Carpet with looped pile
Can be single-level and multi-level.
One-level brands of carpet
This flooring is characterized by continuous hinges having an equal length. The carpet can have both a compact structure and a looser one. The latter allows you to increase the number of visual-tactile opportunities.
“One-levelness” gives the coverage of nobility. Such a carpet is durable, high-quality, durable. True, only the product can boast of the above characteristics, in the manufacture of which the height and density of the pile were “well-maintained”. A carpet of adequate density can be used in rooms where the operating load is quite high..
Features of multi-level options
It is soft, resilient, aesthetically attractive. Its loops of various heights – this creates the “illusion” of a three-dimensional picture. Multilevel carpet is mainly used in hotel rooms, residential premises.
It blends perfectly with any interior, thanks to the abundance of ornaments and a wide range of colors. Everything is attractive in this coating – both an unusual structure, and “appearance”, and a feeling of comfort that emanates from it..
Scroll is one of the varieties of multi-level looped carpet. Its characteristic feature is that the tops of the pile are subjected to a “bonus” haircut and combing. Thanks to the manipulations, a rather original effect is achieved..
Split pile carpet
It is subdivided in turn into several subspecies:
- short pile coating (up to 3 mm);
- with medium (up to 5 mm);
- long pile carpet (more than 5 mm).
Especially popular is the so-called “plush” type of coating. Depending on the yarn used, there are classic, semi-soft, soft velor.
The material has a low split pile of equal length. Fluffy hinges create a uniform smooth surface resembling flowing velvet. To improve performance, a printed drawing is applied to the carpet – a kind of “masking” of the shortcomings that somehow arise during operation.
With split intersecting loop
The product is very peculiar. This is due to the special weaving created by the machine (the intersecting movement of the grids with needles, a given number of stitches per centimeter of coating). This technology makes it possible to produce unique models. The production of such a carpet was not so long ago carried out in manual mode or on far from progressive looms. And these are incredible time and labor costs..
Coating Frize It is created from high twisted threads (high, heat-treated). It is characterized by durability and wear resistance. Even after years, you will not be able to find flaws in it – neither deformations, nor dents. The strong twist of the frieze carpets is able to hide the resulting pollution. Nevertheless, they are cleaned well, they do not require special care from the owner. The combination of low cost and high practicality makes them the number one choice for many. The frieze carpet is universal – it will equally successfully emphasize the interior of not only the living room, but also the children’s, corridor.
Carpet “Saxony” soft, high pile. Thermofixed yarn is the “highlight of the program” in its production. The villi, like soldiers, are in a strictly upright position. Saxony has the effect of a woolen carpet. It has a lot of advantages: it is elegant, beautiful, comfortable.
Euro Saxony – clear sales leader. The pile pile is thin and tightly twisted. Its height is from 7 mm.
Shag is a subspecies of Saxony, has a rough and high pile. Ideal for lovers of feet drowning in cover. Pile low stability – accordingly, not recommended for places with high dynamics of movements.
Such a carpet requires a careful attitude, it is difficult to clean.
Combined types of carpet
Are made by the most modern technologies. They harmoniously combine simplicity and restraint with a bright personality.
Layered with loop-split pile
This carpet is distinguished by a special unique style. Sections of uncut loops give aesthetics to it. The structure also includes loops cut on a special machine. This technology is one of the most fashionable and progressive..
Single-level with a loop-split pile
Here at the same time (and very successfully) the sheared and looped pile of the same length are combined. For its production, hooks with programmed parameters are used. They pull the loop, not subject to cutting, to the level of the cut pile. Thanks to various technological combinations, the range of this coating is incredibly wide.
Extra quilting carpet
Covering with additional quilting is a definite success. It is made on machines, the hallmark of which is individual needle control – ICN technology. Program control allows you to produce goods with incredible color effects and a unique design..
Choosing a carpet for an apartment, country house or office, of course, you need to follow your taste, while not forgetting the combination of cover with the overall interior design. Also consider the operating load in the room..
Thanks to the wide range of carpets on the market, consumers can safely experiment with models. After all, as you know, a material that fits perfectly into one room can be a blatantly impractical choice for another.
