Advantages
of Carpets

The past and the future

Since the very earliest beginnings of human civilisation, carpets – as artfully crafted textile solutions – have accompanied the development of living spaces, and to this day remain an expression of comfort, culture and design identity.

DAS TEPPICHWERK, founded by Carl Vorwerk, looks back on a tradition spanning over 140 years, and: tradition is a commitment. That is why we are keen to help you understand the many benefits of textile floor coverings. Intrigued? Carpets and textile floor coverings in general – from broadloom and textile tiles to loose-lay carpets – offer a whole range of functional and design benefits that are often underestimated in many contexts of use. It is therefore worth taking a closer look.

Acoustic effects
Noise reduction and indoor comfort

Textile floor coverings have been shown to have a positive effect on room acoustics. Thanks to their fibrous structure, they absorb both impact sound and airborne sound. This leads to a noticeable reduction in footfall noise and reverberation, particularly in larger rooms or office environments.

Compared to hard floor coverings such as stone tiles, vinyl or parquet, a quieter, more pleasant acoustic atmosphere is created. This not only improves comfort but also the ability to concentrate.

A good choice for people with allergies

Modern carpets are suitable for people with allergies. They initially trap fine dust and allergens within their fibre structure, preventing them from circulating continuously in the air. With regular cleaning (particularly using a suitable vacuum cleaner), allergen levels can actually be lower than on smooth floors, where particles are stirred up every time someone moves. The key factors here are the quality of the product and an appropriate cleaning routine.

Design variety
(design, colour, texture)

One of the key advantages is the virtually unlimited range of design options. Carpet is available in a wide variety of colours, patterns, pile heights and surface textures.

Broadloom

Broadloom carpets creates uniform surfaces and a calm atmosphere in a room.

Textile Tiles

Textile tiles offer maximum flexibility: different colours and textures can be combined to define zones or create creative patterns. 

Rugs

Rugs add a touch of style and are easy to change.

Thermal comfort and cosiness
Textile floor coverings provide thermal insulation and feel warm underfoot. They help to reduce heat loss and significantly enhance the subjective comfort of a room – a factor that plays a major role particularly in residential settings, but also in hotels and offices.

Safety and Ergonomics
Carpet reduces the risk of slipping and can minimise the risk of injury in the event of a fall. It is also gentle on the joints, as it gives way slightly when walked on. This is particularly important in work environments where staff spend a lot of time standing or walking

Flexibility and sustainability (especially with textile tiles)
Textile tiles allow individual elements to be replaced as and when required in the event of damage or soiling, without having to replace the entire floor. This extends the product’s lifespan and can help conserve resources. DAS/TEPPICH/WERK offers recyclable products and a take-back scheme.

This makes carpet an important tool in interior design, particularly when it comes to creating atmosphere, defining zones and implementing corporate design.
