\nFirst and foremost,\u00a0a carpeted floor is a safer floor<\/strong>. The soft surface and cushioned under-padding not only reduce the impact of a fall, but also the likelihood of it happening in the first place. Carpet is inherently slip-resistant, meaning it\u2019s harder to slip and fall.<\/p>\n
\nIf you live in a busy home with lots of traffic, you know how loud wood or laminate floors can be.\u00a0Carpet stifles noise and reduces echoes in three ways<\/strong>; absorbing the impact of foot traffic, soaking up room sounds and echoes and finally, by blocking sound from carrying between floors (especially helpful in condo apartments or multi-family homes).<\/p>\n
\nCarpet provides excellent warmth underfoot, making it a great choice for chilly bedrooms or stark offices.\u00a0Carpet also acts as an insulator<\/strong>. The combination of the carpet and its under-padding acts as an additional layer of insulation in your home and – depending on the weight and grade of your carpet – it can even add to the R-value of your home.<\/p>\n
\nMost\u00a0carpets made today are made to be highly stain-resistant<\/strong>, meaning cleanup is easy. With just a damp cloth or a quick vacuuming, your floors look as good as new. Because carpets trap dust and allergens, they can also improve the air quality in your home as long they\u2019re properly cleaned and vacuumed on a regular basis.<\/p>\n
\nCarpet isn\u2019t limited to just a few colors or grains.\u00a0You can get carpet in any style, design, color or pattern that you want<\/strong>. Because of its versatility, carpet fits in well in any design scheme.<\/p>\n
\nTypically,\u00a0carpet costs significantly less<\/strong>\u00a0than other types of flooring like tile, marble or hardwood. Even with professional installation, carpet tends to cost much less than other types of flooring options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
