Can carpet warm a room?

Wednesday, December 8, 2021 10:29 AM

Wednesday, December 8, 2021 10:29 AM While carpeting won't change the temperature, it has a high R-value (the term for insulation), so it will hold on to an already warm room, giving it a feeling of coziness. This floor covering also works the other way, holding on to an already cold room. In addition, the padding has its own R-value, so when the two are combined, the insulation factor increases substantially. That is just one of the many benefits of carpet.

Improves indoor air quality
Vacuuming gets the surface dirt, and any particles and pollutants that remain are trapped into the fibers, where they will stay until the surface is deep cleaned. As a result, rugs are also one of the lowest emitters of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), harmful substances that exacerbate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems.

What's more, you don't need to worry about mold and mildew. When kept clean, a synthetic fiber like nylon won't allow growth.

Style & affordability
There is something for everyone's budget with the assortment of colors and designs, not to mention all of the constructions like looped (Berber or Level Loop), cut piles, Saxony, shag, frieze, or cut and loop. There are also various textures, such as plus and patterned.

Because of modern technology, color palettes have been expanded; patterning is created digitally; and there are versions for specific needs, such as extra stain resistance and durability; hypoallergenic and pet or eco-friendly.
