Hi all!
Just wanted to share my experience doing a carpet upgrade to my game room. My main motivator was sound - the room was super echo-y before with hardwood, and it made a HUGE difference. It also looks great and I did it in a way that's totally reversible, no damage to the nice hardwood underneath! Can't recommend more the "Neon Lights" line from Joy Carpets. It looks and feels amazing and being commercial grade I'm sure it will last a long time and handle heavy pins.
Attaching a photo of the completed project, but if you're curious about the process/LED light upgrade to light it up, details are on my blog at:
