Close to the nature
There are many criteria for choosing carpet. Material, of which the carpet is made, is the defining criteria. According to it all carpet products are classified as natural, partially synthetic and completely synthetic carpets.
Wool has been always considered as leader among natural materials for carpets manufacturing. Sheep (most widespread), goat, camel, and also a wool of other animals, for example llamas, is used for carpets manufacture. Woolen carpets have a lot of advantages. They absorb moisture in crude premises and keep heat in badly heated rooms, they do not accumulate static electricity, and such carpets are steady against deterioration.
But natural carpet are very expensive, therefore, frequently manufacturers reduce the price of production, offering half-woolen products, adding synthetics.
Silk carpets are also classified as natural. Silk fibers are considered as the strongest; however silk carpets will hardly warm you in cold weather.
Less often for manufacturing of mats rice, flax, and hemp are used. Mats from sea seaweed are also on sale. They have natural green or brown color and smell as sea salt (unlike fakes). If you have decided to choose such carpet, keep in mind that the covering on latex basis will serve longer.
Synthetic advantages
Carpets from natural materials are very expensive. Floor coverings from synthetic materials are economic and, consequently, are more accessible. And for suffering from allergy people- it is a unique possibility to create of “fluffy” coziness. Woolen carpets can provoke sudden allergy.
The basic synthetic fibers, applied at manufacturing of carpets, are polyester, polypropylene, polyacryle, polyamide (nylon). Doctors recommend suffering from allergy people to buy carpets, made of nylon, as it is the most neutral kind of a fiber, without extraneous smell and the price will not be so high.
