Carpet denotes a more relaxed, contemplative, and high status area because it is softer underfoot and therefore quieter. Moreover, designers can combine various colors, textures and patterns of carpet to create visual excitement, define specific work areas or to direct traffic in corridors and common areas. Corporations can also incorporate product colors and company logos in their flooring designs. Carpet also has low maintenance costs compared with other commerical floor coverings. The inherent cushioning and non-slip characteristics of carpet contribute to a comfortable and safe work environment by reducing the likelihood of falls and minimizing potential injuries. These properties also may help lower insurance costs in commercial enterprises. Additionally, insulating properties of carpet keep floors warm in winter and cool in summer which helps reduce heating and cooling costs. Likewise, carpet provides acoustical benefits by absorbing airborne sound, reducing surface noise generation, and helps block sound transmission to floors below. The current trend in carpeting is for increasing specification of nylon fiber carpets for their superior long-term performance, including their improved resistance to staining, soiling, matting, crushing, texture loss, and abrasive wear compared to other fibers.
