PROFILE PUBLIC ENTITIES HEALTH COMPANIES AND HOTELS SPORTS PRIVATE GREEN BUILDING CONTACTS Carpet Carpet is a textile normally used for coverings and flooring. It is produced in rolls or squares and is easy to lay. The carpet makes the environment comfortable and restful for the joints. Sound-absorbing, it softens the blows and almost 90% the noise of footsteps, improving the acoustics of the rooms. It prevents falls, having great anti-skid ability. Fire resistant, passing the fire retardant power tests required by the regulations. In addition, the carpet provides thermal insulation thus contributing to energy savings. Carpet is a textile flooring widely used in the nautical sector (both on passenger and cruise transport ships and on private boats), in the preparation of exhibition spaces such as fairs and exhibitions, in the furnishing of hotels and accommodation facilities of various kinds. Lately, it is increasingly easier to see carpet in outdoor environments such as terraces, solariums and poolside, where it is used as a more practical and economical substitute for lawn. The carpet is made up of the outermost layer (called "fleece") anchored to a support that serves to make the sheet resistant and more or less deformable. Both the fleece material and the backing material may vary depending on the type of carpet. The support is made of jute, cotton or synthetic fibers; in some cases it can also be coated with a rubbery layer that makes it even better for the laying ground and makes it more elastic and soundproofing. The carpets are divided into velor, bouclé and needlepunched carpets. Velor are softer, with a resistant background but with a sweatshirt that is easy to wear, which is why - despite the comfort and aesthetic qualities - they must be chosen only for environments where you rarely pass (for example in bedrooms). There are two main types: short-haired and long-haired. Bouclé carpets are not marked by fingerprints because they have straight and very rigid tufts. These carpets are resistant and suitable for installation in transit areas, such as corridors and hotel rooms. For private environments, however, they are less beautiful and warm, as well as more difficult to clean and treat. Finally, needle-punched carpets are compact and very wear-resistant fabric floors. Compared to proper carpets, they have no bottom and are placed directly on the laying surface. Their qualities make them suitable for installation in outdoor and transit areas, including public spaces and trade fairs.
