Occasional wet floors due to condensation, flooding? Just guessing.

Insulation perhaps. That's one reason in the Middle Ages tapestries were hung over cold rock walls in castles.

Most Russians live in apartments bordered by thin walls. Hanging rugs on the walls provided sound insulation, making it harder for their next-door neighbors to eavesdrop on their conversations.

live in a southern state in older housing, walls are frigid due to global warming. I love antique tapestries, especially French. Would be a good art project. hmmm. spend less time at Free Republic? Haven’t been able to do so for years now. Must be my Eve-wants-to-know-everything-disorder.
