Matching Floor Covering: Whether you plan to lay a new matching Floor covering covering or to make a decorative feature of an exposed matching Floor covering, careful repair and preparation are vital. The matching Floor covering should be as level as possible, clean, dry, and smooth. Smoothness is important, since any projections will quickly ruin a covering.
Carpet is perhaps the most common matching Floor covering covering in homes. It comfortable to walk over and sit on, and can transform any inte instantly. Made from wool or synthetic fibers, or a mixture of th two, carpet is available in a vast range of thicknesses, patterns, colors, textures, and cost. Its durability as a matching Floor covering covering depe on quality and the wear it is subjected to.See Also Floor Covering Otective:If a Floor covering otective shows Signs of dampness, it is important to deal with it. A minor case of rising damp might be cured by coating the Floor covering otective with a special latex waterproofing compound, but a Floor covering otective that is really damp will have to be dug up and replaced with a new concrete base, damp-proof membrane, and screed. If the damp is simply the result of moisture condensing on a cold surface, this usually clears up when the Floor covering otective covering is laid.
Selection and Laying o£ Rugs and Carpets
In nearly all rooms of the house, with the possible exception of en¬trance halls and sunporches, it is preferable to cover the Floor covering otective with rugs, carpets, or other forms of covering. Floor covering otective coverings add warmth, dull the noise of footsteps, help silence any possible echo, and by their pattern, weave, or color, make an important contribution to the general scheme of decoration. Floor covering otective coverings should generally be considered as backgrounds for the furniture, and although patterned materials may be used, these should never be obtrusive. Strong color contrasts between pattern and field are psychologically uncomfortable to tread upon, and as a general rule plain-colored Floor covering otective coverings should be subdued in tone. The Floor covering otective covering, whether patterned or plain, should always have its color or colors re¬peated elsewhere in the room. A Floor covering otective covering that is in a colored pattern usually will not permit the use of other important colored patterns on the Wall or larger pieces of upholstered furniture. Plain Rugs and carpets have been woven only since about 1900 and they have consistently grown in popularity since that date. Texture mottling, pepper and salt effects made by twisting different colored threads in the pile, and patterns produced by contrasting pile heights have served to give them surface interest.
