Carpet

For a long time carpeting has been popular in the native market as one of the best types of floor coverings for living rooms, bedrooms and nurseries. From the operational standpoint it is really one of the most comfortable materials. It is much more pleasant to walk on the soft pile than on cold tile or booming laminate. It is safe to leave even small children to play in a room trimmed with carpet. Moreover, carpet is rather cheap and easy to install.

Though the choice of various types of carpets is very wide, one should keep in mind that its price depends on technology of its manufacturing, fiber material and basis. In particular, caperts can be needlestitched, needled and woven; jute and latex based; polypropylene and polyamide fiber. For installing carpet covering in a standard flat, one needs a special adhesive, and the whole process of the installatin takes some hours. Carpet covering is often not attached to the floor at all.

Those who choose carpet covering should know that along with a number of advantages, this type of flooring also has some disadvantages. Firstly, it is not resistant to moisture and dirt. Though modern cleaning substances remove practically all stains, from the standpoint of resistance to dirt, carpet is a very vulnerable material. Secondly, carpet is soft, and it gets easily deformed by heavy furniture. And the last, comparing to other types of coverings, carpeting care is a much more labour-intensive process.
