Carpets are a hugely popular selection of flooring, particularly in rooms of your house where comfort is valuable, like living rooms and bedrooms. Carpet designates a type of flooring in which a material is either woven or tufted to a backing cloth. Carpets come in a huge range of colours and patterns to match any style of interior decoration, as well as in a wide variety of different types of fibre and piles. A number of the more common types of fibre materials include the synthetic fibres polypropylene and nylon, and the natural fibres wool, sisal, or jute. These kinds of carpet are commonly available in short or deep pile and can be made using a variety of production methods, such as twist, Saxony, loop pile, Berber, cut and loop, or velvet. Carpets are available in patterned, plain or striped designs.
All of the different types of carpet are categorised according to their performance and how well they are suited to different amounts of traffic. They are normally specified to be either medium domestic, meaning bedrooms or studies, heavy domestic, specifying living and dining rooms, and very heavy domestic, suited to utility rooms or hallways. It is always recommended to fit carpet with a layer of underlay underneath, as this will increase the appearance of the carpet, as well as increasing its life and delivering better sound and thermal insulation.
