On Why a Carpet
There is nothing quite like woven carpet to add comfort, warmth and character to your room. A carpet will transform an interior in a way that no other single item of furniture can, yet will often cost less and last longer! A good carpet is an investment in beauty, adding color and design, unsurpassed durability and an enviable elegance to any installation. There are many other benefits associated with purchasing a carpet of high quality.
Noise Reduction
Scientific research has clearly illustrated the critical effect that noise pollution can have on an individual's well-being. As a floor covering, a carpet cushions impact noise, thereby aiding relaxation and improving the general ambience of the room.
Dust Trapping Properties
Unlike hard floor surfaces, carpets trap dust in the pile until it is removed by vacuuming. Work completed in the Medical Entomology Centre, Cambridge University provides scientific proof that carpet promotes a healthy living environment, preventing the airborne release of asthmatic agents. Further research was conducted by Rogaland Research, a Norwegian Test Institute, on behalf of Dupont Nylon. Comparing air quality results between soft and hard flooring in classroom settings, they found that carpeted rooms gave better results.
Energy Savings
Carpets not only create the feeling of warmth, but they actually help retain the temperature in a room by acting as a insulator. Evidence suggests that as much as 10% of the room temperature is retained by carpet when compared with a smooth floor covering. A decrease in the amount of temperature loss helps reduce cooling or heating costs in the home. It acts in both Summer and Winter.
Cost Savings
Total annual cleaning cost comparisons of various types of flooring indicate that carpet has the edge over other alternatives.
