Should you switch to carpets?
Have you ever wondered why most international hotels still have carpeting in most of their rooms when there are so many other flooring options available?
Sure, as Flooring experts, we agree that Hardwood, Engineered wood, Laminate, and Vinyl flooring are fantastic but there is a lot to be said for carpeting, too, and hoteliers the world over know this.
Are Guesthouse Owners Switching to Carpets?
Now, in winter, when most Guesthouse Owners, and those who have holiday homes in the Cape, are renovating in preparation for the next summer season, we are finding that many are leaning towards using carpets, at least in certain rooms.
So, this begs the question: “Why are Guesthouse Owners Switching to Carpets?’’ Have they discovered something about carpets that hoteliers know? Not really. They have simply discovered that there are many great reasons to do so. Let’s take a look at just a few of these…
Carpets are tougher than you think! – In times gone by, people believed that carpets would fade, stain, etc and never last as long as modern floors. This is no longer true, as carpets, now made with new, tougher stain-resistant materials, are just as tough as many of their flooring counterparts.
Carpets are warmer and spoil your guests – Let’s face it, even in summer floors can get quite cold at night, and there is nothing better than stepping out of bed onto a lovely, plush, warm carpet. They feel so luxurious that your guest will believe they are in a five star establishment, and that keeps them coming back for more!
Carpets are a Decorator’s dream – Available in such a massive range of colours, styles, patterns and textures, from hard-wearing carpet tiles, to carpets so thick-piled and luxurious, your guest will feel like they are walking on air – Decorators and all those who love to decorate beautifully, just love them.
Carpets are actually healthier! – Gone are the days when carpets were believed to be the cause of allergies. Research has shown that they actually trap dust and allergens that would otherwise be rising into the air. Therefore, with normal daily vacuuming, the allergy threat can be minimised.
These are just a few examples of why Guesthouse Owners are switching to carpets.
