There seems to be a strong division between those who like carpet in their homes and those who prefer to have hardwood or Cambridge engineered flooring, with heated arguments for both floor choices. Neither choice is 'bad' and it is completely personal which one you prefer, but carpet does have quite a lot of disadvantages when compared to wooden flooring.
That's not to say that carpets don't have any benefits when compared to wood or laminate floors, however. Carpets are cosier, thanks to being soft and warm underfoot, whereas laminate or wood floors can be cold, especially in winter. Carpets can often be less expensive when compared to the alternatives, depending on the pattern and brand. They can also be easier to maintain and repair, especially if they aren't patterned. The near endless variety of styles and designs means that you can easily match up your flooring with your existing bespoke skirting boards and doors Yorkshire. In some homes, especially those that are heavy with dark wood, having a wooden floor as well as bespoke skirting boards and doors Yorkshire can make rooms feel very dark and almost claustrophobic. However, there are some things that are much easier to do with a solid floor as opposed to carpet.
Although stains can be more damaging for wooden floors if they are left to sit and soak in, it is much easier to wipe a solid floor clean than try and get stains out of a carpet. If you drop something like red wine, coffee or makeup on Cambridge engineered flooring , you can easily just wipe it up with a damp cloth or some multi-purpose spill cleaner and you don't have to worry about it. However, as most homeowners will likely know, these products are very difficult to remove from carpet, especially light ones. You need to extensively scrub the carpet with cleaning products to try and prevent the stain from lingering permanently, but you can't use products containing strong bleaches as they can lighten the carpet too much. Even after doing all of this cleaning, there is a very real chance that the stain may persist too.
As well as cleaning specific areas when spillages occur, regular maintenance needs to be done on carpets. Whilst wooden or Cambridge engineered flooring will need to be wiped clean when spills occur, dirt and dust don't get trapped in them like they do in carpets. This means that regular maintenance and hoovering can be carried out less frequently than with carpets. If you're somewhat lazy and don't like dragging a hoover around your house and banging it into your doors Yorkshire and bespoke skirting boards, this can be a dream! The fibres of carpet can hold onto dust particles and other bits that get trapped deep in the carpet. If someone living in your home suffers with allergies, this can make their ailments so much worse and cause a bad reaction. Vacuuming frequently can counteract the build up of allergens and bits, but this can be a lot of effort.
