Advantage Over Hard Floor Coverings

Carpet is a more desirable and practical alternative to hard floor coverings. Why?

Better Aesthetics

• Available in a wider variety of textures, colors and designs
• Non-reflective; does not show scuff marks
• Creates an ambiance of quality; improves the morale of staff, the comfort of guests and the behaviour of visitors.

Superior Sound & Heat Insulating Properties

• One of the most effective acoustical building materials
• Prevents noise generation at floor level without decreasing the quality of projected sound (speech, music, etc.)
• Greatly reduces sound transmitted through floors
• Increases thermal comfort by reducing heat loss through the feet and body heat loss through radiation

Greater Comfort

• Cushions feet
• Reduces fatigue

Affords Greater Safety

• Reduces the hazard of slipping and injury from falling
• Inherently flame retardant

More Economical

• Lowers maintenance costs
• Saves on fuel costs and sound insulation materials
