research has proven that carpet can improve the quality of air by trapping allergy causing dust and allergens if it is properly vacuumed, cleaned and maintained.

Dust is trapped by the fibres of the carpet, and unlike hard floor coverings, it stays there until it is hoovered away, rather than being wafted back into the air.

Greater Flexibility

Carpet is the primary foundation in almost any room. Because it is available in a variety of different colours and textures, it helps to create an unlimited number of possibilities for decorating. From the rich solids to neutral tones, carpet is the first step you can take to make your home look better than ever.

Easy to Care For

The carpets of today are more stain resistant than they have ever been in the past, which makes cleaning even the worst spills easier than ever. No matter type of spill it may be, there is usually a way to clean it up.

Greater Life Span

The carpets of today are very durable and can outlast most other types of flooring available on the market. All you have to do is select a type of carpet that has a life span of five - 30 years or more, which is very common nowadays.
