Do I need carpet padding?

If you purchase your first carpet flooring, you might think you can save some money by skipping the carpet padding, but we strongly advise against it. A lack of padding can cost you far more in the end, so be sure to read along with today’s post for some crucial information.

Why do you need padding for your carpet floors?

Padding does much more for your carpet floors than provides a soft and plush addition for a more comfortable experience. While this is undoubtedly a benefit, it is not the only nor the most important.

Good padding can help reduce the amount of wear your carpeting takes on, thus eliminating the fear of bunching, balding, or premature wear, which means your carpets will last longer. And some manufacturer’s warranties demand that proper padding be added to the installation process, making it even more critical for the future of your floors.

Additional benefits from adding great padding include noise reduction, which gives you a more peaceful environment, and outstanding heat retention, which raises your comfort level while simultaneously lowering your energy bills.
