Carpets
Pads: To Protect and To Serve
Carpet pads help the carpet regarding longevity and
insulation, but it is quite funny how it is the last thing we consider when we
are to buy carpets. Padding's improve the comfort we enjoy from carpets and must
be given the attention you would give the actual carpet. But is it necessary to
have a carpet pad? Here are some reasons why.
Noise
insulation
Carpet pads reduce the
amount of noise emanating from the floor when you walk or when something falls
on the rag. The extra cushion for the carpet acts as a shock absorb-er making
sure you enjoy a nice quiet home.
Ensures a
much cleaner rug
Pads under the carpet are meant to prevent the dust that
settles on the floor from settling on the carpet. Instead, the dust and other
dirt forms will settle down on the padding so that when you finally get around
to cleaning your carpet, it will not be that dirty.
Longevity
A good carpet is one that lasts long. When the carpet is
placed over padding, then it will last even longer. Padding's prevent the carpet
from wearing and tearing as it stays between the hard floor and the carpet.
Safety
Good carpet padding's are designed in a way that they stick to
the floor as well as the carpet. This will prevent you from falling or sliding
off the carpet since it will not be shifting below your feet making it safer
for you and your family.
It is quite evident that life is much better with a carpet
pad than without. Next time you are out shopping for new carpets makes sure you
buy a padding that is best for your floor as well as the carpet for that extra
comfort and a peace of mind.
