Despite what people hear and read, carpeting is still a popular floor covering, particularly for bedrooms and nurseries. Carpeting is available in synthetic and natural materials that includes wool, sisal, jute, coir, and seagrass.
Materials
Each material has its own set of characteristics. They include:
- Wool is beneficial for those with allergies and respiratory conditions. The material is naturally fire and stain resistant.
- Sisal is soft, durable and good for high-traffic areas. It can get slippery over time and is not a good choice for stairs.
- Jute is very soft, but less durable than other fibers.
- Coir is made of coconut husks. It’s durable and good for high-traffic areas. It is susceptible to staining and the weave makes it unsuitable for stairs.
- Seagrass is anti-static, very slick, and not good for stairs. It’s resistant to dirt, stains, and discoloration.
Stylish
Today’s carpeting is available in multiple colors, patterns and textures to enhance any living space. There are carpeting options to accommodate any décor and its easy to customize any style preference.
Insulates
Carpeting provides a level of insulation. There’s no need to endure the shock of stepping out of bed onto a cold floor. Carpeting traps small pockets of air that aids in its insulating ability. Installing carpeting also provides a warm and comfortable place for children to play and pets to lay.
Noise Buffer
Rooms that are carpeted absorb noise emanating from other parts of the house, along with nearby footfalls. The ability to minimize noise is just one of the reasons why it’s an appealing choice for nurseries. Cut pile carpet muffles more sound than loop carpeting. It aids in conserving energy, even in warm climates where air conditioning is regularly used.
Safety
People don’t think of carpeting in terms of safety, but a carpeted flooring provides a softer surface if a fall occurs, whether it’s a toddler or a senior. Individuals are less likely to sustain an injury if they fall on carpeting. Stairs that are carpeted are less likely to present a trip, slip and fall hazard and if breakables fall on carpeting, they’re less likely to break.
