New Stair Carpet in Gatley, Stockport Fitted

Did you know that over 43,000 people are hospitalised every year because of falls on stairs. Carpeted stairs are a good practical choice and significantly cut down on the risk, especially in comparison to laminate stairs in the home. That’s because carpet gives better traction and reduces the likelihood of slipping or failing. Carpet also reduces noise when walking up and down the stairs. Wood typically creaks under the pressure of feet, but carpet can remedy that, especially if you have a house full of kids who run up and down the stairs all day. Carpet also adds a touch of warmth and comfort too. Statistics show that carpets can reduce heat loss from homes by up to 20%!
