Why wall-to-wall carpet as a floor covering

Our wall-to-wall carpet offers several advantages. The design possibilities are endless and our wall-to-wall carpet is sound absorbing, energy efficient, safe, warm and comfortable. Wall-to-wall carpet is supplied in rolls. These rolls are usually 4 meters wide, so that a roll of carpet can be laid continuously from wall to wall. Wall-to-wall carpet can also be installed on various subfloors. In this article we discuss the main advantages and possibilities.

Good acoustics

It is not for nothing that many theatres, concert halls and cinemas use wall-to-wall carpet. Sound is better and fuller with carpet in a room. The reverberation time of the sound waves, which are reflected by walls and furniture, is shortened by using carpet. Wall-to-wall carpet is also used in many hospitality areas. For example, think of cruise ships and hotels. Here, poor acoustics can be a major stumbling block to guest satisfaction. Bad noise can also be detrimental to health and well-being in other environments, for example because students or employees are less able to concentrate due to noise pollution.

Comfortable on the feet

Carpet feels less cold than hard floors and gives an extra comfortable feeling. Due to the insulating effect of carpet, less heat is lost through the floor compared to hard floors. This can save on energy bills. Wall-to-wall carpet also reduces the risk of slipping and reduces the impact in the event of a fall. This is a major advantage in care homes, for example.

Wall-to-wall carpet seems seamless

Because wall-to-wall carpet is often supplied in rolls of 4 meters wide, wall-to-wall carpet can be laid in such a way that a minimum number of seams are visible. Today there are even techniques and patterns that connect the different pieces of wall-to-wall carpet in such a way that the seams are no longer visible at all.

Wall-to-wall carpet is versatile

The broad surface of wall-to-wall carpet also gives a huge choice of prints, colours, textures and designs. For example, DESSO, in collaboration with Ex Interiors, has designed a collection of wall-to-wall carpet with no fewer than 115 different designs in five different color groups: Stone, Carmine, Amber, Leaf and Indigo.

Tailor-made carpet for even more design possibilities

In addition to our standard collections of wall-to-wall carpet, we also offer the option of choosing a custom carpet, or a customized design. With custom carpet it is possible to turn any floor into a work of art, because you are able to create specific colours and dimensions. This creates an extra luxurious look. It is possible for our customers to work with us in the creation of DESSO carpet tiles, wall-to-wall carpets and area rugs; and jointly arrive at tailor-made carpet designs.
