Have you considered installing new carpet in your home? It’s a big job that is not going to be easy. You will need to do your homework to find the best deal and to understand how to properly install the carpet. I have done a little research about this subject. We live in a small house that is wall to wall tile. I cannot stand it. When it’s cold -it’s so much colder in my house. When my kids are loud, the tile floor makes them so much louder. And when they hit their head on the floor it hurts a little more because of the tile.
I would love to install carpet in my cold, drafty, loud house. So I was curious to see how difficult it would be to install carpet and how expensive it would be to install carpet. I knew it would not be cheap and easy but I wanted more information. I am a little torn because I think that wood floors would also be nice. They do not seem as hard and as cold as tile floors. I did read a few benefits about wood floors at woodfloors.org but I think that I will stick with carpet. I would much rather vacuum than wash floors.
I found some DIY sites that talked about installing carpet. You basically have to install tackless strips, lay the carpet padding, trim your carpet to the correct size, glue the carpet, stretch the carpet, and then trim the finished product. There is so much information online.
I found a good deal on carpet at a wholesale carpet distributors website online. A wholesale carpet distributors online store seems to omit the middle man so you can get the best value for your money. They have a large selection of types of carpet and colors. I prefer to shop online because I know that I can easily filter the products I like and I can usually get the best deal.
