A good carpet lessens noise levels and this is especially good for big halls where the sound of computers, televisions, radios and other appliances can be disturbing. Another good thing about carpets is the warmth it exudes. On the aesthetic aspect, it gives a room ambiance. On the functional aspect, a carpet avoids the exchange of cold air up through the floor and warm air from escaping the room. Carpets and carpet pads have their R value – their standard insulation value. The higher the R value, the more insulation they give. Years before, nylon was the only fiber used in carpets. But in recent times, almost 98% of carpets are made from synthetic materials. The five kinds of materials are nylon, polypropolene, acrylic, polyester and wool.
