We stay on the carpet
The new models leave nothing to be desired. From cuddly soft to healthy and environmentally friendly, everything is there. Our material and installation tips make your choice easier.
Natural fiber or textile?
Our checklist will help you choose the right flooring.
Advantages of natural fibers: Coconut, wool and palm leaves are the main products used here.
- Non-dyed carpets fit well into a natural ambience.
- Hardwearing, insensitive and easy to clean are almost all natural fibers.
- Moisture-regulating: This property improves the indoor climate.
- Ecological: The production of natural raw materials protects the environment.
Advantages of textile fiber: As a rule, the carpets consist of a synthetic mix.
- Colored models offer a wider choice and liven up the space.
- Robust is especially polyamide. Fiber blends are cheaper for it.
- Soft velor carpets bring comfort to the living room.
- Antistatic fibers do not charge and thus attract less dirt.
Graphic decors
Diamonds, diamonds and triangles are in trend with runners. They bring a modern flair to the living room, the dining area or the hallway. Special retro flair complacent? In the style of the 70s, "Nordic" presents itself in a geometric look. 200 x 140 cm, about 150 €, Maisons du Monde
Florlängen
The longer its fibers, the fluffier the carpet.
Short pile: A carpet whose pile is lower than 1.5 cm has a relatively smooth, easy-care surface. Therefore, it is especially suitable for stairs or heavily used areas.
Shaggy: Carpets are fluffy from a pile height of 1.5 to 5 cm. As runners, they provide warmth and coziness in the living room.
Langflor: Those who like to walk barefoot feel most comfortable with long-pile carpets. The fibers are longer than 5 cm and therefore very soft.
Class climate
The robust cover hair of the cashmere goat absorbs moisture and releases it back to the room air. Carpeting "Interland" thus ensures a healthy indoor climate. Approximately 50 € / sqm, Tretford
Keep your eyes open when buying the carpet
Thomas Fronius, Marketing and Advertising Manager at Kibek, tells us that you have to pay attention to the choice of carpet.
Material: For dining or study rooms, where chairs are often moved, flat fabrics are better than the more cuddly long-pile carpets.
Location: Consider which loads the carpet is exposed to. In running areas such as corridor or rooms with exit to the garden, I advise against bright models. Instead, patterns and fresh colors are needed.
Design: Unusual decors especially fit in larger rooms. Here you can use carpets as design objects. In smaller rooms, on the other hand, you should rather choose plain colors and set the tone with a beautiful color.
