CARPET INFORMATION

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING CARPET

Quality carpet; It is a carpet that fully meets your needs and will make you happy both while looking at it and using it. However, the factors that determine the quality of the carpet are hidden in technical details such as yarn type, weaving density and pile height.

The type of yarn used in weaving the carpet is one of the most important factors determining the quality. You can use carpets produced with the appropriate yarn type for the area you will use for a longer time.

Another important factor is the yarn density. The more often a carpet is woven, the more durable it is. As a tightly woven carpet will be heavier than others, it will slide more difficult on the floor, but if you are going to buy a carpet with a low weaving density, you should be careful that it has a non-slip base feature.

The pile height of the carpet is another factor that determines its quality. The feeling of your carpet varies according to the pile height, but the main thing here is to choose the most suitable height according to the area of ​​use, not how high the pile is.

Rugs with high weaving density, soft texture, bright colors and bright colors should be your first choice.
