What’s Beneath Your Carpet?

Do you know what lies beneath your carpet?

Depending on how long you’ve lived in your home or had your carpet, you may not want to think about what’s trapped in the underlying padding.

Most padding is made of bonded foam pieces, which offers support, cushion, and durability, but is still a porous material, and depending on how long you and yours have walked, spilled, and lived on your carpet and padding, it’s likely trapped decades of dirt, pollen, spores, and scents.

The good news: Carpet padding continues to evolve, and new double-sided, moisture-barrier pads are an incredible, solution for maintaining your carpet’s longevity, adding comfort to your floors (this stuff is extra-springy to walk on), and protecting your home’s sub-flooring from spills¾ideal for homes with pets, children, and the spill-prone.

We don’t often think about the things we can’t see, but what lies beneath your carpet matters, which is why we highly recommend investing in future-forward padding that will extend the lifetime enjoyment of your carpet and home.
