Everyone has an opinion when it comes to what kind of flooring you should pick. Some love the classic look of hardwood while others prefer the contemporary feel of carpet and vinyl. Whatever your prejudices, be open to the possibilities when shopping for flooring. At S&G Carpet and More, we know that you need quick, factual information about your choices to make the right decision for your space. Maybe you aren’t sure what carpet has to offer or are torn between hardwood flooring and carpeting. Before you visit one of our showrooms, read up on five big benefits of carpet. When you come in to shop, we’ll be happy to help you understand how your other flooring options match up in the areas most important to you.
Affordability
Its low cost is definitely one of carpet’s most well-known qualities. Aside from vinyl sheeting, it’s the most affordable flooring product for both residential and commercial settings. While it’s true that the installation costs for carpeting tend to be higher than those for hardwood, the price of carpeting is still about half that of hardwood flooring. Of course, it’s important to remember that high-quality carpets offer an average use life of about 10 years so long as they’re professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months.
Style
Aesthetics play a big part in any floor-buying decision. Carpet does a great job of meeting decor demands thanks to the variety of styles, patterns and colors in which it’s available. Whether you’re looking for a neutral beige to anchor a living room or deep ruby to add romance to a master suite, you’ll find carpeting that meets the bill. Of course, more than just solids are available. Carpeting comes in an array of patterns and multi-color styles so that you can make a bold style statement.
