With the onset of winter many of us have a problem with a temperature of flooring, linoleum can not comfortably move around the room without slippers. Of course, it can be heated floor or replace the cover on warmer, for example, to lay a natural carpet, but it's not all afford it and besides, you can hardly find a carpet to a tee matches the size of your room. An alternative to these methods can be expensive carpeting. Structure of modern carpets are almost always the same. If you look at them in context, we can distinguish the following components: the pile, the primary liner (base) and the secondary lining consisting of a pinning layer and the proper pads, usually made of latex. An important characteristic of the carpet yarn is used for its manufacture. Modern carpeting is made from natural and synthetic fibers. Among the products made from natural materials are the most common pure wool or mixed (containing between 10 and 30% wool). The advantages of carpet wool are excellent elasticity, low moisture permeability and flammability, ease of cleaning. Disadvantages - low wear and high cost. "Lower cost-per-meter natural carpet - 15-20 dollars. To distinguish natural from synthetic carpeting is very simple, a string of wool carpet glow and artificial melts. The main types of synthetic fibers used in the manufacture of floor coverings, are polyamides (nylon), polypropylene (olefin), polyester and polyacryl. Coating of nylon in their qualities better than the other synthetic materials: they are soft, well keep the pile and they are almost not visible dents from furniture, they are easy to clean and does not fade. Their service life - 10-15 years. Slightly inferior to acrylic nylon and polyester. Last cheaper than nylon, less durable (will last 5-8 years), hard to the touch, has a characteristic synthetic sheen. Olefin, and though they filled 90% of kovrolinovogo "the Russian market, too, can last five to eight years, but we believe that this material is past its quality does not meet modern requirements. Its main advantage - low price. The replacement of the olefin are coming: terklon and supra. This polypropylene fibers that have passed thermal and chemical treatment to increase wear. In appearance this carpet can not be distinguished from wool coating and feel it is very soft. For clarity, we present a table. Material Durability Fire Resistant to pollution price, $ Wool good Good Fair 15-130 Very Good Good Nylon Olefin 8-160 and its variants is bad bad bad 2-28 by a method for producing carpet is divided into three main types: woven, tufted (stitched pile yarns woven backing) and Needle (pile yarns are driven needles into the primary basis). Woven carpet the most durable and expensive, because it is done as usual carpets. This so-called carpet "on the basis of natural jute. Looks like a mesh base. When tufting method thread a needle injected in the base and fix adhesive composition. The popularity of this technology is due to a variety of designs of carpet: loop (top eyelets), pile (upper fibers) and their variants. Loop carpets have a very rigid foundation, but due to the fact that the top of his loops, the surface they too tight, which ensures a high wear resistance. For the production of this type of carpet used previously dyed thread, it allows you to create smooth, quiet colors of carpeting as possible suitable for creating interior corridors, offices and classrooms. In addition to single-level loop coverings, there are multi-level, loops are made of varying heights, thereby creating the volumetric image of the surface. Carpet looks so impressive, but harder to clean. Tufted carpet is divided into korotkovorsovye (2-3 mm long nap), srednevorsovye (3-5 mm), vysokovorsovye (greater than 5 mm). A thick carpet with high pile is perfect for bedrooms, smooth - for study, living room or hall. Needle punched carpet, has a higher wear resistance than the tufted or woven. Threads are laid on a primary basis, and then pierce it with needles, then joins an additional base (usually rubber). This coverage, lint-free and apparently felt like. This carpet is used in areas with very heavy traffic in the West almost all offices and public buildings are laid for them. Its main advantages - low cost and excellent acoustic properties, so it is used in theaters and cinemas. A lot depends on the method of dyeing and yarn. We present these methods as reducing the price and durability of color. The best way when the carpet woven from threads made of colored synthetic mass. The second way - this painting is finished yarn. The third way is when the printed image is applied to the stencil on a ready-made carpet fabric, this method of color less solid. Cloth quickly fade or erased. To define it very easily - the villi in this technology is not painted to the ground. Keep in mind: the higher the density of the carpet, the better! The stronger the villi adjacent to each other, the harder they hurting. It is clear that such carpeting less wiped and zalosnyaetsya. But he is more expensive. Substrate is placed under the carpet for better sound insulation and that it was warmer, which is especially necessary if the carpet stela in the concrete floor. When laying carpet on the parquet, carpet without backing for its hard base may scratch the parquet lacquer. So save on the substrate is not necessary. Among the countries leading carpet manufacturers took the products of German, Belgian, Dutch and American firms. Price is primarily dependent on the thickness of the coating and the material used. Any carpeting is better to lay on a completely flat floor - lined with sheets of hardboard or plywood. Glue over the entire surface is not necessary. But you can carefully glue (ordinary PVA glue or adhesive for the Polish environmental coatings "Ekolep Lakme") region under the baseboards and door area. There are three common ways of laying carpet: No sticking to the floor Such a method is good in small spaces by using a single sheet cover. Coverage unfold so that it protrudes plinth at 5-10 cm and rolled with rollers, since the mid in all directions (the walls). After this cut with a knife angle coverage in the form of a letter V, and then cut along the baseboards. In the passage reinforce the coating of metal lath. Bonding with no connections expand and cut off the cover, as in the previous case. Bend in the middle and with a spatula to apply the adhesive to the open part of the floor. A few minutes later descended to the floor bent part of the coating. Smooth out the roller in the direction from the middle to the side walls. Doing the same with the other half of the sheet. Simultaneous connections they spread and cut carpet, as in previous cases, but the cover sheets are placed overlapping on the 3-5cm. Deploying the first sheet 2 / 3 of the width and the adhesive is applied to the open side. After that lower the surface and bonded, as in previous cases. Doing the same with the second sheet. Lift the edge and cause the glue on the floor. Next, using a ruler cut while both edges of the material. Omit both sides and smooth both sides. There is another way of laying carpet - stretching, but it can carry out only. When stretching, the property of elasticity, inherent in all textile coverings. Carpet is laid on the fortified walls along narrow rails with two rows of nails driven into a corner and pulled with special tools. Laid under the cover of felt, which adds to the effect of the softness of carpet. Note that, pasting coating with the base of natural jute, must be very careful with the dosage of glue: going through a natural basis, the excess glue forever can spoil pile. With regard to loop carpeting used in the field "all terrain", it is best to stick to the whole area. In the kitchen, it can simply be laid on a flat floor like an ordinary carpet. To the floor was warmer bed under a sheet of carpet foam polyurethane or felt. But a layer of extra strips should not exceed 0,5 mm. With regard to the care of carpet, it all depends on the basis of the coating. Carpet on jute or glue the net can only dry cleaner. Coating on the foam rubber, latex-based or synthetic jute can be cleaned with detergent cleaner, water should be collected at the same time very carefully. Basis of water is not afraid, but a long bristle poorly ventilated and damp feeling remains. But it's better if you still do without a "green" cleaning.
