Carpet is woven fiber flooring that comes in a wide range of shapes, patterns, and colors. Carpet (שטיח עגול) absorbs sound, gives extra warmth, and provides a non-slip surface because of its cushioned surface. Carpet is not only one of the most cost-effective flooring options, but it is also one of the easiest to clean and maintain because of its static, stain, and soil resistance.
So, what exactly is a carpet made of?
Nylon, polyester, olefin, and wool fibers are woven into carpet. Consider a greater twist number for the fibers and a larger density volume for the tufts to ensure a long-lasting and quality carpet.
These fibers each have their own set of advantages.
The type of fiber you choose is determined by your goals for the room.
