Carpets are a very popular preference of flooring, especially in areas of the home where comfort is essential, 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 can be purchased in a huge array of colours and styles to suit any type of interior decor, as well as in a number of different kinds of fibre and piles. Some of the more prevalent types of fibre materials include the man-made fibres polypropylene and nylon, and the natural fibres wool, sisal, or jute. These types of carpet are usually 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 the various kinds of carpet are rated according to their performance and how well they stand up to different levels of traffic. They are typically graded 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 increase the look and feel of the carpet, as well as extending its life and offering better sound and thermal insulation.
