We think it’s fair to say that at some point in our lives we’ve walked into a beautifully carpeted room and felt at ease with the space (I’m sure we’ve also all seen one of those 1970’s atrocities that look like the cat has thrown up all over the floor!).
In this article, we will outline just 5 of the many benefits that a carpet installation can add to an investment property.
From student flats to family homes, low traffic areas or main thoroughfares, there is a carpet product that can fit any scenario in our often very different properties.
Benefits of a Carpet Installation
1. Lower cost of installation
We understand that number one on most investment property owners’ lists is cost and the all important ROI. This is why carpet installation in a property is seriously worth consideration.
With so many different materials, each with their own thicknesses and plushness, you can find a carpet solution that works for both your budget and your property.
The installation process itself is usually less intensive than both tile and hardwood flooring, meaning a quicker turnaround and lower labour costs.
Carpet is measured in broadloom square metre lengths 1m x 3.66m while other flooring solutions are in traditional 1m x 1m sections, meaning you get 3 times the value of these other products. It really is a win-win situation!
2. Carpet adds comfort and warmth to a home
We don’t think there is another flooring solution on the market that can emulate the feel of carpet under foot. With the soft cushioning and flexibility that a nice carpet pile offers, it’s easy to understand why so many people choose a carpet installation in their homes.
Having carpet installed in your property adds to extra insulation for those cold winter months. This allows little to no air through the subfloor, and helps keep that precious warm air circulating in the home.
Our wool carpet products also help with keeping things cool in summer when compared to concrete or tile flooring.
3. Carpet adds an element of class and style to your property
Available in a variety of colours and thicknesses, our carpet installation service caters to all investment property types, adding an attractive option to virtually any zone in a home.
Whether it be a stately room in a manor or a cosy cottage, the possibilities are endless to lift your property’s rooms. For a glimpse at our range of different options take a look at our carpet product page.
4. They can help with soundproofing
Carpet can help absorb sound where other flooring solutions may amplify it. This makes carpet perfect, especially for family homes or anywhere noise can be an issue.
Crucial to carpet’s success at sound absorption is a well installed underlay, adding that extra layer of soundproofing as well as improving the lifespan of the carpet itself.
This absorption of sound means that those wanting to listen to music or watch a movie are not having to battle potential echo bouncing off the walls.
5. Carpet helps soften falls and other accidents
As anyone who has had children will attest, knocks, bumps and falls are all pretty commonplace in a busy family home. It makes sense that our flooring should be a little more forgiving.
Having a nice thick pile carpet installation will help with minimising many of the common accidents that can happen around our homes.
With increased absorption of any falls, reducing the chance of slipping and lessening the chance of our household items being broken or smashed, carpet is a lot more forgiving than hard flooring.
All of these carpet benefits add to a much safer environment for our family homes and investment properties.
