Of
course, the first thing people think about when considering carpet for their
homes is the fact that it’s extremely soft and comfortable underfoot. This is a
feature that affords many other benefits as well. For instance, you’ll notice
much more noise resistance for a quieter and more peaceful atmosphere,
especially with children, pets, or frequent visitors in your home. It also
creates an excellent and safe play area for toddlers, even helping to prevent
falls, or keep them from being injurious if they do happen.
Another
benefit you’ll greatly enjoy is the built-in stain protection that some
manufacturers are offering. This protection is built right into the carpet
fibers themselves so that stains can no longer soak in and become permanent.
What’s more, repeated shampooing will never cause the protection to wear off.
You’ll be protected much longer, and will never have to reapply that security.
Allergy
sufferers can enjoy the benefits of carpet as well. In years past, this
flooring was often a common way to keep allergens floating around in the air.
However, with the recent addition of hypoallergenic fibers, it’s actually
become a benefit to the homeowner who has allergies. The flooring now traps and
holds such allergens as dander, pollen, dust, and more, so you’ll breathe easier
with this flooring in place.
Be
sure to ask your flooring rep about the necessity of professional installation
of carpet.
