Protect Your Floors with Carpet Rugs

Many homeowners who have had hard wood floors installed in their homes paid out quite a bit of money in order to have this strong and durable flooring professionally installed. Hardwood floors are a great investment and they look amazing when they are well maintained. They are designed to last for many years, which is part of the reason why they are quite expensive. But what if you would like to have a change every now and then from your all wooden floors? Or perhaps you would like to protect the area during high-traffic times such as during the holidays? One way to keep your hardwood flooring safe and give your house a new, refreshing look is to add decorative carpet rugs to the rooms in your home.

Carpet rugs and mats can not only protect the flooring in your home from wear and tear, but they can also add new beauty and style to your home in just a matter of seconds. You can find carpet rugs, typically at a very affordable price, in a wide variety of designs that will match any type of home d?cor. You can purchase several different styles of carpet rugs to display so that you can have a variety of different flooring options to choose from.

Many companies that install hardwood floors professionally recommend that you purchase and use a carpet rug, especially in high traffic areas of your home such as in the hallway or in front of doors. This will help you to trap a lot of the dirt and moisture inside of a carpet rug instead of it all getting tracked across the hardwood floor. They can also be used in the kitchen in front of the sink, refrigerator or dishwasher.

It is important that you keep in mind that carpet rugs can become slippery when laid on hardwood flooring, so in order to keep yourself safe you will need to apply a type of non-slip padding to the underside of your rugs. This will help to ensure that they all stay in place and do not cause any accidents. You can find this sort of padding material at your local hardware shop. It usually comes in various sizes so that you can cut it to fit your particular size of rug.

Sometimes carpet rugs can end up protecting a hardwood floor a little too much! Over the years, UV rays from sunlight may cause your hardwood floor to become discoloured, and if carpet rugs are left in place, they can leave ‘patches’ on the floor where a carpet rug has shielded it from sunlight. You can avoid this very simply by moving your rugs around the room from time to time. Another thing that you can do to help is to have the windows in your home tinted to lower the amount of UV rays that are exposed to the flooring. You can also use different blinds or curtains that will help to cut down on the sun’s exposure to your floor.

It is important to take proper care of hardwood flooring – you can help protect this type of flooring by laying down carpet rugs. These rugs help to prevent day-to-day wear and tear, and also add colour to a room.
