Fitted carpet and floor coverings

Carpet as a floor covering is available to almost everyone due to its low price, practicality and quick installation. For those who have not yet become acquainted with this type of flooring, we will tell you a little about it. Carpet is a soft floor covering designed to be laid around the entire perimeter of the room. When choosing a carpet, you should pay attention not only to the color and pattern, but also to the composition and appearance of the carpet. Today it can be found in offices, hotels, cinemas, public and entertainment establishments, apartments and country houses.

There are three types of carpet: woven, needle-punched (a thread is driven into the base with needles), tufted (the base is stitched with fleecy threads). For the living room it is best to use a tufted type of carpet, and for bedrooms - tufted with a high pile; it will please you like nothing else after a sweet sleep. Carpet has the following structure - pile, primary base, securing layer, secondary layer and is made from synthetic and natural yarn. According to the pricing policy, carpet made from natural yarn will cost significantly more. It is better to use it as carpets in a children's room , since it is: soft, which will not lead to injury to the child, thermal insulation, which will protect the child from colds, stable, easy to clean, antistatic.

The following materials are used to make carpet from synthetic fibers: polyamide, polypropylene, nylon, terclone, olefin, suprima. Nylon will serve you for 15 years, or even more; olephrine is considered a non-durable material. The base of the carpet can be: rubber, rubberized, rope, felt, foam. The pile in the flooring can be: multi-layered, short, cut and looped. A more durable coating is considered to be one with thick pile and grassroots knitting technique.

The warm and soft surface of the carpet, like “clothing” for your floor, will cover the entire room, create additional sound insulation, does not require any special care, and can be installed in any room, except those rooms where there is dampness and high humidity. Decorate the room with carpet with patterns and insulate your room, because it will be so nice to find yourself in your cozy apartment after a hard day at work!

FAQ

What is the difference between carpet flooring and a carpet?

Carpet flooring is a roll covering laid wall-to-wall across the entire room. A carpet is a separate fixed-size item. Carpet flooring is cheaper for large areas, creates a unified warm surface and provides better sound insulation.

Tufted or needle-punched carpet flooring — which is better?

Tufted — soft, warm, with pile, for living rooms and bedrooms. Needle-punched — rigid, very short felt-like pile, wear-resistant, for offices and corridors. For home use tufted is usually the better choice.

Can carpet flooring be installed by yourself?

Yes. Areas up to 15 m2 are easy to DIY: cut to size and fix with double-sided tape. For larger areas and staircases professional installation is recommended to avoid waves.
