How to choose a carpet?

1. Carpet pile density

The pile of carpet is tight and breathable, which can absorb and even isolate sound waves to achieve good sound insulation effect. How to check the carpet pile density? The most direct way is to touch the carpet with your hands and feel the carpet surface. If the pile quality of the product is high and the density of the carpet surface is full, such a carpet is not only environmentally friendly, but also has the advantages of being trampled, wear-resistant, comfortable and durable due to its excellent structure. Consumers are reminded here not to choose plush carpets. On the surface, they look velvety and nice, but the density of the piles is sparse and the piles are prone to lodging and deformation. Such carpets are not resistant to trampling and can easily lose their unique texture. Performance, not durability.

2. Look at the appearance quality

Looking at the appearance of the carpet only refers to checking the carpet surface. First of all, the carpet surface should be smooth and have no color difference. Then further check whether there is glue leakage (caused by too much glue or the viscosity of the glue used is too small), delining and other phenomena.

3. Color fastness

If the carpet you choose has rich colors and patterns, when selecting, you can rub the carpet surface repeatedly with your hands or a test cloth several times to see if Check whether there is any color stuck to your hands or test cloth. If there is color stuck to it, it means that the color fastness of the product is not good, which will cause the carpet to be prone to discoloration and fading during installation and use, which will affect the aesthetic effect of the carpet during installation and use.

4. Carpet backing peeling strength

The so-called backing peeling strength, in layman’s terms, depends on whether it is easy to fall off. Usually the back of the tufted carpet is bonded with a layer of mesh backing fabric using latex, and the standard stipulates that the backing peeling strength index is ≥ 25N. When consumers choose this type of carpet, they can gently tear the base fabric with their hands to see the degree of adhesion. If the adhesion is not high, the base fabric and the carpet body will easily separate, and such carpets will not be durable.
