1. What are the materials of the carpet
1. Wool carpet
Advantages: good elasticity, no pollution, deformation, abrasion and good heat insulation
Disadvantages: no corrosion and moth-eaten resistance and high price.
2, nylon carpet
Advantages: good wear resistance, easy cleaning, no corrosion, no moth, no mildew.
Disadvantages: easy to deform, easy to generate static electricity, and will partially dissolve in case of fire.
3. Silk carpet
Advantages: It has the artistic effect of Furama, and is an advanced decorative handicraft and a collection treasure. Smooth texture, suitable for many seasons, even in hot summer, its cool feet can dissipate the heat and make people happy.
Disadvantages: small production quantity and high price.
4. Blended carpet
Advantages: The wear resistance of blended carpet is five times higher than that of pure wool carpet, which overcomes the shortcoming that pure wool carpet is easy to corrode; At the same time, it overcomes the shortcomings of electrostatic dust collection of chemical fiber carpet. It has the advantages of heat preservation, wear resistance, moth resistance, high strength, comfortable teaching and moderate price.
Disadvantages: The biggest disadvantage of blending is that it must be mixed with the corresponding materials to overcome the shortcomings of a certain material. For example, if nylon fiber is not added, the wear resistance of blended carpet will not be so high; It is easy to accumulate dust.
5. Straw carpet
Advantages: it has a natural flavor, feels fresh and cool, and the straw carpet is cheap and good.
Disadvantages: difficult maintenance, easy dust accumulation and short service life.
6. chemical fiber carpet
advantages: it has the characteristics of flame resistance, antifouling, moth-proofing, corrosion resistance and mildew resistance, and has strong wear resistance, light weight, bright colors and simple laying. Economical and practical, cheap and good.
Disadvantages: poor elasticity and antistatic performance, easy dust absorption and accumulation, and poor thermal insulation performance.
7. Plastic carpet
Advantages: Most plastics have strong corrosion resistance, do not react with acid and alkali, and are durable; Low cost; Waterproof; Light weight; Easy to be molded into different shapes; It is a good insulator.
Disadvantages: thin texture, hard handle, greatly influenced by temperature, and easy to age.
2. Carpet purchasing skills
1. Check the carpet quality inspection report
In the manufacturing process of carpet, such as carpet back gluing, the latex and various additives used inevitably leave some harmful substances in the products, such as formaldehyde, styrene, 4- phenylcyclohexene, etc. When laid and used, it will bring some pollution to the indoor space, and when used in children's rooms, it will bring children. Therefore, when purchasing carpets for children's rooms, you need to check the product quality report to see if it meets the national standards.
2. Look carefully at the label of carpet products
Carpet Label is a mandatory standard in light industry. Carpet products sold in the market must be truly marked according to the requirements of Carpet Label: product name, registered trademark of the product, name and content of carpet fiber, pile thickness of the carpet, quality grade of the product, production date of the product, name and address of the manufacturer, information on special performance requirements of the product and so on. By looking at the label, we can have a general understanding of carpet quality.
3. Identification of product material
In order to prevent the carpet material from being faked, especially when choosing pure wool carpet, the carpet material must be identified first. The general method is to take a few wool from the carpet and identify it according to the burning situation and smell after ignition. Pure wool has no flame, smoke, bubbles and odor when burning, and the ash is mostly shiny black solid, which will be broken with a gentle finger pressure.
4. Check the appearance quality of the carpet
When choosing a carpet, consumers should check whether the carpet surface is flat, whether the edge of the carpet is straight, whether there are any defects, oil stains and color differences. In particular, when purchasing tufted carpets, it is necessary to check whether the back of the carpet is off-lined and oozed with glue, so as to avoid bulging and inequality in the laying and use of the carpet, thus losing the comfortable and beautiful effect.
5. Other quality inspections
Check whether the carpet feels comfortable; Check the pile density, you can touch the carpet by hand. The pile quality of its products is high, and the density of the carpet surface is full. This carpet has good elasticity, trampling resistance, wear resistance, comfort and durability. Check the color fastness of the carpet. When choosing a carpet, you can rub it repeatedly on the carpet surface by hand or test cloth for several times to see if there is color on it. If there is color, it means that the color fastness of the product is not good. Check the peeling strength of carpet backing. Tear the base fabric gently by hand to see the degree of adhesion. If the adhesion is not high, the base fabric and the carpet will be easily separated, so the carpet will not be durable.
It can be seen that carpet selection can be made by checking the carpet quality inspection report, carefully reading the carpet product label, identifying the product material, checking the appearance quality of the carpet, etc. If conditions permit, try to choose carpets of well-known brands, so that the quality and after-sales can be more guaranteed.
