Ease & Affordability

Carpet is easier, faster and cheaper to install than other types of flooring. A top-quality carpet can last about 10 to 15 years, but a carpet’s life can be extended with frequent vacuuming and steam cleaning once a year. Carpet is considerably less expensive than hardwood or tile materials. While it does need to be replaced every few years, the life of the material can be greatly extended by proper care and maintenance. This makes the long term cost of carpet affordable compared to other types of flooring.

Air Quality

A quality, certified carpet does not aggravate asthma and allergies. It actually acts as a passive air filter, trapping dust, pollen and other particles and removing them from the breathing zone. Studies show that people with asthma and allergies have seen symptoms improve with carpet. In fact, many carpets meet or exceed government indoor air quality regulations and are among the lowest VOC-emitting products on the market.

Warmth & Quiet

Carpet is quieter than hardwood floors and warmer in winter. Home owners enjoy the warmth and softness of carpet on bare feet. Carpet is a natural insulator, providing additional warmth in cold seasons.

Carpeted rooms produce less noise pollution. When installed on upper levels, the entire flooring surface is padded and insulated, so the noise from footsteps won’t easily pass up or down through the level.

Carpet also provides an aesthetic warmth with so many textures, colors and patterns to choose from.

Comfort & Safety

Carpet delivers an underfoot comfort important in health care.This can be especially important when standing for long periods of time, where harder wood floors can cause pain in feet, ankles, and knees. Carpet cushions slips and falls, making carpet a particularly safe flooring choice. With hardwood or tile, a trip or fall can result in injuries. With carpet you have a cushion running across the entire room, making damage from an accident much less likely.
