Carpet is a remarkably durable and practical floor covering. It is a decorative complement to your home or business that adds elegance, comfort and fashion to any setting. Carpet is also a natural insulator and absorbs noise.
Why Carpet?
There is nothing quite like woven carpet to add comfort, warmth and character to your room. A carpet will transform an interior in a way that no other single item of furniture can, yet will often cost less and last longer. There are many other benefits associated with purchasing a woven carpet.
Noise Reduction
As a floorcovering, a carpet cushions impact noise, thereby aiding relaxation and improving the general ambience of the room.
Dust Trapping Properties
Unlike hard floor surfaces, carpets trap dust in the pile until it is removed by vacuuming.
Energy Savings
Carpets not only create the feeling of warmth, but they actually help retain heat in a room by acting as a thermal insulator. Evidence suggests that as much as 10% of the heat in a room is retained by carpet when compared with a smooth floorcovering. A decrease in the amount of heat loss helps reduce heating costs in the home.
Environment
A study carried out by Utrecht University, Holland, established that wool-rich woven carpets consume 60% less non-renewable resources in manufacturing than other types of carpet. The vast majority of our woven carpets are made with 80% wool, 20% nylon pile; jute, cotton and polypropylene yarns. Of these, wool, jute and cotton are natural renewable resources and, on average, constitute 86% by weight of all raw materials.
Cost Savings
Total annual cleaning cost comparisons of various types of flooring indicate that carpet has the edge over other alternatives.
