Carpets

Carpets are a very popular preference of flooring, particularly in rooms of your house where comfort is crucial, like living rooms and bedrooms. Carpet designates a kind of flooring in which a material is either woven or tufted to a backing cloth. Carpets are available in a large array of colours and patterns to suit any type of interior decoration, as well as in a multitude of different types of fibre and piles. A number of the more widespread examples of fibre materials include the synthetic fibres polypropylene and nylon, and the natural fibres wool, sisal, or jute. These kinds of carpet are frequently available in short or deep pile and can be produced by utilising a variety of production methods, such as twist, Saxony, loop pile, Berber, cut and loop, or velvet. Carpets can come in patterned, plain or striped designs. All of these diverse types of carpet are rated according to their performance and how effectively they stand up to different levels of traffic. They are generally rated 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 can enhance the appearance of the carpet, as well as increasing its life and offering better sound and thermal insulation.
