All about carpets. Tips from the online store 'A Thousand and One Carpets'

The carpet market is very large, from restrained and refined style to bright and expressive models. Choosing the right textile product can create some problems for the average person, as it is necessary to solve two main dilemmas:

- how to properly approach the choice of a model;
- where to buy a quality, affordable product.

Any of us dreams not just to buy a carpet, but to choose such a product that we can proudly say: "at our place the coziest apartment".

How to choose correctly?

A carpet product can be placed anywhere, so first you need to determine which room in your apartment you are choosing this item for. Because the material from which the product is made must withstand the necessary operating conditions.

The material for manufacturing can be either natural (wool, airy silk, and cotton) or synthetic (acrylic or viscose, heat-set and others) raw materials.

Wool

Since ancient times, wool has been the most common fiber in carpet weaving. Because wool is durable and very strong, resistant to mechanical stress and practically does not wear out. Wool products are elastic, the fiber returns to its original state after significant loads. Wool fibers have the property of reflecting light in all directions, so they look soft.

Advantages of wool carpets:
- high wear resistance;
- good sound and thermal insulation;
- can have a beneficial effect on humans;
- fire safety;
- importantly, durability.

Disadvantages of wool carpets:
- may cause allergies;
- high cost.

Silk

Silk has been used in carpet production since time immemorial. Silk products are thin, light and very elegant, with a glossy shine. The yarn is thin, but at the same time has high strength, which makes it possible to create products of the highest density. Silk models have detailed elaboration of the applied pattern and are durable.

One of the most expensive natural fibers is silk, so it is used less often in the manufacture of carpets than wool.

Cotton

Most often, cotton is used as the base of the carpet, because it holds its shape well because it does not stretch. Recently, cotton carpets are becoming more and more popular. Belgian factories produce elegant carpets that are one hundred percent cotton.

Acrylic

Acrylic yarn is a high-quality synthetic material that easily replaces wool. If you feel this material, at first glance it is very similar to wool and even has some of its advantages, it is soft and airy, has bright, rich non-fading colors. Products from these yarns are significantly cheaper than those from wool fibers.

Viscose

Viscose fibers are made from natural material - wood pulp, so it is an artificial, not synthetic, material. These fibers and products made from them imitate silk. Viscose is very pleasant to the touch, comfortable, hygroscopic, breathable, does not accumulate static electricity. Such carpets have an affordable price.

Heat-set

For the manufacture of modern synthetic carpets, so to speak, of a new generation, the most popular high-quality fiber is heat-set. These fibers have increased strength, heat resistance, antistatic properties. Externally, products made from these fibers are similar to wool.
