Carpets are a very popular preference of flooring, especially in areas of your house where comfort is crucial, like living rooms and bedrooms. Carpet defines a type of flooring in which a material is either woven or tufted to a backing cloth. Carpets are available in a large range of colours and styles to complement any type of interior decor, as well as in many different kinds of fibre and piles. A few of the more widespread examples of fibre materials include the synthetic fibres polypropylene and nylon, and the natural fibres wool, sisal, or jute. These types of carpet are typically available in short or deep pile and can be made using a range of production methods, such as twist, Saxony, loop pile, Berber, cut and loop, or velvet. Carpets may come in patterned, plain or striped designs.
All of the various kinds of carpet are rated according to their performance and how effectively they are suited to different amounts of traffic. They are typically 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 install carpet with a layer of underlay underneath, as this can increase the look and feel of the carpet, as well as increasing its life and delivering better sound and thermal insulation.
