Reducing noise with area rugs

There are plenty of reasons to choose an area rug in Willow Grove, PA, including d?cor matching and protection. But did you know these products also help reduce noise in any area of your home?

It's one of the many extended benefits these products offer, and you'll love everything about it. Here are some facts to help you choose the best area rugs for your home.

How do area rugs reduce noise?

Some studies have proven that certain pieces can reduce room noise by almost 50%, giving you impressive peace. For example, an area rug or carpet can dampen the sound of various things that cause noise, including shoes, pets, toys, and moving furniture.

Area rugs reduce noise by blocking the sound made when a shoe or toy meets hard surface flooring. This blockage works incredibly well in upstairs bedrooms and hallways where kids have free reign.

Another way is to absorb sounds that float through the air, like voices, music, and electronics. This method reduces the vibrations of the noise so that levels aren?t so high, creating a quieter space.

Which rugs are best for noise reduction?

Thick, plush rugs work well to combat the noise level in your home, absorbing sound and vibrations. Flat pieces don?t work as well to reduce sound, but they can at least alleviate some shoe clicking.
