The comeback of the carpet ?

This flooring has evolved a lot in this respect, no more need to ask questions about maintenance or hygiene, the carpet has also grown! So, brilliant idea or crazy idea?


Goodbye to the old-fashioned shades known to our parents and grandparents, the carpet reinvents itself by opposing its detractors with new colours and shapes! Patterns have also been rejuvenated since it is no longer rare to see huge rhombuses or large squares, as can be found in tiling. New reliefs and finishes have appeared. The most creative will have fun with the possibility of creating pretty trompe l'oeil effects...

Yes, there is such a thing as a green carpet ! To make sure your carpet is natural, check if it has the GUT Label corresponding to the European association for carpets and the environment. Carpets marketed under this label are odour-neutral and contain no toxic substances, which could help to avoid allergies and other irritations that this material can cause. A number of companies are now betting on producing only wool and vegetable fibre models. These materials are 100% natural on the one hand and allow for better insulation, designed with respect for the environment using recycled wool or hemp fibres. Recycled carpet is not only renewable but also easy to maintain.

Objectively, it has many advantages, in particular that of being environmentally friendly. This awareness shows that the industry has reinvented itself and corresponds to the expectations of a new generation of consumers.
