Difference between HandTufted and Machine-Woven Carpets

Hand-tufted carpets are usually costlier and require more time to make than machine-woven carpets. However, that’s mostly because they comprise high-quality materials such as 100% New Zealand wool, artificial silk, and viscose. Hand-tufted carpets are considered to be more rustic and robust than their machine-woven counterparts.

There are also specific aesthetic differences between the two. The back of the rug is undoubtedly the most noticeable. Hand-tufted carpets feature a canvas back that has been glued to the rear. However, machine-woven carpets have a reverse side replicating the front with tapestry-style stitches. On machine-woven carpets, you can count the number of knots per square inch and see each knot individually on the reverse side. Another point of differentiation is the thickness of the carpets. Hand-tufted carpets are usually thicker, while machine-woven ones are typically flatter.

Choosing the right Hand Tufted Carpet

You should consider several factors when choosing a hand tufted carpet in KSA.

• Material Quality - The most important consideration when choosing a carpet is the material. Besides the manufacturing process, the material is the most important consideration. A hand-tufted carpet made using high-quality materials will be more durable and keep its appearance intact for longer. The carpets provided by GreenHawk come in superior quality of up to 550HT and can be used in heavy traffic areas.
• Pile Density - The more dense the pile is, the more comfortable it is to walk on.
• Colour - Choose a colour that matches the space's decor where you’ll put the hand-tufted carpet. These types of carpets come in a wide range of designs, so you should easily find one that suits your style.
• Size - Carpet size also plays an essential role in improving the overall aesthetic of your space. No matter how good it is, a too-small or too-large carpet is bound to look odd. So, have a good idea of your space's size and choose wisely.
