The quality of carpet, in addition to the characteristics and processing of fibers, is closely related to the density, weight and twisting method of plush fibers. The denser the plush, the thicker the weight of the plush per unit area, the better the texture and appearance of the carpet can be maintained. Basically, short-haired and densely woven carpets are relatively durable.
There are two main methods to check the density and elasticity of general short-haired carpets. First, you can press the carpet with your thumb, and quickly return to its original state after pressing, indicating that the weaving velvet density and elasticity are good; or fold the carpet. The harder you see the bottom pad, it means that the plush is denser and durable. As for the importance of fluff, you can see the description on the label.
The material, weaving structure and processing of carpets are determined according to different environmental needs. Therefore, when purchasing, you can also select carpets of different materials, colors and specifications according to your personal needs. Generally, carpets are attached with labels to indicate the appropriate environment and ability to withstand the frequency of movement. Please read the instructions clearly.
When choosing a carpet, pay attention to the laying position and the amount of walking there. For areas that move frequently, such as entrance halls and halls, you should choose high-density and wear-resistant carpets (such as short-loop velvet and twisted velvet); for areas with low movement, such as bedrooms, you can choose high-lush and softer carpets (such as cutting velvet); for stairs, you should choose durable and non-slip types, and usually labels indicate that stairs are used together, avoid long-haired flat-loop velvet blankets, because the bottom of the blanket is easily exposed on the edge of the steps. As for places that are prone to stains, such as dining rooms, you should choose stain-treated carpets to facilitate cleaning.
Generally speaking, plain and pattern-free carpets are more likely to reveal stains and footprints; dust accumulation in cut-fleece carpets usually appears on the surface of the carpet, revealing stains, but dust is easy to clean, while ring-fleece is easy to accumulate dust in the bottom of the carpet and is more difficult to remove.
In places where sunlight is directly exposed to or damp, be careful that the carpet is faded and moldy. High-quality carpets are guaranteed to be processed without fading, anti-mold, mothproof and non-continuous combustion.
When purchasing artificial or synthetic carpets, you should pay attention to whether there are any guarantees such as dustproof, anti-fouling, wear resistance, and electrostatic control provided by the manufacturer. Generally high-quality household carpets are treated with wear resistance, anti-static and anti-fouling.
When purchasing carpets from the store, you can request the sample block to refer to the space for paving. Because the colors of the carpets seen will vary slightly under different lights, it is best to see the sample blocks under the light source of the actual laying space. After the carpet is laid in the whole piece, it is often slightly shallower than the sample. It should be considered when choosing.
Before purchase, you should measure the practical area of the room, calculate the curved corners and pay attention to the shape of irregular corners, so as to avoid wasting materials and inappropriate joint positions, which will affect the appearance. When requesting a quotation from a carpet company, you should also obtain the construction drawings at the same time to clarify the position and number of joints.
Before laying a carpet, check the flatness of the floor in advance, clean the floor thoroughly. When laying a full carpet, it is best to lay a bottom pad under the carpet. In addition to increasing the softness of the carpet, slowing down the loss of the carpet and making the carpet more durable, the bottom pad can also enhance the sound absorption ability. Commonly used materials for bottom pads include rubber, foam glue and shrink velvet. The higher the density of the bottom pad, the better the efficiency.
