Carpets are a very popular preference of flooring, in particular in rooms of the home where comfort is important, like living spaces and bedrooms. Carpet identifies a variety of flooring in which a material is either woven or tufted to a backing cloth. Carpets come in a huge range of colours and designs to match any style of interior decor, as well as in a wide variety of different types of fibre and piles. Several of the more popular examples of fibre materials include the man-made fibres polypropylene and nylon, and the natural fibres wool, sisal, or jute. These kinds of carpet are usually available in short or deep pile and can be produced by employing a range of manufacturing methods, such as twist, Saxony, loop pile, Berber, cut and loop, or velvet. Carpets may appear in patterned, plain or striped designs.
All of these various kinds of carpet are categorised according to their performance and how well they are suited to different levels of traffic. They are usually specified to be either medium domestic, meaning bedrooms or studies, heavy domestic, specifying living and dining rooms, and very heavy domestic, suitable for utility rooms or hallways. It is always recommended to fit carpet with a layer of underlay underneath, as this will improve the look and feel of the carpet, as well as increasing its life and providing better sound and thermal insulation.
