In house building or renovation, the floor is one thing that flippers or house builders focus on. They have to make sure that the flooring can adapt to the changing weather of the state. They also have to make sure that it is aesthetically appealing.
There are different kinds of flooring to choose from. This includes laminate floor, hard wood flooring, and carpet flooring. Carpet flooring though have benefits that other flooring options don’t provide.
The following are top benefits of carpet flooring:
1. Comfort
Carpet flooring acts as a shock absorber. When you have been walking or standing on concrete, ceramic or hardwood flooring, your body tends to feel sore. This is because your body absorbs the hard impact you make at every step.
The flexibility and cushioning of the carpet provides shock absorption. If the carpet has an under pad, the effect of absorption is increased.
It is not only soft to touch but it is healthier for the body.
2. Safety
Carpets can prevent some falls especially on the stairs. They also provide a soft landing surface than hardwood floors. Laminate floors and ceramic tiles are slippery which can cause falls and accidents.
Carpets are a better choice especially in the bedrooms, baby’s room, living room, and the staircase. For the stairs, the carpet to be used is ideally on the 50-60 ounce range. This type is not too thick but still provides durability.
3. Warmth
For places that are often exposed to harsh cold weather, carpet flooring is the best choice. Carpet flooring provides insulation that is better than others.
Thicker carpets provide a higher insulation factor. For carpets that have under pads, they provide higher over-all insulation. Since carpet reduces heat loss, homeowners can save costs associated with heating in their house. This includes heater, natural gas and electricity.
4. Style
Interior design magazines mostly feature different styles of hardwood and laminate flooring, but carpets also have a style of their own. They present the essence of comfort and luxury. Carpets can both be elegant and casual.
The way the carpet is laid on a room can provide a different feel. For a formal room such as an office or interview room, you can place a short-pile and patterned carpet. If you want to have a casual feel, consider laying out a long frieze carpet.
5. Noise-reduction
Carpets are not only easy on the feet; they are also quieter than other flooring. Carpets absorb noise much better than other flooring such as hard wood floorings. If you need better acoustics for work or for movie marathon nights, carpet floorings are your best option.
6. Health Reasons
Carpets immobilize and trap allergens, such as dust and tiny food particles from being breathed in. Hardwood floors leaves these allergenic particles settled on the surface wherein they are easily stirred and circulates with the air in the room.
Carpets have many wonderful benefits that not only help homeowners save money, but they also help their overall health.
