Benefits of Carpeting

Carpets also emit the lowest number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) when compared to other flooring types. 

A carpet also provides warmth and comfort, also known as R-value, which is a measure of thermal insulation. Walking on one with bare feet is much more pleasant during the winter than walking barefoot on a floor during it. The softness of carpeting also cushions to prevent slips and falls. 

Finally, carpeting is a noise reducer. This feature can be enhanced by adding an underlay beneath. It also reduces the sound to any room below it by absorbing the sounds of foot traffic.
