Wall-to-wall carpet is also known as fitted carpet, moquette, and broadloom carpet. All these terms refer to the same type of flooring.
Introduction
Did you know that wall-to-wall carpet directly influences your experience in a cinema? It helps the sound of the movie reach your ears more clearly and contributes to a better viewing experience by absorbing light from the curtains. In this article, we will delve into why and what kind of wall-to-wall carpet is suitable for a cinema.
Characteristics of a Suitable Carpet for Cinemas
A suitable moquette for cinemas, theaters, or amphitheaters should possess the following characteristics:
Acoustics
The first and foremost characteristic of a suitable carpet for a cinema is acoustics. Wall-to-wall carpets, unlike other flooring options, do not reflect sound; they absorb it. This great feature enhances the sound quality and prevents disturbing noises from being heard. One of the common disturbing noises in cinemas is the sound of foot traffic on stairs. Therefore, it is highly recommended to cover the stairs with wall-to-wall carpets.
Dust Absorption
Another key factor is dust absorption. Cinemas and theaters are commonly crowded places, wall-to-wall carpets absorb the dust from the soles of shoes, preventing it from spreading in the air. This is not just an optional factor; dust absorption is a standard used in airplane cabins and buses.
Resistance
As mentioned earlier, cinemas and theaters usually host many people daily. Therefore, the appropriate carpet should be resistant to high foot traffic and erosion. Loop-pile wall-to-wall carpets and carpet tiles are perfect choices for carpets resistant to erosion.
