We have hundreds of colors and styles from
which to choose. Berber, Sculptured, Textured, Saxony, and
Commercial. We have been installing carpet for more than 30 years.Carpet is the floor covering of choice among
homeowners,
representing the
majority of all floor covering purchases in the United States. The
reasons for its popularity are both practical and decorative.
Unlike other types of flooring, carpet is a natural insulator,
providing additional warmth in cold seasons. Its use in a wall-to-wall
application actually increases the R-value, or insulation level, of the
carpeted area. Beyond its potential value in reducing heating costs,
carpet also enhances the perception of comfort and warmth.
Carpet reduces a home's noise level, eliminating or muffling
distracting clatter. Carpeted rooms absorb and contain noise, offering a
greater degree of privacy from room to room. Soft underfoot, carpet also
provides a comfortable, non-slip walking surface that reduces leg
fatigue. Importantly, a resilient layer of carpet minimizes the danger
of injury from falls and accidents.
Another, often overlooked advantage of carpet is its ability to
improve indoor air quality. EPA scientists have concluded that carpet
can be beneficial in trapping and immobilizing potential allergy-causing
particulates, preventing them from reentering the indoor air stream, if
the carpet is properly cleaned and maintained. A 1990 study in Sweden
determined that levels of particulate contaminants, bacteria, and fungi
in the indoor air in carpeted areas were always far below levels in the
air above hard surface floors. Similar results have been obtained in
other studies in American hospitals.
Of course, as with any interior furnishing, appropriate cleaning is
required. This includes regular vacuuming, removal of spots and spills,
and periodic overall cleaning, preferably using the hot water extraction
method.
Carpet is also a remarkably durable and practical floor covering.
Technological advances in everything from fiber to backing enable carpet
manufacturers to offer products suitable for virtually any residential
or commercial setting - indoors or out! Moreover, carpet is an
exceptional value and is generally significantly less expensive than
other floor coverings.
Best of all, carpet is a beautiful home furnishing that can add
elegance, comfort, and fashion to any setting. Extremely versatile,
carpet is available in an extraordinary selection of styles, patterns,
and colors. From solid, formal cut piles, or "saxonies," to
natural, loop pile Berbers, carpet affords unlimited decorating
flexibility.
Carpet can serve as a neutral backdrop that complements other
furnishings, or it can "make a statement" as the focal point
of a decor. The only truly three-dimensional floor covering, carpet
offers textural possibilities that other hard surfaces lack.
Value, comfort, safety, beauty...it's little wonder that carpet has
outsold every other floor covering for almost fifty years.
