Our carpet shop, located in Radcliffe, has an understanding outlook and we tend to the needs of our senior customers in Bolton, Bury and the Greater Manchester area with compassion and dignity. When somebody older wants to buy flooring, specific considerations apply. As we age, we become more unsteady on our feet. It doesn’t make good sense to buy a flooring product that could become slippery when wet and lead to dangerous falls.
Just as importantly, senior customers looking for a product will want a surface that is cushioned to protect their brittle bones if the worst ever happens.
This blog post looks at what our carpet shop can do for those in the golden years of their lives. It may surprise you to learn that North West Flooring Solutions Ltd has a stock range that will provide plenty of options for senior customers, and this will make their living experiences at home much safer.
We believe that carpet is the best choice for elderly customers in Bolton, Bury and Greater Manchester. A carpet has the softening effect a senior user might need and, if a fall does happen, it is less likely to lead to injury. Carpets also retain warmth, seal off gaps and stop heat from escaping. Having carpet laid in living space or in bedrooms will be a wise and safe decision.
Our carpet shop advises regular vacuuming so that senior customers with respiratory issues don’t suffer unnecessarily from dirt and dust.
North West Flooring Solutions Ltd understands that its senior customers won’t always have the money to spend on a new carpet. A cheaper option is a carpet tile. A tile is a small, square swatch of fabric made from the same materials as a normal carpet, but with a lower price point. The great thing about carpet tiles is that they are incredibly easy to lay down onto a floor.
Tiles from our carpet shop offer the same benefits as traditional carpet so, for an elderly person with a smaller budget, this is a great alternative.
Some of our senior customers from Bolton, Bury and Greater Manchester might consider vinyl a poor choice in case it gets wet and becomes a slipping hazard. Modern luxury vinyl tiles have a finish that is resistant to slips and this makes it a much better choice than traditional linoleum. LVT is also thicker than a standard flooring material and can absorb the impact of falls.
Our carpet shop supplies LVT in thicknesses of up to 8mm. Linoleum is much thinner. LVT also cleans very easily with a cloth after accidental spillages.
