What are the carpet widths?
Carpet is one of the most popular floor coverings. It is easy to install, warm and adds coziness to any room. It also has a low cost, so it is widely available. It is made from natural or synthetic materials. Natural ones include: wool, linen and cotton.
The wool product is very soft and elastic. However, it is quite expensive and does not have high wear resistance. Linen material is resistant to mechanical stress, hypoallergenic and easy to clean. Cotton is the most inexpensive option. Moisture resistant, however, deteriorates faster than wool. The synthetic version is more resistant to mechanical stress, so they are most often placed in rooms where frequent cleaning is required.
The coating can have different pile lengths, which makes it universal for use in any room. In addition to the material of manufacture and the length of the pile, the product also differs in its possible width.
What is the width
Width is one of the most important characteristics of a finishing material. Since usually the coating covers the entire floor of the room, when purchasing you should pay attention to the size of the roll. This is necessary in order to:
- If the product is wider than necessary, there will be a lot of scraps left after installation;
- In a room with an area larger than the dimensions of the material, when laying, all resulting joints will have to be secured together with a metal profile, which will spoil the entire appearance;
- If the size is incorrectly chosen, the installation process becomes significantly more complicated, and the time spent on it increases;
REFERENCE! Carpet has different sizes available. The available width is the total width of the flooring roll. Since the material is used in rooms of various sizes, several options are available, from 0.7 to 6 meters.
The most common value is 4 meters. Coverings with a width of 0.7 to 1.5 meters are very often used in the form of carpets. For larger rooms, you should choose a finishing material from 5 to 6 m. If necessary, it can be trimmed.
Before purchasing, you should carefully measure the size of the room to choose the most optimal carpet option!
