Update Fiber Carpet Padding in St. George

If you own an older home in St. George it may be time to update the carpet along with the ancient fiber padding that lies beneath it. Fiber padding was used several years ago and is usually made from organic material such as animal hair. While this may seem as an earth conscience way to go instead of the current foam or rubber padding, fiber padding poses other risks. While the fibers are strewn very closely together, more space is present that in foam or rubber padding which can lead to excess dirt and germs getting trapped in the close knit fibers. This can pose as a health risk if contaminants seep into the padding and can put allergy sufferers constantly reaching for a tissue. Fiber carpet padding is also not as even as rubber or foam padding and can create extreme wear and tear on the carpet causing the carpet to need replacement sooner.
