Carpet adds incomparable qualities of quite and comfort to a room. For years carpet especially wall-to -wall was considered as fine floor covering. Today, it remains universally popular as a flexible floor covering. Using carpet has certain advantages as discussed below.
Sound absorption: This is the most appealing feature particularly in multi floor, older and high ceiling houses.
Softness: Carpet can help in combating the angularity of a room’s architecture. Because of surface texture it is a natural softening agent.
Versatility: It is not restricted to only floor; it is equally effective as a wall covering too.
Easy maintenance: it is easy to maintain. However, fiber construction accounts a lot for cleanability.
Warmth: Carpet can help to eliminate the cold that radiates from a chilled hard surface floor.
Camouflage: Carpet tends to mask any irregularities in the surface levels of the floor. It can be used over an existing floor, no matter what its condition is.
The recent innovation is indoor and outdoor types of carpeting. It can be used on terrace, swimming pool, and playroom. Outdoor carpets have different textural qualities i.e. from the convention softness to new texture that can withstand weather, stains. Several synthetic fibers particularly acrylic are being used
