Carpet

Carpeting is an attached floor covering made of a heavy, thick fabric. It is typically knotted or glued to a base weave. For environmental reasons, the use of organic wool, natural bindings, natural padding, and formaldehyde-free glues are becoming more common. These options are almost always at a premium cost, though with no sacrifice to performance. Dynamic developments in fiber manufacturing means that carpet, today, offers a greater variety of choice in texture, color, style, and price than any other type of floor covering.

Carpet can be one of the least costly elements of room decor. It offers an excellent value as a decorating investment, provides incomparable comfort, is an effective insulator against cold, and absorbs noise. EPA scientists have recently concluded that carpet can be beneficial in trapping and immobilizing potential allergy-causing particles, preventing them from re-entering the indoor air system, if the carpet is regularly cleaned and properly maintained. Today's advanced technology enables manufacturers to offer carpet suitable for virtually any residential or commercial setting, with optimum built-in wear, soil, and stain resistance.
