The most suitable comb and density of machine-woven carpet
One of the most frequently asked questions by buyers when choosing and buying carpets is "What is the best comb for carpets?" However, the answer to this question can vary based on the customer's needs and the space for which you have decided to buy a carpet as a floor covering. For this reason, this question cannot be answered absolutely.
It should be noted that currently, 700 comb, 1200 with classic patterns, and 1500 comb carpets are the most sold in the machine-woven carpet market, and buyers purchase the desired carpet based on their needs.
Note that the more the comb is increased, the greater the density of the carpet. This increase in comb will also have a direct impact on the final price of the product.
However, an important factor that you should pay attention to when increasing the comb is the durability and elegance of the product, as well as the unique similarity it acquires to a hand-woven carpet. It is recommended that if the price of the product you are purchasing is of great importance to you, do not choose the carpet you need from the 1500 comb products.
700 comb carpet with a density of 2550 knots
The first machine-made carpets were produced and made available to buyers in Kashan in the 1950s. These products were 350 comb carpets that were produced with acrylic and cotton fibers and were very similar to hand-woven carpets. However, over time, this industry made significant progress, and after a short time, thanks to the round-the-clock efforts of craftsmen and weaving machines, 700 comb carpets were introduced to the market and were welcomed.
But the main reason why 700 comb carpets were more popular than their predecessors was the unique elegance, softness, and proper pile of the carpet, which led to the success of this product. It should be noted that the thickness of 700 comb carpets is much greater than that of 1200 and 1500 comb carpets.
700 comb carpets are the best choice for people who live in cold cities because of their high pile compared to hand-woven carpets. This carpet is also a good choice for people who have young children or the elderly at home.
Features of 700 comb carpet
• 700 comb
• Density of 2550 knots
• Use of Turkish acrylic fibers
• Texture in the form of a simple flower
• Thickness of 10 mm ± 1
• Suitable resistance to traffic
• Suitable resistance to abrasion
1200 comb carpet
However, 1200 comb carpets with a density of 3600 knots are a hand-woven product that was introduced to the market after 700 and 1000 comb carpets. The delicacy of this carpet is greater than 700 comb carpets, but the pile of this product is less than 700 comb carpets.
Therefore, if you are interested in thick carpets, this carpet is not recommended for you. This carpet is used for home living room flooring. 1200-needle carpets are produced with different designs such as classic, modern, silk flower and antique.
The difference between these carpets is in the fibers used in their weaving, for example, acrylic fibers are used to weave classic carpets, while a combination of acrylic and viscose fibers is used to weave modern and antique carpets, but a larger amount of viscose fibers is used. For this reason, these carpets are called silk carpets.
Another style of 1200-needle carpets is silk flower carpets, which are woven from viscose and acrylic fibers, but the difference between them and modern carpets is the amount of silk used. 6 acrylic threads and 3 silk threads are used to weave silk flower carpets.
Features of 1200 comb carpet
• 1200 comb
• Density of 3600 knots
• Use of acrylic and Turkish viscose fibers
• Texture in the form of a raised flower
• Medium thickness
• Thickness of 6 mm ± 1

1500 comb carpet
However, the 1500 comb carpet is the most delicate and beautiful machine-made carpet that is very similar to a hand-woven carpet, which is why it is known as a hand-woven carpet. The density of this carpet is 4500 knots. This carpet is less thick than the 700 comb carpet. If you live in cold cities in Iran and do not use furniture in your home, it is not recommended for you to buy this carpet.
The best machine-made carpet density
The density of the carpet is the number of knots that are woven along the length of the carpet. Note that the more the comb of the carpet increases, the more the density of the carpet increases. It should be noted that the density of the carpet has a direct effect on the elegance and price of the carpet. If you are planning to buy a carpet for your living room or dining room and this part of the house has furniture, it is recommended to choose your carpet design from 1200 and 1500 pile carpets.
If you are planning to buy a carpet for the kitchen or children's playroom, it is recommended to choose your desired design from carpets with a lower pile and density so that the carpet can be replaced after a short period of time.
However, for the bedroom of adults and teenagers, it is recommended to choose your desired carpet from modern and old-fashioned designs because these carpets are very soft due to the use of viscose fibers, which can be effective in the quality of your night's sleep.
Carpet selection guide
Note that before choosing the desired design, it is necessary to measure the dimensions of the space for which you intend to buy the carpet, then determine the required pile and density according to the use of the space.
Carpet suitable for reception and living room
Due to the importance of this space and its use, which is necessary to entertain guests, it is recommended to use exquisite and handmade carpets to complete the decoration and flooring of the home. For this reason, it is necessary to choose the carpet you want from 1200 and 1500 comb carpets.
If you are from a large family or enjoy sitting on the floor, it is recommended to choose the design you want from 700 comb carpets.
Kitchen carpet
The kitchen of every home is a place with a lot of traffic, so it is necessary to choose a durable and high-quality carpet for this part, so that the carpet does not wear out and become flat in the event of frequent traffic. When choosing a kitchen carpet, keep in mind that the price of the product is also one of the selection parameters.
