A brief introduction to silk and acrylic carpets

Before we talk about choosing silk and acrylic carpets, it is necessary to have an overview of the features as well as the strengths and weaknesses of both types of carpets so that we can finally make the right choice.

Silk carpet

A variety of fibers are used to produce handmade carpets, and silk carpets have been very popular with domestic and foreign consumers. Silk fibers are the highest quality fibers ever used in carpet production. These fibers increase the value of the carpet produced, and the silk used in the weaving of the carpet also adds beauty and unparalleled quality to the final product. One of the most important features of silk carpets is the shine of the carpet, which provides visual pleasure to the viewer, and this has led to silk carpets being used more often as tableaux or wall hangings. Other features of this carpet include its high strength, elegance, and unparalleled softness.

There are three types of silk carpets on the market:

Silk floor

All silk

Silk flower

When sunlight shines on a silk carpet, this light is refracted and makes the carpet shine, which makes the interior of your home more attractive. Note that silk carpets are also sold in the market as tableaux and rugs.

Handmade silk carpets are much more expensive than machine-made carpets, and the reason for this is the use of natural fibers for weaving the carpet.
