Is carpet bad for my allergies?
There's a longstanding myth out there that carpet is not ideal for people with allergies or asthma. On the contrary, carpeting can be one of the most hypoallergenic flooring solutions with proper care. Carpet traps allergens within its fibers, preventing them from escaping into the air and aggravating sensitive family members. A regularly cleaned carpet is the ideal tool for improving the air quality in your home.
How do I prevent carpet stains?

Padding ranges in thickness and protection capabilities, so you'll want to talk to any of our flooring experts to help you find the right balance of features and benefits for your specific needs and budget.
