subject: Buy carpets from synthetic materials [print this page] If you buy carpets you should know that synthetic materials are used used for the manufacture of machine-made carpets only. Due to their low cost synthetic materials literally conquered the world and people buy carpets from synthetic materials. Mass production of carpets became possible exactly after their getting. And not just of simple carpets but also of wall-to-wall carpets. A synthetic carpet is a cheap alternative to carpets made from natural materials so people buy carpets more. Viscose is obtained by pulling threads from cellulose. Sometimes carpets from viscose are called "Christmas tree" because cellulose is got from Softwood trees, which is treated further chemically. People buy carpets because carpets made of viscose are very similar to carpets made from natural silk. Acrylic - is a high quality polyester thread, similar to wool by external signs and to the touch. Nowadays it is used no longer alone, but as a supplement to other fibers (often it is added to wool to give it elasticity and more vivid and persistent colors). It does not cause allergies, as opposed to cheaper synthetic, almost cannot be melted. Polypropylene is very durable, water resistance, non-toxic and does not provoke allergies. So people buy carpets from polypropylene. Often two or more materials are used simultaneously. It can be a mixture of wool and silk fibers, which are interwoven to wool or cotton basis. Or a mixture of wool and synthetic materials: for example, 80 percent wool and 20 percent synthetic is a good proportion for not only beautiful, durable and resistant to heavy loads, but at the same time, relatively inexpensive carpet. So you can buy carpets from any material you like.
