Far from being a first-order in the home such as appliances, sofa or bed, carpets claim their prominence when the house is almost furnished, which emphasizes the superiority of its importance on the aesthetic functionality. However, this is not always so. Families with young children, who always play on the floor and walk barefoot through the house-and-older people more likely to feel cold, the carpets contribute to better keep the heat from the house and avoid dangerous slips.
Its location, size and quality requirements of the familial determine the choice of one model or another. Although the classic carpets of wool and acrylic are still the queens, in recent years this market has evolved significantly in materials, colors, sizes and designs. You can buy of area rugs from plant fibers combined with leather borders or edges, passing through the Persian classics, to the composite of synthetic fibers.
The choice of material is key when a family member suffers from asthma or respiratory problems. The accumulation of dust on the carpets contribute to the deterioration of the status of these individuals, although the National Association of Manufacturers of carpets and rugs warns that pose no risk if subjected to proper cleaning and maintenance, as well as a smooth development process from raw material quality. In these cases, you should choose to put carpet fibers, cheap rugs and with less resistance to stains, but they offer a better result than the natural fiber (wool).
Key elements that determine the acquisition of a carpet
* Color and style of furniture. From an aesthetic point of view, the carpets must combine style and color, with the other furniture of the room.
* Quality of the base. The base insulates from the cold, lengthens the life of the carpet and makes the tread more comfortable. It should not be too soft, and you can do a stomp insecure, and should contain rubber if we want to avoid slipping.
* Density and texture. The height and curly hair determines the degree of softness. Density (amount of hair) is checked by pushing down with your fingertips. Higher density increases the weight of the carpet makes it stronger and more deeply tread.
* Size. In the market, offer a large number of standard sizes.
* Tinted. Most dyes use chemicals. We must look at the carpet label certifying that the ink has passed inspections and quality audits.
* Production process. It can be mechanical or manual. The first machines used to weave the threads and set the pile (visible), which gives strength to the product. The second hand knotted threads and not resort to further processing of consistency, the carpet is, in principle, less resilient.
