Carpet is an outstanding floor covering, with stunning visuals and impressive benefits for many homeowners. However, carpet padding is always necessary to ensure the proper functionality of the carpet you choose.

Most homeowners know that great padding adds luxurious softness and comfort underfoot, but it does so much more than that. You'll find that a quality padding means you'll experience minor wear, bunching, and balding for flooring that lasts longer.

Excluding proper padding works just the opposite and can mean you’ll need to replace your carpet flooring far sooner than you would otherwise. If you’re ready to find a perfect option for the materials you’ve chosen, be sure to visit our showroom and speak with a flooring professional who will be happy to help you find every material and service required for a perfect flooring experience.
