It’s an exciting time of the house build project when you are able to start thinking about flooring and carpeting. Whether you are building new or revamping the old, flooring plays an important role in a house’s practicality and appearance.
You want your flooring to flow through your home but to still look visually appealing, and that’s why consideration needs to be given to the type of flooring or carpets that should be used. Another consideration to think about is the type of flooring accessories that you will need to accompany this.
Flooring accessories help finish off the installation. They make the floors more durable and help round off a neat and seamless look. In this blog post, we take a look at two of the most essential flooring accessories that you should consider buying for your home or office.
Carpet Underlay
A popular flooring accessory used for carpeting, the material is placed under the carpets. The carpet underlay is an essential choice as it has many advantages:
- Durabile – Your carpet is protected from looking flat by providing that extra spring.
- Comfort – You’ll feel like you are walking on cushions all day long.
- Longevity – The underlay absorbs the impact and prevents general wear and tear.
Skirting
Skirting is also generally paired with carpets but can be used for all flooring. Normally, what looks like a thin wooden plank is placed at the bottom of the wall joining to the floor. This flooring accessory helps secure the carpet in place, if applicable, and does not allow any air, dirt or dust to get under the flooring.
Skirting can come in many designs and colours, although most people opt for the white painted wood with a simple small design on the top. There are many colours that can be used to match the theme of the room.
