HOW WARM IS CARPET?
Recently, tests carried out at the Johns Manville Technical Center Thermal Labs, one of the most sophisticated laboratories of its kind in the world, confirm carpet and pad significantly increase R-value compared to other flooring materials. Results varied according to the carpet's construction, with heavier products generally providing higher R-value. Carpets were tested with and without cushion, and the combination maximized the R-value.
Carpet really is warmer. Just to give you a comparison, test results from the different carpet constructions were compared to three hard surface products - ceramic tile, laminate, and engineered hardwood - and the differences were substantial:
Carpet vs. engineered hardwood: From 3 to 7 times the R-value.
Carpet vs. laminate: From 4 to 8 times the R-value.
Carpet vs. ceramic tile: From 8 to 17 times the R-value.
