The best and most useful floor coverings, or carpets and rugs to be more specific, are those that bring about visible comfort in homes. And when it comes to offering comfort, the most useful way in which carpets and rugs can contribute (and are expected to contribute) is to reduce all the unnecessary and unwanted noises. What you have to do for that is make informed choices.
This is to say that achieving the perfect kind of soundproofing, or at least noise reduction, starts with the right material (fiber) selection, those that can dampen sounds and vibrations and maintain peaceful interiors. The following guide by Fixit Dubai will thoroughly assist you in this regard and you will be able to make purchases which are highly cost-effective too.
List Of Carpet And Rug Materials That Offer Excellent Soundproofing
Think about how much productivity you can boost with the addition of a floor covering that keeps all noises away. The floor covering materials we shall be talking about ahead are also exceptionally lucrative for workspaces and offices, other than residential settings.
1- Wool
Wool fibers are inherently dense and thick, so carpets or rugs made from them have excellent soundproofing effects. This high-density fibrous structure also provides great insulation and can be a source of mind-blowing and constant warmth. Additionally, woolen carpets Dubai and rugs feel the softest underfoot, and their deluxe designs can beautify any area very quickly.
Another benefit of woolen soft floorings is fire safety, thanks to wool fibers being naturally fire-resistant. Even if you get a small sized woolen carpet or rug, your interiors will be peaceful for better sleep quality, trouble-free reading and/or hassle-free working.
2- Nylon
Nylon, being a synthetic fiber, makes really fine and most importantly, budget-friendly floor coverings. It is, by far, the best material choice for wall to wall carpets in Dubai and area rugs too. Nylon carpets and rugs reduce airborne noises to a great extent and are resilient enough to be used in all high-traffic areas. This makes them more practical than other options.
Other perks of nylon floor coverings is the ease of upkeep and improved traction. Also, these carpets or rugs do not get stained easily, so there’s no need for frequent or detailed cleaning. This feature makes them a useful option for soundproofing in homes with pets and kids.
3- Polyester
Polyester is another decent carpet and rug material that offers efficient soundproofing and is also very soft to touch. Carpets made with polyester are suitable for both moderate and intense use and can make interiors greatly peaceful for all kinds of activities. In addition, they don’t wear out quickly and can be a practical option due to their inexpensive maintenance needs.
Home theatres, personal libraries, study rooms and home offices are just a few of the areas where you can benefit from polyester rugs and carpets. Besides, you can also get carpets or rugs having blends of polyester and other fibers like cotton or nylon for more strength and durability.
4- Olefin
Also called Polypropylene, Olefin is a synthetic fiber which provides moderate sound absorption. Still, it makes quite a decent material for carpets and rugs because of its resilience and high performance. Most importantly, it can withstand moisture, thus can be used in every space, even outdoors too. It is also resistant to mold/mildew damage and all kinds of stains.
For the most effective soundproofing, it is recommended to use olefin carpets or rugs with thick padding, preferably felt or memory foam. These floor coverings can last for many years which makes them a cost-effective choice, particularly for areas like laundry rooms and basements.
5- Rubber
While not necessarily a carpet or rug material, rubber makes an excellent underlayment or padding which can be incredibly helpful in dampening impact noises and vibrations. The two main types used for making rug pads are vulcanized rubber and crumb rubber. Underlays made from rubber are also good at reducing airborne noises for quieter homes or workspaces.
Having a rubber padding will also keep your carpets safe from fraying, crushing, matting and moisture damage, therefore boosting their durability. In addition, rubber underlays provide the best insulation for rooms. If you seek an eco-friendly option, go for recycled crumb rubber pads.
