What are the types of carpets?

Carpet is a floor covering made of natural fiber or chemical synthetic fiber raw materials such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, grass, etc., which is knitted, woven or woven by hand or mechanical process. It is one of the arts and crafts categories with a long history and tradition in the world. So what types of carpets are there?

1. According to the carpet material, there are pure wool carpets, blended carpets, chemical fiber carpets, plastic carpets, etc.

Pure wool carpets: China's pure wool carpets are made of native sheep wool. They have long fibers, strong tensile strength, good elasticity, luster, and slightly thicker and stronger fibers. They are the best in woven carpets in the world. Best quality ingredients. At present, some manufacturers blend China's native sheep wool with imported (such as New Zealand and other countries) wool fibers to take advantage of the characteristics of imported wool's fine fiber and bright luster, and have achieved good results.

Chemical fiber carpet: Also known as synthetic carpet, it can be divided into four types: nylon, polypropylene, polyester and acrylic. Our most common and commonly used carpet is nylon carpet. Its biggest feature is its strong wear resistance. At the same time, it overcomes the shortcomings of pure wool carpets that are easy to corrode and mildew. Its patterns and colors are similar to pure wool. Among them, the price of nylon carpets Higher than other chemical fiber carpets.

Silk carpet: It is a high-end floor and wall decoration that embodies the wisdom of craftsmen. It has excellent practical value and collection value, and is expensive.

Plastic or rubber carpet: also known as hydrophobic carpet, it is also a very common type. It is waterproof, anti-slip and easy to clean. It is usually placed in shopping malls, hotels, residential entrances and bathrooms. .

2. According to the surface fibrous carpet, it can be divided into three types: loop pile carpet, cut pile carpet and loop cut carpet.

The yarns of the loop pile carpet are clustered on the main base fabric, forming an irregular surface effect. Due to the tight clustering rods, the loop pile carpet is suitable for areas with frequent trampling. It is not only wear-resistant And it is easy to maintain. By separating the loops of the loop pile carpet, a cut pile carpet is formed. The appearance of cut pile carpet is very smooth, and the appearance of pile is also greatly improved. At the same time, it also integrates appearance and usability very well, but it is not as good as loop pile carpet in terms of wear resistance. Loop-cut carpets, as their name suggests, are a combination of cut pile and loop pile.

3. According to the weaving process, it can be divided into handmade carpets and machine-woven carpets

Handmade carpets are made of fine wool and are woven manually. The weaving work must be done on each warp of the carpet. Tie a knot twice around, resulting in a rug that is both delicate and strong. There are also two types of woven carpets: woven carpets and tufted carpets, each with its own characteristics. Woven carpets apply handmade carpet technology to mechanized production, making the carpets stronger in structure and rich in color and pattern; tufted carpets are made by tufting the base fabric.
