What makes carpet such a great option for homeowners?

• Unlike hardwood, vinyl, laminate, and tile, carpeting is more supportive under your feet. It even acts as a shock absorber. But beyond being comfortable to walk on, it is also a great choice if you like to sit or lie down on the floor, or if you have children who like to play on the floor.

• Carpets can be beneficial in homes with small children, pets, and elderly individuals, as well as anyone with mobility issues. The soft surface can be less painful if you fall, and carpets can provide more traction than smooth and potentially slippery flooring like hardwood—especially when it comes to stairs.

• Carpet flooring can help absorb sound and prevent the echo that can occur in rooms that have hard flooring.

• Carpets are easy to clean. All you have to do is vacuum regularly in order to lift up debris and dust. Spills can be removed with one of the many affordable carpet cleaners available, but to get a deeper clean, you can occasionally shampoo your carpet to eliminate stains and refresh your floor.

• Because this plush flooring is so comfortable, you’ll likely want to take off your shoes, and doing so can make the task of keeping your floors spotless even easier. But it’s best to keep your socks on. Did you know that walking barefoot on carpet actually transfers oils that could, over time, soil the fibers?

• Installing carpeting can change the entire look and feel of a space, whether you want to add elements of luxury or comfort. For example, if you opt for a patterned, short-pile carpet, you can make a room feel formal and neat, while a longer twisted yarn option like frieze can be a nice addition to a cozy bedroom. With so many attractive options to choose from, our flooring specialists can help you decide what will look best in your home.

• For homeowners on a budget, carpeting might be a more affordable solution compared with other flooring types.
