Carpet Pad: The Unsung Hero of Comfort
Hey there, folks! Brian Berson, your friendly Flooring Consultant from Creative Carpet & Flooring, is back with some valuable insights into the world of carpet padding. You might not see it, but trust me, it's an essential part of your carpet experience. So, let's dive in and explore what makes a good carpet pad or cushion.
The Foundation of Comfort and Durability
Picture this: a firm and resilient carpet cushion is like the rock-solid foundation of your carpet kingdom. It's the unsung hero that plays a crucial role in enhancing your comfort and extending the lifespan of your carpets. Plus, it does a fantastic job of muffling those unwanted sounds and keeping your space cozy and warm.
Choosing the Right Cushion: Pro Tips
Now, when you're on the hunt for the perfect cushion, here's a pro tip: always check what your carpet manufacturer recommends in terms of thickness and density. For most residential carpets, a safe bet is a cushion that's no thicker than 7/16 of an inch and no thinner than 1/4 inch, with a minimum density of 6 pounds per cubic foot. However, if you've got berber or low-profile carpet, go for a cushion that's no more than 3/8-inch thick and boasts an 8-pound density.
