TIPS & IDEAS
Carpet
Q. Construction and fiber. The look and performance of a carpet is determined by its construction, which may be loop, cut or combination of cut and loop, In heavy traffic areas, loop piles of low, dense construction tend to retain their appearance and resiliency?
A. The type of fiber used also affects the performance of the carpet. Nylon is most widely used in commercial applications as it provides excellent wear ability, abrasion resistance and resilience. Wool is usually used in rugs and other residential applications. Wool is expensive yet popular for its luxury because it is soft, has high bulk and is available in many colors and patterns.
