The Benefits of Carpet for Your Home

• Sound Barrier

Sound travels, especially in homes with solid flooring. 

Carpet is a great way to implement sound absorption throughout your home and create a more peaceful living environment. 

• Health

Carpet locks in small dust particles between vacuuming sessions and will help minimize your home’s free-flowing dust/debris, which is excellent for indoor air quality.

• Comfort 

Carpet is much gentler on your body than hard flooring. 

Because of its soft feel and padding, carpeting offers quite a bit of shock absorption that most people don’t even realize they need on a daily basis.

• Energy Savings

Carpeting has low heat conduction and works as a neutral thermal insulating heat barrier. 

Because of carpet’s thermal efficiency, you stand to save between 3-4% on heating utilities throughout the winter, which roughly equates to about 30 days worth of heating energy saved.

• Maintenance 

Carpeting maintenance is generally quick and easy. With regular vacuuming and stain control, your carpet’s plush feel and appearance will last for many years.  

Choosing the Right Carpet 

When choosing the right carpet for your home, there are many factors you need to consider:

Room Use 

• What kind of room are you planning to put carpet in, and is it a good fit? 
• Is it a high traffic room you are considering, and how will that affect the carpet? 
• Is there direct access from outdoors nearby that may affect your carpet’s cleanliness? 
• Do you have pets that may contribute to wear and tear?

Knowing the answer to these questions will allow a professional to guide you through the carpet buying experience and point you in the right direction as far as durability and practicality. 

Color & Style

• What color/style is your kitchen and bathroom flooring, and does your carpet’s color need to compliment it? 
• What style of carpet fiber/stitching do you like? If you have pets, a carpet with loop stitching may be a poor choice. Animals tend to get their nails caught in the looped carpeting, which may harm them and your carpet.
• Is the room large or small? Specific color schemes and designs may affect the appearance of a room’s size. 
• What color are your walls, furniture, and decor, and how will that affect your carpeting choice? 
• Do you want to brighten up your rooms with a light-colored carpet, or add depth by choosing something darker? 
• Do you want warm-toned carpeting or cool-toned? 

Fibers & Warranties 

Fiber choice and warranties are crucial when choosing to carpet your home. Be sure to consider the types of warranties offered through each manufacturer.

If you do have children or pets, consider durability in comparison to messes and spills. You should factor in stain resistance, warranty coverage for damage, and ease cleanups. 

Quality

Quality is imperative.

After all, carpeting is an investment, and the grade of each product you consider should be assessed carefully, as not all are designed equally.  

You should also consider:

• Density
• Padding needs
• Whether or not the carpeting is Green Label Plus – (Click Here to Learn More)
