Hand-woven rugs have been produced and used in Iranian homes for centuries. Review, selection and tips for buying machine-woven carpets Carpets add a pleasant spirit and warmth to the space and have the unique beauty and originality of any home. However, increasing demand, technological advances in industrial sectors and the increase in the price of hand-woven carpets in recent years have led to an increase in the production and availability of machine-woven carpets. These affordable alternatives are produced and woven by industrial machines. In the past, when carpets were only woven by hand, plants were used for dyeing them, which meant that the number of colors used to weave handmade carpets was less than machine-woven carpets. For this reason, carpet dyeing was always limited to a few colors. But today, thanks to industrial machinery, various colors such as pink, green, blue, beige, black, white, etc. can be used to weave machine-made carpets, and the entire continuation of this path depends on the chosen path and the buyer's interest. Machine-made carpet fibers Various machines are used in their production. These carpets can be made from: - Acrylic fibers - BCF - Other synthetic fibers such as polyester/nylon/nylon - Rayon They are highly sought after in global markets due to their lint-free nature, easy maintenance, and exceptional durability. Carpet production time Weaving machines can produce machine-made carpets with high precision and speed without any effort. Advanced weaving machines can produce all their products in a short time with the required length and width. However, for the production of hand-woven carpets, the production process can take from several months to several years. Machine-made carpets can be produced at a high speed and efficiency. This speed in the production of products is known as a deep gap between tradition and innovation in the weaving industry. Advantages of machine-made carpets - Machine-made carpets are woven with advanced machines, and as a result, there are minimal mistakes in their design and color. - Machine-made carpets are very cheap compared to hand-woven carpets. - If you can make several identical carpet designs for different places in the house, machine-made carpets will allow you to do this. However, hand-woven carpets are usually unique in their own way. - Machine-made carpets are safer and more durable for high-traffic areas of the house. - Machine-made carpets do not require special care and are completely resistant and stable against vacuuming and washing. - Machine-made carpets can be purchased in unique and diverse designs and colors. Machine-made carpet size and design First, check the design and size of the carpet. Pay attention to the symmetry of the colors in the woven patterns and make sure that the shapes and patterns appear completely without any sudden cuts or missing elements. In addition, viewing the carpet in natural light from different angles will help you evaluate the color consistency and overall beauty. Machine-made carpet quality View carpets in natural light. Paying attention to the color and pattern of the machine-made carpet from different angles and ensuring the consistency of its colors are among the important points to pay attention to when buying. The pile of the carpet should be bright and flexible. Machine-made carpets with soft pile are less durable and attract more dust. Part of the carpet may be damaged and damaged due to displacement or folding. By carefully examining the back of the carpet, you can see the effects of the lag. Machine-made carpet density One of the important criteria for measuring the quality of machine-made carpets is their density, which is also called "straw". These rugs are categorized by the number of tufts, ranging from 350 to 1200. For example, higher density and tuft count are preferred for bedrooms and living rooms. Don’t forget to check the back of the rug for density, weft insertion, and uniformity of design. To check the texture of a machine-made rug, you should look at the back because the quality of the weave is more evident on the back of the rug. By looking at the back, you will notice features such as density, number of knots, and uniformity of design. Machine-made Rug Roots Be sure to check the roots of the rug for rot. The roots of a rotten rug are easily separated. However, unlike a hand-woven rug, in a machine-made rug, the roots are separate pieces of the main rug and are later joined together; poor quality of the roots of the rug can also indicate the quality of the rug itself.
