Carpet can become top of mind again

When it comes to interior design, the choice of flooring can have a significant impact on the atmosphere, comfort and functionality of a space. Carpet has countless benefits and beneficial properties that you might not easily think of. From improving comfort to adding aesthetic appeal, carpet often meets a wide range of floor needs and requirements. We highlight the most important benefits.

Comfort and warmth

Warm, cosy, comfortable, soft, cosy, luxurious, you quickly run out of superlatives to describe carpets. When you enter a carpeted area, you quickly feel comfortable and comfortable. This is because carpet exudes warmth and atmosphere. In contrast to hard surfaces, carpet feels soft and warm.

Heat insulating and energy saving

In addition, carpet acts as a natural insulator and helps retain heat in the colder seasons, which can contribute to energy savings. The stagnant air between the pole wires forms, as it were, a barrier to the “slipping” of heat to the construction floor. Carpets with long poles retain the most air and thus insulate heat as much as possible. Because carpet insulates heat, the thermostat can be slightly lower and you can save energy.

Sound-absorbing

In offices, ordinary living and working noises such as talking on the phone, consulting and the ticking of heels quickly become unpleasant. When you consciously choose textile materials such as curtains, upholstered furniture and carpets, you can significantly reduce the noise level. This is because carpet fibers do not reflect sound, but absorb it. The thicker the carpet, the greater the effect of sound insulation. In addition, the so-called contact sounds are particularly notorious in offices and hotels: noise that penetrates from the floor to the underlying ceiling. Fortunately, carpet is excellent at absorbing noise, so that sound transmission between floors in buildings can be minimized. In busy areas, carpet can significantly reduce echoes and footsteps.

Improved air quality

Contrary to popular belief, carpet can even contribute to better indoor air quality if properly maintained. Carpet acts as a passive air filter and captures dust, pollen and other airborne particles that would otherwise remain in the air and circulate through the room. Regular vacuuming and professional cleaning help remove these contaminants, promoting a healthier indoor environment.

Health and Safety

Carpet is tough. This means that the risk of slipping and falling on a carpeted floor is much smaller than on a smooth floor. Should you fall, carpet provides a softer and more resilient landing surface, which reduces the risk of injuries. In addition, the springy properties of carpet also have a positive effect on our muscles and joints. Walking on a hard, irregular surface requires quite a bit of our muscles, joints and balance. Soft carpet dampens walking movement, so muscles and joints don't have to take a hit. Scientific studies show that allergy is a complex disorder that does not occur for one apparent reason. It is established that carpet itself does not cause an allergic reaction and asthma. A nice feature of carpet is therefore precisely that it retains dust. Once settled, dust no longer swirls up, even when you walk across the carpet. The dust particles are firmly anchored between the poles until the next vacuum. The European Carpet and Environment Association, called GUT, has set requirements for the maximum emission of possible harmful substances from carpets. All our carpets meet all these strict standards and therefore have the GUT label, which is also recognized by BREEAM and LEED.

Durability and longevity

Carpets can last much longer than the average in a building. Because did you know that 80% of the floor space is only used for 20%? This means that after approximately 7 years of use, only 20% of the total floor space really needs to be replaced. With the right care and maintenance, carpet can therefore last for many years, while maintaining its quality and functionality. Our high-quality carpet is designed to withstand heavy foot traffic. In addition, developments in carpet production technology have led to the development of more durable and resilient fibres, extending their lifespan even further.

Versatility in design

Carpet is available in a wide range of colors, patterns, and textures, providing endless opportunities for design creativity. Whether you prefer a soft, neutral rug or an eye-catching patterned rug to make a statement, so much is possible. Especially with textile flooring. Carpet can be used to visually delimit spaces or to make an otherwise simple space visually more interesting. A professional interior should stand out, it can show what the company stands for. Carpet can be made to measure for any professional interior, with a recognisable signature. A professional environment where everything is right and where all elements are nicely coordinated, carpet can make a significant difference in that.

Conclusion

With tile carpets, wide carpets and rugs, you can add warmth, atmosphere and creativity to any interior in no time. Carpet has many benefits, ranging from increased comfort and warmth to improved acoustics, safety and design versatility. Carpet underlines the identity of the organization. Completes the picture.
