Cold Temperatures and Floor Covering…Did You Know?

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Carpet has many benefits over hardwoods as a flooring choice. Walking on carpet is easier on the back, feet and joints because of its cushioning effect. Also it is a safer choice for young children and the elderly.

Carpet also acts as insulation during winter by keeping warmth in areas - by up to 20%. Non-carpeted areas must have a temperature increase by 6-8 degrees F to achieve the same level of comfort as carpeted areas, this can be as much as 15% increase in fuel costs.

So if you are thinking about replacing your carpet with hardwood flooring make sure that you have done all of your research and that your investment pays off in the long run.
