Carpet Timber Pines Carpet Benefits Over Laminates and Hardwoods

Many home designers and real estate agents like to talk about a home’s hardwood flooring as a selling point. Not only are they beautiful, but they often can increase the property value of a home when compared to other flooring options such as laminates and carpet. Timber Pines residents should be made aware that there is nothing wrong with a home that has carpet flooring. In fact, there are actually some benefits to having carpet flooring instead of using tile, or hardwood. For example, carpet is often much cheaper than any type of hardwood flooring on the market.

Carpet and Sound Absorption

Believe it or not, but carpet flooring is one of the best flooring solutions for people who do not like loud and noisy environments. Carpet fibers are great at absorbing sounds as opposed to hardwood or tile options that simply bounce sound waves off of them. With a home that is covered in carpet, Timber Pines residents might find it a lot less noisy, especially if there are kids or animals in their household. Most people do not realize how noisy their household is until they switch from carpet flooring to hardwood flooring because they did not know carpet absorb sound.

Carpet is better at Insulating

Apart from being able to handle sound waves better, carpet is also a great option because it is a little better at insulating a house than hardwood or laminate flooring. People who have ever walked on a hardwood floor barefoot know that on cold days it can be very uninviting. With carpet, Timber Pines residents will have a small layer of insulation to better retain the heat of a room or a home. This also works well with colder temperatures during the summer months when you have your air conditioner running all the time.
