Advantages of Wall-to-Wall Carpets
Wall-to-wall carpets offer many advantages over rugs. Here, we have gathered some key characteristics and benefits of wall-to-wall carpets:
Sound and Heat Insulation
Wall-to-wall carpets provide an insulated layer due to their texture. This feature makes you feel warmer and more pleasant when walking on them.

Taking all factors into account, there isn’t an exact value, but wall-to-wall carpets typically last more than 5 years. Currently, in our office, we have a needle-felt carpet that is 15 years old. With proper care, a fitted carpet can last even longer than 15 years.

Preventing Allergies
Wall-to-wall carpets don’t absorb dirt. This significant advantage helps prevent allergies, which come in various forms—not just limited to sneezing and coughing. They sometimes appear as skin issues like itching. Remember, sensitizing factors exist everywhere, even in your home.
Convenient to Walk
Have you ever thought about how tired you get when walking on old-fashioned flooring like stones and ceramic for long hours? Old-fashioned floorings lack flexibility, exerting significant pressure on the body. However, wall-to-wall carpets, especially high-pile ones (more than 12mm), are much more convenient to walk on due to their softness. Additionally, sitting or lying on wall-to-wall carpets is more pleasant. This point is especially important for families with children.
Final Word
Wall-to-wall carpets have many advantages and are a perfect option for floor covering. However, the most important factor in deciding on flooring is the place where you intend to use it. Therefore, we recommend considering the location and its characteristics, such as foot traffic and atmosphere, before choosing an appropriate flooring.
