We invite you to read through at your leisure and give us a call to schedule your design consultation.

Sound Insulation

While it might not be the first thing you consider when determining if carpet is the right flooring option for your home, carpet excels at absorbing impact noise and other forms of various sound pollution in your home. This can be particularly useful for homes with a raised foundation, or multi-story homes.

Energy Savings

If you’ve ever had carpets in your home before, you are well aware of just how good they are at helping to retain warmth, which can be a big help during the colder winter months. Carpets have a low heat conduction, and function as a natural thermal insulator, helping to retain the warm air inside your home when the weather outside gets cool. Over the course of the winter months, carpet’s heat retaining nature can help you save a fair amount of money on your monthly heating bills.

Safety

While most homeowners are pretty familiar with the comfort carpets provide when walking around your home barefoot, most homeowners tend to overlook another important benefit carpet can provide. There are a great deal of homeowners that often forget that carpet functions as a non-slip surface in many ways, which can be a great help if you have any elderly family members or infants living in the home with you.

Healthy Living Environment

Most homeowners are no strangers to dust around their houses, and while this dust tends to settle on hard floors where it gets scattered and kicked back into the air, carpet tends to trap dust and other contaminants in its fibers until it can be vacuumed out. Because the dust gets trapped and held in your carpet fibers, it isn’t being circulated through your home’s HVAC system and into the air you and your family breathe.
