Puzzle Floor versus Carpet

At first glance, carpet seems more economical to install than Puzzle Floor™. In reality, reviewing the service life of both surfaces, Puzzle Floor™ is a more economical investment. In addition Puzzle Floor™’s hardwood surface is considerably more hygienic and provides a healthier living environment.

Here’s why Puzzle Floor™ is a better flooring solution. Typically, carpet under normal use would need to be replaced every 5 to 7 years. With a 25 year Residential Wear Warranty, Puzzle Floor™’s solid hardwood construction can last decades before even needing to be refinished. And with a solid 5/8" thickness, Puzzle Floor™ can be refinished without affecting the integrity of the floor.

Add the cumulative cost of replacing carpet and the necessary commercial carpet cleaning required over the years and Puzzle Floor™ quickly becomes the obvious economical choice.

Even more important than the economics of which flooring product is a better buy, is your health and the cleanliness of your home. Puzzle Floor™’s hardwood surface is simply cleaner. Dirt is readily visible and can be quickly vacuumed or swept. With carpet, dirt lodges into the fibers, creating a perfect environment for bacteria and germs to proliferate. Tests show that used carpeting removed from homes have increased in weight up to 35%. This additional 35% weight gain is simply household dirt trapped by the carpet’s fibres. The families who owned this old carpeting were actually living with this “hidden” dirt.
