  1. Improved Indoor Air Quality 

Concerned about indoor air quality? Carpet might surprise you.

Accidents can happen, but carpet can help minimize the impact. It provides a softer surface that reduces the risk of slips and falls. In the event of a fall, the cushioning effect of carpet can help lessen the severity of injuries, providing an added layer of safety for your family.
