What Material To Choose For My Carpet?

The fibers from which the surface of a carpet is made obviously fulfill the most important role since it is this surface that will be stepped on and the one that will be most exposed to the environment and dirt.

These fibers are classified into two main categories which are natural fibers and synthetic fibers. But on the other hand, we must highlight the role currently played by woven vinyl rugs and carpets, which, due to their technical and aesthetic characteristics, occupy a very important part of the residential and professional or contract markets.

Features Of Natural Fiber Rugs:

Natural fibers are divided into plant fibers and animal fibers.

Of the vegetable fibers, the most common for making carpets and rugs are Sisal and algae, which in addition to being very attractive due to their artisanal aesthetics, are solid and resistant fibers, which makes them an ideal option for busy areas.

Features of sisal rugs and carpets:

Sisal and seaweed are among the most resistant fibers of natural fibers, which is already a factor to consider when making a decision. But it is not the only characteristic that seduces us with these fibers, but rather peculiarities such as their resistance to stains, their suitability as carpets for allergy sufferers that trap dust and prevent it from circulating in the air, facilitating cleaning with the passage of a vacuum cleaner. Or a brush and the fact that they are affordable for all budgets, have probably made the decision already made.

The wool fibers are naturally curled, which is why they have great elasticity, which means that they recover their original shape after being crushed by a piece of furniture or any other element, and they also retain their color better because they absorb the dyed in greater depth, These two technical aspects mean greater longevity of your carpet or carpet.

The structure of the wool fibers prevents dirt from penetrating deep into your carpets or rugs, making it easy to clean with a vacuum cleaner or simple brushing. There are studies that show that spaces with these types of rugs reduce airborne dust particles by 80%.

Characteristics of Synthetic Fiber Carpets
