What Will Carpet Cushion do for you?
|
|
Carpet cushion, sometimes
called padding, performs two functions. Make your carpet feel good
when you walk on it, and to help your carpet maintain its original
appearance over time. Carpet cushion is like the
shock absorbers on your car. It's there to protect your investment
by absorbing the pounding of foot traffic. To do so, carpet
cushion should neither be too soft nor too firm. It should
have good support, but also some "springiness" to it.
Within this range you can select a firmer or softer feel depending
on the type of carpet you are installing and your preference to
the feel underfoot. Just as advancements took place in the field
of fiber, great advancements took place in carpet cushion in regard
to moisture and odor resistance. Moisture-proof barrier film prevents
spills and accidents from penetrating the cushion, so they can be
blotted from the carpet quickly and easily. |

Bonded carpet cushion is the most
popular carpet cushion, used in over eighty percent (80%) of all
residential installations. An excellent value, bonded provides outstanding
performance and comfort. Bonded cushion is composed of new foam
that has been recycled from other manufacturing operations such
as furniture, bedding, and automotive, thus helping to reduce landfill
waste and improve our environment.
The standard cushion we use under all normal type carpets is
Carpenter's "Titan Deluxe". This is a premium cushion,
7/16" thickness and eight-pound density. Under Berber carpets
we use the same premium cushion that allows for the maximum comfort
in the home environment. |
