裝修記(9) - 揀地毯

上回明明話萬母唔鍾意用地毯，因咩解究而家又要揀地毯呢？

因為咁嘅，喺搵builders報價嘅過程中，其中一個媽媽級建築師講咗一個point，令萬母好信服，就係樓梯用地毯既可減少嘈音，又可防滑，最重要係萬一真係喺樓梯趺親，撞落地毯比落木地板冇咁傷，就係咁，萬母就決定樓梯要鋪地毯喇。

原來揀地毯都係一大學問，想耐用就最好揀short, dense, heavy嘅地毯。

下面個網站有介紹唔同種類嘅地毯，包括材料，織法等等，最重要係佢有個quiz，只要答佢嘅問題，例如：打算邊度鋪地毯，有冇細路/寵物，預算係幾多，要求咩質料，答完佢就會建議你用邊種地毯。

以下就係萬母得到嘅答案： polyester twist carpet

A polyester twist carpet would be a good choice for you.

Polyester is reasonably priced and stain resistant, to help you cope with any dirt or spillages caused by children or pets. It also looks the most like wool. Twists are good at hiding dirt, and are a good choice for areas with lots of foot traffic because they don't show footprints, vacuum marks or furniture marks.

另外地毯嘅厚度又係一門學問，厚地毯踩落去軟棉棉，舒服D，但樓梯又唔適宜用太厚，因為D摺位太厚會容易"踏空"，建議半吋以下會較適合樓梯用。

地毯一樣可以拎免費samples嘅，有時電腦出嘅色同實物差好遠，建議真係要睇吓實物先作決定。
