CARPET FROM SPARX FLOORING
Carpet is a great choice for a home it you are looking for warmth beneath your feet and a luxurious aesthetic. An important aspect of carpet that is often not discussed is carpet padding. It is a mistake to skimp on carpet padding to save a little money. Buildings need solid foundations, and carpet requires a layer of padding that provides extra cushion, strength, and support. While carpet padding cannot be seen, the spot of wear and tear when padding is inadequate is quite noticeable.
CARPET PADDING
Carpet padding is made from foam and rubber materials that conceal subfloor imperfections and improve the appearance of the carpet. Carpet padding also absorbs sound that eliminates neighbor noise and protects your privacy.
Another benefit of carpet padding is the insulation that helps control the temperature of a home. The most significant benefit of carpet padding is the support that adds years of life to a carpet. Carpet padding prevents fibers and backing from coming apart.
High traffic areas require carpet padding that is dense and firm, while light traffic rooms such as bedrooms may need less protection. It is important to match carpet padding to the carpet you plan to install.
Carpet padding that is 7/16 inch, or 11 millimeters thick is recommended by the Carpet and Rug Institute to support cut loop or cut pile carpet having six pounds of density per cu.ft. For thin loop or Berber carpet, the recommended carpet padding is 3/8 inch or 9.5 millimeters for carpet with a density of eight pounds per cu. ft.
