These days you can find carpets used in almost everywhere, whether it is a house or an office. Different kinds of carpets can be used in several areas in the house for different looks and feelings. They are very popular in most European houses, but are not as widely used in Asian homes.
Carpets can be made from various materials, such as wool, silk, cotton, or synthetic fibre. Wool carpets are warm to the touch so they are not suitable for the places that have long summer and short winter season. Although expensive, they usually are highly durable while synthetic carpets has the least longevity.
Silk carpets have several quality grades depending on the purity of materials used and the number of knots per square inch. The higher number of knots means higher quality for the carpet, and higher price as well. Cashmere silk carpets from Kashmir are the most expensive and have up to 500 knots per square inch.
Synthetic carpets are made from synthetic fibre but possess enough quality and are considerably durable. Even though they are not made from natural materials, they are soft to touch, and also resistant to strains and other hazards. Normally they will cost you less than other types of carpets, and the least expensive synthetic fibre is Polypropylene.
It is also understandable if you decide not to use carpets, whether it is because you would like to show your stylish floors or just to save money. However, please be aware that you will lose the soft covering on your floor and your children might get hurt more easily when falling on your bare floor.
