If you consider the recent history of the carpet, you can truly say that this floor covering has come full circle. For years this was all you would find in houses – from the bedrooms to the dining room, the hallway to the lounge. But as more players entered the market, prices began to drop, and so did the quality. This led to the early demise of wall to wall carpeting, as the inferior quality could not live up to the benefits promised by new flooring types entering the market. Recently, however, there has been a noticeable return to wall to wall carpeting, with the high quality, luxury carpets leading the pack. And if you consider the benefits provided by carpeting, this is really no surprise.
The most obvious benefit of wall to wall carpeting, specifically the high-end carpets, is the plush feeling it lends to a room, combined with the luxuriously soft walking surface it provides. Hand in hand with this is the fact that it acts as a noise damper, not only for footsteps, but for any sound generated in the room. The dense pile of a carpet and its backing layer also act as heat insulators. The carpet fibres trap small air pockets that retain heat longer, so not only does a carpet feel warmer and more comfortable underfoot than a smooth floor covering, it helps a room retain as much as 10% more heat.
Another huge benefit of wall to wall carpeting is the easy maintenance. A carpet is a practical, hardwearing and resilient floor covering choice, with a surface that doesn't scratch, scuff or splinter. It is easy to install, easy to clean and requires minimum effort to maintain. In addition, today’s modern fibres ensure that carpets look better and last longer than ever before.
