Carpets: Crafted for Warmth and Style
Nothing adds warmth and coziness to a space like carpeting. Cormar carpets are not only beautiful but they lend a softness, elegance, and color to any place.
Textures
Although carpet warehouses stock carpets that are basically hand woven or hand knotted, new technology enables them to be machine woven too. The texture of a carpet is determined by the cut, twist, and density of the yarn used in construction. The tighter the twist the more durable the pile, in some cases the twisted yarns are set by heat to make them last longer. When the end loops are cut the pile will feel tighter and rough. There are many options to choose from in terms of carpet textures. The frieze with its tightly twisted yarns, the Berber cut pile, the shag, and the cable.
Materials
Carpet materials can be natural such as wool and silk or synthetic which is nylon, acrylic, and polyester. Wool is the oldest material that has been used and some of the most luxurious carpets at Cormar carpets are made from it. Its beauty is permanent and it is naturally waterproof. Depending on the type of sheep wool, it can be dyed any color. Nylon is the most widely used material in the carpeting world. It feels as soft as wool, is stain resistant and easy to clean. Most carpet warehouses and manufacturers use polypropylene to create residential and commercial carpets using Berber loops. Polyester uses a cut pile finish and has a great feel to it.
Quality
The density of the tufts of yarn will determine how much wear and tear the carpet can face. Density is achieved by how closely woven the strands are to each other, measuring the height of the pile and how much of the backing is visible. Another area to consider is the fade and stain resistant quality of the carpet. Some carpets also provide antistatic controls. Cormar carpets prefer both wool and nylons fibers that can cater to various carpet needs well. Depending on the amount of traffic space endures, different carpet materials can be considered. Deep pile polyester carpets are great for bedrooms while a plush carpet with a firm rebound pad is best suited for living rooms.
New technologies and innovative trendy designs and patterns have transformed the carpet from just a piece of accessory to becoming the focal point in a room. Carpet warehouses and manufacturers now create carpets that are an extension of a person, an organization or even an idea.
