Is carpet a good choice for a kid’s room?

Carpet flooring is an excellent choice for your child's bedroom, even if they have a pet that likes to visit from time to time! If a pet is part of the household, a pet-friendly brand or a reliable nylon carpet may be the best choice for the room. 

Benefits of pet-friendly carpet flooring

In addition to providing a soft place to play and a protective cushion for falls, carpet flooring muffles noise and brings warmth to a room. Upkeep is not the chore it was in years past. 

There are many highly stain-resistant brands on the market today that are easy to clean, and some of these brands even resist pet accidents. 

Good choices 

Mohawk's SmartStrand brand is made of triexta, a newer fiber similar to nylon in durability. While SmartStrand is designed with pets in mind, it's also ideal for any homeowner who desires a tough yet soft carpet. 

Easily replaceable carpet tiles, available in aesthetically pleasing brands, are another option for consideration.

Carpet padding

Padding, also called underlayment, is always placed beneath carpet flooring to keep it from quickly becoming worn and to enhance the carpet’s performance. Specifically, padding:

● Protects the subfloor from liquid spills when a moisture barrier is included.
● Provides additional cushioning and thermal and sound insulation.
● Allows for better airflow so that a vacuum cleaner can remove more dirt. 
● Absorbs the shock of footsteps.
