Carpet
Carpet is a versatile flooring material that, in addition to its comfort
and appearance, offers slip-resistance and insulation. This type of
flooring can’t cope with moisture, so it is most suitable for living
rooms, hallways, landings, stairways, and bedrooms. Carpet is
made from natural fibers, such as wool, cotton, and cellulosic’s. The
most common manmade/synthetic fibers are nylon and polyester.
