There is not just one reason why hotels cannot often do without carpets as a flooring option, at least for some strategic areas.
In fact, from appearance, safety and maintenance perspectives, there are several factors that weigh in favour of carpets. Carpeting adds to the décor by using colour, patterns, and pile heights, helping one custom create an image of the property and make a style statement.
Carpet can also help save energy as it is an important contributor to the insulation of the indoor environment. Moreover, carpets feel good, soft, and easier on the feet. It also gives a “softer” feel to the room. Carpets also play a role in absorbing sound and carpets with padding further enhance this ability. It is also observed that slip-and-fall accidents occur less on carpeted floors as compared to hard surface floors. Many even believe that in the long run, purchase and maintenance of carpets cost less than hard surface flooring. Particularly, when it comes to cleaning carpets, one need not to ensure proper maintenance of carpets in hotels, housekeeping managers need to put in place adequate preventive measures such as regular vacuuming, stain removal exercises, periodic deep cleaning, and having maintenance schedule and records employ a lot of people to do the job. This less labour-intensive nature of the job brings down the cost significantly. Carpets are also being touted as “sustainable” products as old carpets can be easily recycled into new carpets and other products.
According to Anish Dewani, Purchase manager, Crowne Plaza Today, Gurugram, a hotel needs to plan it out well before going for carpet purchase.
