What are the benefits of carpets?
/A few years ago, some people believed that carpets in North Wales homes were not fashionable. Now, this has changed, as consumers become aware of the many benefits of carpets.
Sound insulation
In a noisy world, it’s good to have a quiet space to relax in. Carpets, especially deep-pile ones, are good at absorbing sounds. That’s why carpets are often seen in music recording studios. A room with a carpet reduces sound from neighbours, other rooms and your own feet walking on the floor. In large rooms, carpets prevent annoying echoes.
Easy to clean
Carpets rarely look dirty, as the pile hides dust and small particles. Daily vacuuming takes little time and keeps the carpet clean. At least once a year, carpets should be deep cleaned with special carpet shampoo or by professionals.
Hide flaws
The floor beneath a carpet does not have to be in pristine condition. A carpet hides scratches, chips and other damage. Stains and scuff marks are covered, and any dents in the floor left by the legs of heavy furniture can be concealed by carpets.
Child friendly
Carpets are very child friendly. If young children trip or fall, they are less likely to be injured on carpets compared to hard floors. Carpets feel soft, warm and comforting for children.
In addition, carpets absorb dust, preventing airborne particles that can cause respiratory problems for some children. This dust can easily be removed by vacuuming.
Look good
Carpets are available in a wide range of colours and patterns to suit any decor style.
With so many benefits, it’s no surprise that carpets are becoming more and more popular.
