Carpet

A carpet provides actual thermal resistance, or R-value. In colder climates or seasons, it retains warm air longer, an energy conservation benefit. Carpets also provide a comfortable place to sit, play or work and give a room an overall warmer feeling. You can choose from many thousands of carpet styles and colors. That means your ultimate choice will reflect how you want to personalize your living space. A carpet can be a neutral foundation, or it can be a focal point with vibrant colors and stronger bolder patterns and textures. A carpet is ideal for cushioning our footsteps, reducing slips and falls and minimizing injuries when falls do occur. A carpet provides safety protection for the whole family, but especially for toddlers and older individuals. Big screen TVs, speaker phones, computers and modern sound systems make our homes noisy places. Carpets help absorb these sounds. Adding a cushion pad beneath your carpet reduces noise even further. A carpet also works as a sound barrier between floors by helping to block sound transmission to rooms below. And a carpet on stairs helps mask the sound of constant foot traffic. A carpet will maintain its life and beauty for many years when properly cleaned and maintained.
