Types of carpet

Woven carpeting possesses greater strength, therefore it is the most expensive. Its base looks like a glue mesh, the same as that of carpets. Among this type of coverage are loop nap and fleecy, as well as their varieties. Tafting has some differences in the structure of the first and second pads. Needle-piercing differs in higher wear resistance than previous types of carpet. This coating is intended for use in places of heavy traffic.How to choose a carpet?
The color, pattern and texture of the pile can be selectedbased on the aesthetic preferences of the buyer. But performance characteristics need to be given special significance. To understand how high the quality of the product, you should pay attention to its marking. Today in Russia all types of carpet have the standard European classification EN65 and marking corresponding to the product class, made in the form of pictograms. If the coating is intended for home use, then on the back of the carpet will be drawn an icon in the form of a house and number 2. If for offices, then figure 3 will be applied, for production premises - 4. On the fabric basis, alongside this marking, there will be icons the form of human figures. These icons indicate the possible intensity of motion for a given floor covering. The more figures, the higher its durability and the ability to take loads.Which carpet is better?
For a bedroom, the best choice iscover with marking 21, man and house. If the apartment is inhabited by 1-2 people, then the carpet should be bought in the hallway. If the living space is regularly used by 3-4 people, then the preferred brand is 31.

One of the most popular decoration materialsfor the floor in the nursery now has become a carpet due to its many advantages: softness, ability to retain heat, beauty and brightness, anti-slip, easy installation and care. It is important to follow several rules when choosing a baby carpet.
Instructions
1
Choosing from artificial or naturalmaterials, experts advise to focus on artificial. Strangely enough, however, natural carpet has many disadvantages: it can have ticks or other insects; over time, it can separate, forming microbes and organic dust on the surface of the floor, or molding under the influence of moisture. When choosing natural materials, it is better to talk with a doctor about possible allergies in the baby.
2
First of all, it is necessary to determine the type of coverage. In total there are three types of carpet in the way of manufacturing: woven, needle-punched and tufted. Woven carpet is made, as usual carpets, it is distinguished by wear resistance and durability, but it is the most expensive, because has a natural jute base. As a floor covering for a nursery this material is quite suitable.
3
Needle-piercing way of creating a carpetprovides for the material, in appearance more like felt - it is almost without pile, and the base of it is often made of rubber. This allows the material to be very durable and used in rooms with large cross-country capacity: offices, cinemas, other public areas, corridors. But for the children's material is not suitable, because sitting on it baby during the games will not be too pleasant.

The tufting method creates a carpet in whichthe pile is first pinned with needles in the backbone, and then fixed on the reverse side with the help of glue. Sometimes the base can be latex. This material is durable and affordable. Such a carpet can be different: with loops or individual villi. The loop carpet is stiffer, more wear-resistant, but difficult to clean. Pile carpeting can be long (more than 5 mm), medium (3-5 mm) or short-haired (less than 3 mm). Carpeting with a pile about 2-3 mm is quite suitable for a nursery.
5
Not only the length, but also the type of pile can be different: friezes, scrolls, velours, saxons, shags, etc. For children's rooms usually choose velor pile: the upper part of this coating is fluffed, creating a feeling of velor. It is easy to take care of such a material, it is very soft, and a large selection of bright colors only adds to its advantages.
6
When choosing a carpet in the nursery is also necessarypay attention to the density of the pile. The bigger it is, the more difficult it is to bend or crush villi. This allows the coating to retain its original appearance longer. On such a dense pile, there will be no signs of furniture, fallen objects or children's feet. If the density of the pile is low, it is better to choose a bright multi-colored material so that you can hide the appearing traces.
7
Choosing the color of the floor is another important aspectchildren's room decoration. For a long time there were children's colors, allowing to create in the child's room a whole city with cars, roads and huge buildings, a race track or a real castle of the princess. But if some drawings are appropriate for children 7-10 years old, then for older children such sex will no longer be by age. If the coating is provided for long-term use, it is better to give preference to abstract patterns and patterns that will suit both kids and adolescents.
