A carpet is a machine or handmade textile that works with a defined size and is usually laid in a free space one wishes to highlight, or a recreation area, particularly in the soft furnishings. Unlike the soft cover, the carpets not be attached to the floor, they are portable, as required.
The design and use of
A good carpet is a design value, so it is often purchased only to decorate the space. However, most carpets and a practical function – it is an excellent thermal and acoustic insulator (about 10% reduces the costs for space heating, 10 times better than the parquet or laminate dampens noise).
Advantage over the soft cover: because the carpet is only applied on the floor, it can be removed, leave the field to take a shake or cleaning.
When buying a carpet, usually want to make it as long as you keep their original appearance. Carpet lifetime depends on the quality, which in turn affects the production technology, material, mat density of the surface layer, the application method and color characteristics.
Quality indicators
Carpets produced industrially and also make them by hand. Handmade carpets are significantly more expensive because they are woven carpet backing of the walls of each fiber node separately, which makes it possible to create virtually any pattern ornaments.
One of the most important indicators of the quality of the carpet, which is largely determined by the price of the product, the node density per square meter. The denser the carpet, the top layer, because it is better quality and will last longer. Industrial woven carpets, this density can be from 300 thousand units per 1 sq.m. up to 2 million. In contrast, the handmade carpets density can reach about 10 million nodes and 1 sq.m. Chinese-produced carpets density measured in a different way – the number of rows per foot.
Another criterion affecting the price of the carpet is the base material. Oriented toward the floor carpet party is often of synthetic jute, rarely – from natural jute. Carpet with such a foundation can be safely applied to any floor, this floor Noboa.
The quality of the carpet and the material from which the carpet is dawn. Traditionally, carpets made from wool, available in silk cotton and synthetic fiber carpets.
Carpet material and quality
Wool rugs are resistant to abrasion and mechanical impact, so in rooms where a large walking, it is best to use wool rugs. Wool is flexible enough – it returns to the initial stage after severe enough load, so the wool rugs remain in the furniture foot pad.
The third criterion that affects the quality of the carpet and the price of the painting. It is important to know some of the dyes and dyeing technology is used
Expensive, high-quality carpet dyeing using natural dyes. Cheap synthetic colors easily deduced from the fact that a new carpet felt an unpleasant odor.
Today, most carpets are produced industrially, hand-made Persian carpets from Iran, only a few can afford. However, the fact that a carpet woven on machines does not mean that it is bad. Also, these rugs are high enough density to provide for its life.
