Are you tired of staring at that old, stained carpet every day? The travertine and slate experts from Rino’s Tile & Stone in Anchorage, AK, want you to know that replacing your carpeting with natural stone may be just the thing to breathe new life into your home. There are several benefits to having natural stone flooring, so they’ve gathered a few of them below. 

3 Reasons to Replace Your Carpet With Natural Stone

1. Less Maintenance

Keeping up with carpet can sometimes be a handful, especially for those with children or pets. If you are always scrubbing the stains out of your carpet every time there’s an accident or want to spend more time on other things, replacing your carpet with natural stone may be a good idea. Not only is natural stone stain resistant, but it’s also much easier to keep clean; a damp rag or mop will easily clean your travertine or slate floors. 

2. Boost Home Value

If you’ve been racking your brain trying to think of a home improvement project that will also boost your home’s resale value, installing new granite or natural stone flooring can help. Potential homebuyers love to see durable flooring like travertine or limestone. Because of the lower maintenance costs, many of those looking for a new home are also willing to pay a little more for a house with natural stone flooring, ensuring you easily recoup your initial installation costs. 

3. Allergy Relief

For those who suffer allergies during the spring and summer, doing away with your carpet can be a great way to breathe a bit easier in the home. Installing natural stone will also ensure that allergens and other airborne debris aren’t tracked into your house and buried in the fibers of your carpet, only to be recirculated every time you walk across the room; natural stone will also benefit those who are particularly sensitive to pet dander.
