CARPET PADDING KNOWLEDGE AND COMFORT
To some, carpet padding may seem like an unnecessary extra tacked on to your purchase for the sole purpose of frustrating you, the customer. To those who understand the benefits of high-quality carpet padding, however, it’s clear that nothing could be further from the truth. This incredibly useful flooring accessory not only saves you money in the long run, it can also add comfort and quality to your life in a way that unpadded carpet cannot compete with.
When you step on a particularly soft section of carpet, and your feet feel comforted in a way that you’ve only dreamed about, you can bet that underneath the floor covering there is hig-quality padding. It offers a layer of resilience, softness and cushioning between the hard subfloors and the top layer of floor covering, which not only makes the material on top feel better, it also makes it perform better, and for longer. The padding provides a buffer between the top material and the concrete or wood that the subfloor is made up of, which limits friction and decreases the squashing and rubbing of the carpet fibers, which keeps it looking newer for many more years than it would otherwise.
