Top five benefits of using carpets in offices

There are several reasons why carpets in Chester offices make for a good flooring choice.

Interior design has a large effect on staff productivity. Many employees spend more time at work than at home, so the office floor covering should be supportive and functional.

These are the top five reasons to go for carpet:

1. Looks

Hard floors such as wood and vinyl look good, but there is far more choice in carpet patterns and styles.

Neutral colours and carpets without patterns complement a minimalist decor style. Light colours create the illusion that a small space is larger, while loud colours and patterns suit a young creative or media company that has a vibrant image.

Contrasting colour carpet tiles can create pathways that direct visitors to reception areas or waiting rooms.

2. Health and safety

There is less risk of injury when falling on carpets than hard surface floors.

Carpets can trap allergens and dust particles, preventing them from being present in the air. This improves the air quality for allergy sufferers.

3. Thermal properties

A carpet with an underlay helps insulate rooms and save energy, particularly with wool carpets.

4. Acoustics

In offices, people talk on the phone, hold meetings with colleagues and tap keyboards all day, creating a somewhat noisy environment. Hard floors create echoes and reflect sound, whereas carpets absorb it, making the office quieter and less distracting to work in.

5. Making a good impression

Finally, remember that the office appearance is part of a business image. A quality, well-designed carpet enhances the impression visitors get of a business.
