Warming a house with a carpet
In cold weather, I want to add something to the house to make it warmer and more comfortable. After all, this will make the cold season a little easier to survive. A carpet can be an ideal and budget option.
In addition, having a carpet during the cold season will help reduce the risk of catching colds.
How to choose the right carpet
In order to buy carpets for home insulation, but not to be disappointed in the product, it is recommended to pay close attention to the following characteristics:
➦ Material
It is best to choose carpets made from natural materials. For example, wool is just perfect. Of course, if you want to add a carpet with a beautiful ornament to the interior of the room, then you can consider carpets made of synthetic materials, but they are still inferior in quality and service life.
➦ Pile length
For the autumn-winter period, it is best to choose carpets with a long pile. They retain heat more. However, it is worth remembering that cleaning them can be quite problematic.
➦ Density of the product
It is best to opt for densely woven carpets. In combination with long pile, their ability to keep warm will be several times higher. In addition, such carpets will not crumple under your weight and can be easily positioned even in the most frequently walked room.
Which rooms should be insulated with a carpet and which shouldn't
If you are faced with the choice of insulating a house or apartment with a carpet or "warm house", then there are several recommendations.
➤ Arguments in favor of carpet
The carpet, as it turned out, is much cheaper, but requires some maintenance. In this regard, it is recommended to place it in bedrooms, living rooms and children's rooms. Although the carpet will get dirty in these rooms, cleaning it will not cost you a pretty penny.
In addition, the carpet, or rather the carpet runner, can be placed in the corridor. This will not only make the floor warm, but also visually expand the space.
➤ Arguments for a warm home
Since the carpet is rather difficult to clean, it is not recommended to place it in the kitchen space. Firstly, because of the likelihood of leaving a dirty and difficult to remove stain, and secondly, it is necessary to take into account a sufficiently large number of characteristics in order for the carpet to become a useful and not a traumatic part of the interior.
In this regard, it is better to install a warm floor in the kitchen.
How to insulate a house with a carpet to make it stylish
Having decided on the characteristics and where the carpet will be located, the question arises: how to decide on the design? Here it is worth starting from what exactly you want.
There are those who want to insulate the floor, but do not want the carpet to spoil the overall design of the room. In this case, it is recommended to choose plain carpets that will be combined with the shades of the room design or warm bedding shades. After all, as you know, warm colors can trick the human brain and help carpet to better cope with the task of heating.
But there are those who want to insulate the house with a twist. This option is most suitable for those who have a rather simple room design and want to add some zest with the help of a carpet. Here you can choose any carpet patterns and designs, but we recommend sticking to warm colors. Indeed, in the winter season, warm shades not only have a positive effect on thermal conductivity, but also on mood.
Thus, we found out that the carpet is an excellent and most budgetary tool that can insulate the floor in any house or any apartment.
