The death of carpet is severely overstated! While many people are selecting wood, wood laminate, natural stone and tile flooring, carpeting is not dead. Carpeting provides a softer and sometimes more relaxing environment in rooms than harder surfaces. For parents with young children, carpeting provides a soft surface you can feel comfortable to lay your child on. Over time, carpet does wear out and needs to be replaced. In this weeks “What We Are Reading”, we help you determine when to replace your carpeting and what your flooring choices are, including carpet itself.

Bamboo and cork are great environmentally friendly choices that can provide a softer surface.
