Guide To Carpets

Knowing what to look for can make selecting carpet easier and guarantee you get the most out of your carpet and your budget. Take some time to think about what’s important to you before you look for carpets. Will your new carpet fit your taste? Consider selecting a carpet that is very tough such as Heriz to cover the flooring of active spaces such as family rooms, rec rooms and halls.

Heriz carpets are made in the Heriz region about 40 miles west of Tabriz in northwest Iran. Heriz wool is outstanding and the carpet construction is sound, making for heavy-duty carpeting. The wool carpets have a tendency to be coarse and thick with a heavy handle. Heriz silk carpets, on the other hand, are fine with a very soft handle.

Another carpet producing city in Iran is Kashan. Their carpets are the most traditional of all Persian rugs. Kashan carpeting is home produced, and not workshop carpeting. The region also produces silk carpets.

Enchanted Carpets Of Turkey

A lot of tourists to Turkey declare the acquisition of a Turkish carpet to be number one on their shopping list, and no trip to Turkey would be complete without a serious carpet encounter. You will notice carpets of every size, design and color scheme available in carpet booths, street-side carpet shops and stylish carpet stores all through the country, but you must have a little self-control and do your research before buying.

 The most important factors in determining the strength of carpet are: 

• Fiber type. The basis of a carpet’s strength is its fiber.

• Density. This refers to the thickness of the carpet’s yarn and how closely the tufts are spaced together.

• Twist. This refers to how tightly the pair of yarns in each tuft is twisted.
