What is carpet density or carpet reeds and why should it be considered?

In 90% of your carpet brand advertisements, you will encounter Reeds and congestion. When you go to a carpet store to buy, you still hear these two words from the seller. It often happens that buyers are willing to pay more just because of the higher density of the carpet. Which is more important, the reed or the thickness of the carpet? The problem is. Indeed, a higher price must be paid for high density. Is the high density a reason for the high quality of the carpet? Is high density effective in carpet thickness? What does shoulder mean and why is a high number of shoulders important in a rug? Also, 1500 Reeds carpet and 1200 Reeds carpet are types of carpets that are very effective in buying carpets, and sellers and buyers are looking for carpets with better density, and in this regard, they have questions that need to be answered. In this article on Dariush Carpet, we answer these questions. What does carpet density mean? The carpet is obtained by weaving special fibers in longitudinal and transverse rows. You always have two things in mind when buying a good rug. Carpet dimensions Carpet density The dimensions of the carpet are a matter of course for all of us and need not be explained. But density means the number of fibers that are stacked together in one inch of carpet. Suppose you are going to put three sets of sofas with two TVs, a gas stove, a refrigerator and a washing machine in a house 70 meters away. Your layout will be very close. Now, instead of three sofas in that house, arrange a sofa and a TV, what will be the difference? Of course, in the first case, the furniture will be arranged with a higher density. How is this story on the carpet? Each carpet has two density models: Transverse density (reeds) Longitudinal density (density) What does transverse density (Reeds) mean? We have heard a lot in carpet advertisements that we talk about the number of carpet reeds, but what is a carpet reed? And why is it called that? If you look at the width of the carpet on the back of the rug, you will see the number of knots in the rug that are next to each other. The number of knots per meter of carpet width is called the reed. To know the number of reeds in a rug, simply place a ruler across the width of the rug and count the number of knots per ten centimeters of the rug. Multiply this number of knots by ten to calculate the shoulder in one meter. So when it is said that a carpet is 700 reeds, it means that 700 knots are seen in one meter of carpet width. This 700 knots is 700 threads that pass through a part called the reeds in the knitting machine. And after a mechanical process, it is woven across the width of the carpet. That is why it is called (shoulder). What does longitudinal density (density) mean? As mentioned, the carpet has two dimensions, transverse and longitudinal. If we count the number of knots along the carpet, the longitudinal density of the carpet will be obtained. The longitudinal density of the carpet is called (density). To calculate the density of the carpet, the number of knots along the carpet must be calculated. Multiply the number of knots in ten centimeters by ten and the density in meters is calculated. But there is a difference in calculating the carpet density, and that is for carpets whose longitudinal density is more than 2000. To do this, we will calculate the number of knots along one meter of carpet and multiply the obtained number by 3. Carpet Density For carpets lower than 2000, multiply the number of knots per meter by 2. To distinguish between longitudinal and transverse compaction, we use the terms shoulder and compaction. Now the question arises that the length and width of the carpet density causes the quality of the carpet? Do you have to pay more for the high density of the carpet? The relationship between quality and density of carpets Before answering this question, a basic and important condition must be stated. The most important and influential factor in the quality of the carpet is the fibers used in the carpet. Therefore, in order to say that a carpet has a better and higher quality, the type of fibers used in the carpet must be examined. Therefore, fiber consumption is the most important factor in carpet quality. After the role of fibers, the density and reed of the carpet should be checked. By this part of the article, we realized that we have both a transverse density in the carpet, which we call the shoulder, and a longitudinal density, which we call the density. There is a direct relationship between the transverse density (shoulder) and the fineness of the carpet. The high number of reeds in the carpet makes the carpet delicate and finely woven. There is a direct relationship between longitudinal density or carpet density and carpet strength. The higher the density, the thicker and stronger the carpet will be. Provided that the yarn used in the carpet is acrylic fibers. What density should we choose? If you are looking for a fine and finely woven carpet, choose a carpet with a high reeds count, that is, between a 700 reeds carpet with a density of 2250 and a 1250 carpet with a density of 3600, it is better to choose a 1250 comb carpet. Also, in Dariush Carpet Company, there are 1200 reeds carpet with a density of 3600 and 1500 reeds carpets with a density of 4500, which you can view, choose and buy.But if you are looking for a thick and durable carpet, choose a carpet with a lower number of reeds (transverse density), ie choose a 700 reeds carpet. The final word The density of the carpet is not the only factor in the quality of the carpet, but when two carpets are the same in terms of fibers, the carpet with a higher density will have a better quality. But this quality depends on where you intend to use the carpet. When you are going to put the carpet in a place that has a lot of foot, it is better to choose a carpet with a higher thickness, and if the carpet is thrown in a place where the front And you want to choose a high-density carpet for more elegance.
