The staff have seen it all, and often they hear the question, “Is carpet padding really necessary?” After all, it seems like an extra expense for something you don’t even see in your day-to-day life. However, there are very good reasons to look into this extra precaution.

Padding isn’t an absolute necessity, and installation can take place without it. However, proper padding will extend the life of your carpet, assisting in protection from wear and tear. In fact, a carpet’s warranty is often voided if you don’t have correct padding placed under it at the time of installation. Taking the extra step not only helps to protect your carpet from damage, it also ensures that it will stay looking fresh and feeling nice for longer by minimizing minor scuffs and tears. Other benefits include less noise from foot traffic and a more comfortable step, helping to keep your home both tranquil and cozy. Carpet padding can also help even out transitions between rooms, if different carpeting is being used or if the flooring isn’t quite even.

So what kind of padding should you choose? Different carpets will require different materials and thicknesses, and different kinds of carpet padding fulfill different purposes. Special pads exist for odor control, memory foam provides added comfort, and more. A knowledgeable flooring contractor can help you decide. Keep in mind that your padding will also need to be replaced regularly, depending on the lifespan of the type you opt for.
