If you want to catch up with some work at home, put your laptop on the floor and lie down on the carpet to work instead of sitting in a chair at your desk. It feels a bit less like work so you might even get more done than usual! You could even try suggesting to your boss that you'd work much better if you were allowed to lie down on the carpet, but it's probably best to stick to doing this in the comfort of your own home. ...read more

There are all kinds of benefits to having carpet on your floor. Modern carpets can make a positive difference to your family life in many ways, lowering your heating bills, updating your living space with a new splash of colour - and no one ever got a splinter from sitting on a carpet! There are all kinds of benefits to having carpet on your floor. Modern carpets can make a positive difference to your family life in many ways, lowering your heating bills, updating your living space with a new splash of colour - and no one ever got a splinter from sitting on a carpet! Comfy and Cosy Carpet is far more comfortable, cosier and much warmer..No one ever got cold feet from walking on a carpet! Sound Insulation The sound insulation effect of a carpet can create a calmer, quieter atmosphere in your home. It reduces surface noise from foot traffic and absorbs sound from both within the room and between floors. Safe Carpet gives your floor a safer, gentler, non-slip surface which can prevent accidents and is a natural cushion in the event of a fall - especially important when you have babies or toddlers around. HygieneContrary to popular misconception, carpet is actually much more hygienic than you may think. The presence of airborne dust is far lower in carpeted rooms because it actually traps allergens and dust particles which are easily removed with regular vacuuming.ValueQuality carpet is actually easier and more affordable to have fitted and replaced than most other floor coverings.VersatileCarpets, unlike other floor coverings, do not always require a perfectly level surface, saving you money on potential new sub-floor treatments.Air QualityCompared to all other home furnishing products, a new carpet emits some of the lowest levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into our homes, especially when compared with most paint and varnish..Lower Energy billsGood quality carpet and underlay not only provide another layer of padding to your home, but also act as an extra layer of insulation lowering your winter fuel bills.ColourfulCarpet is available in a huge variety of colours, patterns and textures, enabling you to make it the main focus of a room or the perfect foundation for all your furniture. Despite the popularity of neutral colours these days, carpet certainly doesn't just come in a thousand shades of beige! ...read more

When you selectcarpetfor your home, you have many things to consider and many different options to weigh as well.Carpetscome in many different colours and styles, textures and fibres, and there are many different qualities to choose from as well.The two most popular choices of carpet today are the loop pile andcutpile. Loop pile has individual strands of yarn pulled through the backing of the carpet twice, which creates a small loop.The cut pile has the loop cut at the top, leaving tufts of yarn that stand straight up. Cut pile is normally more durable than looped pile. Cut piles come in many styles, such as shag, textured, saxony, and velvet. Loop pile choices include berber, cable, or sisal. For high traffic areas, loop pile is an excellent choice.One of the factors with choosing your carpet is the cost. Even though there is nothing more luxurious than having woolcarpetingin your home, most of us can't afford wool. If you are able to afford wool carpeting you'll find that even though it costs more to install, it will prove to be far more superior to any other type of carpeting, there is no man made carpet fibre that come close to the durability, rich look, or even the feel of wool - which can also last for 30 years or more.Acrylic carpeting is very similar to wool, and sometimes referred to as man made wool. It is resistant to moisture, fading, mildew, crushing, and staining, although it isn't recommended for high traffic areas.Nylon carpeting is also popular, as it is recommended for high traffic areas. Nylon is one of the most expensive types of synthetic fibres, although it is still cheaper than wool.Olefin is a low cost carpet material, often used for indoor or outdoor carpeting. Olefin is colourfast and strong, very easy to clean. One of the draw backs to olefin is that it can easily be crushed.Another consideration you'll have is the colour and patterns of the carpet. Light carpeting colours help to create a spacious effect, making the room appear to be larger. Light colour carpets will of course, show much more soil than dark colours.If you have pets around the house or little kids, dark colours may be your best bet. There are many different varieties of dark colours, which is great for those interested in style. Dark colours are ideal for stains or pets, as they don't show soiled areas near as much as light coloured carpets.If you end up selecting light colours around pets or little kids, you'll find yourself having to work twice as hard to make stains less noticeable. It would be easier and also smarter to select a dark colour and make it easier on you.Please call me for a Free Estimate. (253) 227-1202, Roger ...read more

Antique wool rugs are fragile so gentleness and care should be taken when trying to keep them clean. They do get dirty from time to time but they cannot be cleaned like most rugs. It is better to clean them yourself than a professional so you will know that care was taken to clean them. ...read more
