What Flooring is Best for Allergies?

I've heard it said before that floors such as hardwood or ceramic are best for allergies and asthma. It's sounds very logical really, because we all know carpet will trap dust. However the truth is that carpet isn't bad for allergies or asthma and in fact it maybe better then other choices.

The fact is that since carpet is trapping dust it's actually resulting in less dust floating around to be breathed in. As long as you vacuum regularly you should have a better air quality over all.

Here at Wholesale Carpets and Flooring we have a ton of hard surfaces choices, not just hardwood and ceramic. We also carry laminates, vinyl, cork, and bamboo. I want to stress here that neither carpet or hard surface floors are "bad for allergies" and the difference between the them in air quality is small. Carpet was just getting a bad rap here and we wanted to clear things up.
