Carpet Capres Choosing the right carpet for your lifestyle



There is no other flooring option that offers the comfort and tranquility of a carpet. Now there is not only a lot of colors and carpet patterns to choose from, there are also a wide variety of types for all home and home styles.

The carpet is a good choice because it is warm and soft, especially for children who crawl or play on the ground. Carpet is much quieter than other flooring, especially hardwood surfaces. Carpet is also an economical option because the product itself and installation costs are much lower than other types of flooring.

Here is an overview of the main types of carpets on the market today.

Saxony The Saxony carpet is smooth and has a cut pile surface. It is mainly used in traditional or formal rooms.

Textured Saxony or Shag This type of rug has a more relaxed appearance and is very popular with families. The textured surface of this type can hide footprints, which means less maintenance for you.

Velvet As its name suggests, this is a suitable type for very formal and elegant rooms. It has a very thin sheared surface. Because of its aptitude for formal parts and the required maintenance, it is not an option as popular as other types of carpets.

Frize This type of carpet is extremely resistant and is therefore ideal for busy rooms. It has an almost gnarled textured appearance, making it a less popular option although it resists wear.

Cut and Loop (or Random-Sheared) Cut and Loop has a very distinctive appearance with cuts and loops of different sizes on the surface. It works in a variety of rooms because multiple colors and multiple layers help hide traffic and stains.

Level Loop and Multilevel Loop These two types of mats consist of loops (with a level loop, all loops are level, while with a multiple loop, there are different levels of loops). Both are very durable and stand up well in high traffic areas. They look casual rather than elegant.

Once you have chosen the type of carpet you want to install, you need to keep a few other things in mind.

You will need to consider the different types of nylon, olefin, polyester, acrylic and wool carpet fibers. Nylon is the most popular of these fibers because of its cost and ability to mask wear and stains. Other types of fibers have other advantages, but nothing can match the durability and glossy staining of nylon fibers.

It will also be useful to know the twists of the wire. With carpet, the rule is that the tighter the wire, the better. You want to look for a rug with a shorter nap. The longer the nap is, the harder it is for the carpet to resist crushing. Your carpet will look newer longer if you choose one with a shorter nap. The sutures per inch also contribute to the compressive strength of a carpet. Try to choose a rug that has more threads or stitches per inch to increase the matte resistance and compression of your carpet. If you buy a loop pile, you need to consider the density of the loop and the amount of space in the middle of the loop because the closer the loop is, the better the wear will be.

Once you have chosen the type of carpet (taking into account the fibers, the pile and the twist of the thread), you must choose a pattern and a color. There are many, many options available nowadays. You may want to consider a plain, neutral color that will accompany many colors and patterns of walls and furnishings. You do not want to have to change your carpet every time you redecorate, so try to choose something that is versatile.
