Classification of carpet products by type of material

Synthetic and natural materials are used in the production of carpets. Each type has its own structural features, advantages and disadvantages, which affect pricing, wear resistance, and cleaning recommendations. There is a mixed type, when manufacturers combine several materials during production.

Natural ones are considered the most expensive and highest quality. Semi-synthetic is the most common option due to its affordable cost and ease of maintenance. Fully synthetic - the most durable and cheapest. This is not a very suitable option for decorating a bedroom, because... they look simple and ordinary. Which composition to choose is up to the owners to decide, based on their preferences and financial capabilities.

Popular materials from which carpet is made include the following.

• Natural wool

The most durable and warm products. Wear-resistant, pleasant to the touch with elastic pile. They do not differ in bright colors due to the complexity of dyeing and require careful care.

• Cotton

Inexpensive option, does not cause allergies, and is easy to clean. Easily wrinkles and deforms. If exposed to moisture, it wears out quickly.

• Silk

The most expensive option of the highest quality, very durable. Bright, unusual products, often handmade, with a clear pattern and shiny surface.

• Durable nylon (nylon, polyamide)

The most picky in care. They have a smooth structure. They dry quickly and do not shrink. They fade from direct sunlight and become electrified.

• Polypropylene

The texture is similar to wool. They are distinguished by their low price, ease of cleaning, rich color, and resistance to external adverse factors.

• Viscose

Cheap imitation silk. Products with colorful fancy patterns and gloss. Vulnerable when wet.

Among the materials there are also microfiber, jute, fur and animal skins, acrylic, hat-set, mat, etc.
