Hi everyone.
We need to replace carpet in our living room which faces almost north. We have floor height windows here that are about 3 metres wide and this is where the carpet has faded and started to disintegrate. I am wondering if we could put in about a 1 metre wide strip of dark coloured tiles here to improve our heat absorption in winter. Would this width be worth bothering with.
I still want carpet in the rest of the room because this is where the kids sit and play on the floor and I also prefer carpet underfoot.
Is it worth while to put in a 1 metre strip of tiles or is the area too insignificant to bother with. The room is very deep having the kitchen and dining areas beyond. The only part of the north wall where there is not a window is about 2 metres wide with a gas log fire and this area is already tiled.
I would cover the tiles with mats in summer to prevent heat absorption, plus we have roller shutters here so we can prevent any sun penetrating.
Any ideas?
