Carpets are a very common decoration in modern life, but there are so many types of carpets that people often don’t know how to choose. What are the types of carpets? What are the characteristics of different types of carpets? Today, the editor will answer them one by one for you.

1. What are the types of carpets

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, such as 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.

2. What are the characteristics of different types of carpets

1. Pure wool carpets

Pure wool carpets are generally made of sheep wool and have a soft feel and strong pull. It is large, has good elasticity, beautiful patterns, bright colors, thick texture, comfortable foot feel, and has the characteristics of good antistatic performance, not easy to age, and does not fade. However, pure wool carpets have poor resistance to bacteria, insects, and moisture, and are expensive. They are mostly used in living rooms, bedrooms, etc. of high-end villas.

2. Blended carpets

Blended carpets are carpets made by adding a certain proportion of chemical fibers to pure wool fibers. Because blended carpets are mixed with synthetic fibers, they are cheaper and have improved performance. This kind of carpet is not much different from pure wool carpets in terms of pattern, color, texture and feel, but it overcomes the shortcomings of pure wool carpets that are not resistant to insects, easy to corrode, and easy to mildew. At the same time, it improves the wear resistance of the carpet and reduces the cost of the carpet. Carpets range in price and use.

3. Plastic carpet

Plastic carpet is made of polyvinyl chloride resin, plasticizer and other auxiliary materials, which are uniformly mixed and molded. Although the texture is thin, hard to the touch, greatly affected by temperature, and prone to aging, this material is brightly colored, has improved moisture resistance, corrosion resistance, insect resistance and scrubbing properties, and is particularly flame retardant. and the advantage of low price. Because plastic carpets are water-resistant, they can also be used in bathrooms to prevent slippage.

4. Chemical fiber carpet

Chemical fiber carpet is made of chemical fibers such as cotton, polypropylene, acrylic, and polyester as raw materials, and is processed into a fiber surface layer by tufting or weaving. It is then sewn with a linen base to form a carpet, also known as a synthetic fiber carpet. It has good wear resistance, elasticity, flame retardant, anti-fouling, anti-insect, and low price, so it is suitable for floor decoration of general buildings.

It can be seen that there are many types of carpets with different characteristics. For example, blended carpets are made by adding a certain proportion of chemical fibers to pure wool fibers. Because blended carpets are mixed with synthetic fibers, they are cheaper and have improved performance.
