An important factor influencing the quality of the carpet is its density and the weave of the pile. If the carpet is dense, it will be more pleasant to the touch.

When choosing a carpet, you should pay special attention to the color. It must be resistant to the influence of external factors and, in the future, to dry cleaning. The edges of the carpet should be smooth and neatly finished.

What is a carpet for?
Everyone knows that in many European interiors the carpet is not used at all. But without it it is very difficult to imagine any house in Ukraine. Carpets have several advantages for using it in your home:
1. Makes cleaning easier. Dust is not very visible on the carpet, it lingers on the pile and in the future it will not be difficult to remove it with a vacuum cleaner.
2. Isolation from noise. This is a great advantage for people who live in apartment buildings where any noise is perfectly audible.
3. Thermal insulation. In most Russian regions, you simply cannot do without a carpet, especially in winter. In such houses, it will not only complement the interior decor, but also save your floor from the cold. This is especially important for families with children.
4. Regulates air humidity . Products made from natural bristles absorb excess moisture from the air, thereby creating a normal microclimate.
5. Positive health effects. The natural hard pile perfectly massages the foot, the tone of the whole organism increases, and the pressure normalizes.
The negative factor is that natural carpet materials can cause allergies in people. Manufacturers have taken care of the health of such people and in the production of many carpets, a special treatment of the pile with anti-allergenic substances is used.
