3 Reasons Not to Skip the Carpet Pad

Protect your rug and your privacy with this simple solution.

If you’ve ever lived on the upper level of an apartment or condo with hardwood flooring, you can appreciate the perks, including a more modern look, a better view and more privacy; but there is also a downside.  Your neighbors may very well be convinced that you are actually auditioning for Riverdance, when really, you’re just pacing during a stressful phone call or making a late night snack. Nobody feels good after that first knock on the door because of a noise complaint, or a passive aggressive post-it, signed “Apt 2.” Your home should be a place where you can relax, not a place where you spend your time walking on eggshells.

Laying down space rugs is a quick and effective way to not only improve the look and feel of your home, but also helps to dampen some of the sound traveling through the walls and floors of your space. And a carpet pad can improve the effectiveness of your rug in the following ways:

Your rug will last longer.

Over time the wear and tear from normal tromping and traipsing around your digs puts stress on the backing and fibers of your rug. Carpet padding can help to reduce that daily wear and tear by providing a cushion to help absorb some of the impact.

It feels softer on your feet.

There is no such thing as too soft for the tootsies. No matter if you have a basic thin rug to add a little color, or a thick shag rug to add some texture to your space, carpet pads provide that much more softness on your feet making it much more comfortable to come home and rest your weary bones.

It will absorb impact and sound.

In addition to absorbing impact on your rug, carpet padding will help to absorb sound traveling through your floors, both from walking back and forth, and from music and talking. It also works both ways, so not only will your neighbor experience more peace and quiet, you will too.
