The Benefits of Carpet in your Home

Installing new carpet is a great alternative to tile flooring.  Here are the top five benefits of carpet and rugs, according to the Carpet and Rug Institute:

Warmth & Comfort:  We all know carpet is more comfy than a hard surface for sitting, playing, or lounging.  Carpet provides insulation in colder temperatures, which can save energy.

Beauty & Style:  You can personalize your home by choosing from thousands of carpet styles and colors. 
Carpet provides a neutral foundation, or a focal point of bold color or pattern in your room.

Softens Slips & Falls:  Carpet provides a cushion underfoot, and a softer place to land for toddlers.  It also reduces the chance of injury if a fall occurs.

Long-Wearing Value:  When properly maintained and cleaned, carpet will maintain its beauty and durability for many years.

Noise Reduction:  Carpet helps absorb noise from computers, televisions, and other household electronics.  Carpet helps create a sound barrier between floors and on stairs as well.

The world of carpet is changing with the times, with a wider variety of new recycled and natural fiber carpets available to home owners that are long-wearing, easily cleaned and stain resistant.
