Reed and Density
Carpet has three important characteristics, including reed, fringe density, and weft density, each of which has a special and important meaning in the carpet industry.
The carpet reeds determine the fineness and type of texture (fine-woven or coarse-woven) of the carpet and are its knots or fringes in each lineal meter. On the other hand, the fringe and weft density determine the strength and compaction of the carpet. The fringe density means the number of carpet fringes per square meter. Thus, as the fringe density of a carpet increases, it becomes more compact and heavier. Weft density means the number of knots inside the carpet, adding to the strength of the carpet fringes. Therefore, a higher density of the fringes, weft, and reeds of the carpet will lead to finer and more delicate designs and patterns of the carpet called superfine in carpet industries.
Characteristics of 1200-Reed Carpets
The concept of a 1200-reed machine-made carpet with a density of 3600 is that there are 1200 knots in 1 lineal meter and 3600 knots in one square meter of the carpet. Due to the high number of carpet knots per meter, it is necessary to use delicate yarns and fibers in the carpet texture, creating exquisite patterns and designs. In other words, as the density and reeds of the carpet increase, the knots become closer, and the yarn used in the carpet needs to be more delicate.
Advantages of 1200-Reed Carpets
Hand-look: The hand-look carpets are those of 700 reeds and more, and they are very similar in appearance to hand-made carpets due to elegant weaving and high density. In hand-made carpets, the pile yarn is knotted tightly around the warp, and if you look behind the carpet, you can see the pile. In machine-made hand-look carpets, if you look behind the carpet, the yarns look like hand-made carpets as the letter U. If you look at the back of hand-look carpets, the similarity of the weaving to hand-made carpets is quite obvious.
Delicate Design and Pattern: Given the high delicacy of 1200-reeds carpets and also their similarity to hand-made ones, the use of 1200-reeds machine-made carpets for luxurious places or reception areas of the house is suitable to add to the beauty and elegance of the house. In other words, 1200-reeds carpets are unique and superfine products that attract a lot of attention because of their highly delicate design
Totally, the advantages of 1200-reeds carpets are as follows:
One of the advantages of 1200-reeds carpets is their delicacy and softness due to the high number of knots.
The 1200-reeds carpets are quite hand-woven like.
In 1200-reeds carpets have attractive patterns and designs due to the high density and reeds.
