High grade wool combined with a tight weave (higher count of threads per square inch) results in a heavier, denser and higher resolution Aubusson Carpet. In our Aubusson Carpets it means thickness, flat woven (not blocked) and longevity. After all, you will be walking on an Aubusson for a long time and you do not want to see the high traffic areas become thread bare or curling at the corners.

A flatweave is a rug woven through different weaving styles, where some of the weaving styles such as the aubusson weave are amongst the most intricate and skilled in the world.

Satin Weave is a basic weave, characterized by long floats of yarn on the face of the fabric. The yarns are weaved in such a way that there is no visible interlacing pattern, which gives the fabric a smooth, shiny surface.

Weave is a de-interlacing algorithm that simply weaves the two interlaced fields together to generate a frame. This works well if the image is still, but the slight difference in time between the fields causes a moving object or panning scene to contain edges that appear feathered. (add picture of weave feathering) This is the de-interlace mode used when "combine fields" is set in the NVDVD Video property page.

Writing an informative yet compact thriller is a lot like making maple sugar candy. You have to tap hundreds of trees...boil vats and vats of raw sap...evaporate the water...and keep boiling until you've distilled a tiny nugget that encapsulates the essence. Of course, this requires liberal use of the DELETE key. In many ways, editing yourself is the most important part of being a novelist...carving away superfluous text until your story stands crystal clear before your reader.

Gecko Traders works with silk weaving co-ops in Cambodia, who weave as part of an ages-old tradition. Years of war and political unrest disrupted this tradition. We are pleased to play a part in reviving this unique craft.

The Hybrid Weave Gi is a new product developed by Marcelo Machado. The fabric is lighter than a Double Weave, but stronger than a conventional Single Weave. It affords maximum strength without being overly heavy.

A fabric that is not yet married. Just kidding... The Single Weave is what we call in Brazil, the light weave. It has the same twisting as the double weave, but it is lighter.

The Summer Weave is made with a non-twisted fabric, different than the other weaves. Because of that, it is extremely light, but still has strength to it. Summer Weave Gi's are for training on the hottest days.

The Double Weave is the strongest and most durable gi that we offer. It is heavy and can be hot to train in.

It depends on the quality of the human hair used. Typically human hair that is mass produced like the hair from Korea, does not do well with water. When using Korean human hair it is recommended that a dry shampoo is used to clean your scalp. A dry shampoo consists of cleansing the scalp with a damp cloth for several rounds using different cleansing ingredients. Tipping is primarily a personal decision.

Carpets can cause excessive movement in the tongue and groove section. Subsequent material fatigue can result in a difference in height and joint gaps.

Housekeeping regularly shampoos carpets. If you want your carpets shampooed, contact your Building Administrator and your office will be scheduled for the service.

Typically, we recommend cleaning your carpets every six months to one year, depending on the type of carpet and how much traffic it sees. Most carpet warranties also require professional cleaning about once annually to remain valid. However, if you have pets or children, you should consider cleaning high traffic areas more frequently. Spills and deep stains should be cleaned immediately because the longer they sit, the tougher they are to get out.

Most carpets will take five to eight hours to dry depending on the type of fabric and the room temperature. You should leave carpet protectors under your furniture for at least 24 hours.

When cleaned and maintained correctly carpet life is considerably extended. Carpets these days are designed to hide dirt particles deep in the pile, so even if your carpet does not appear to be particularly dirty it's the unseen soils, bacteria and allergens that cause the real damage to both your carpet and to you and your families personal health. Makers of quality stain protected carpets recommend professional cleaning to Australian Standards 3733 every 12 to 18 months depending on use.

The carpet kits include a skein of cotton thread for adding a fringe, where fringing would be sensible (i.e. the staircarpets, for instance, do not include any). Detailed written instructions, and several diagrams, guide you through this decorative stitch, which is a little like a cross stitch with a loop, worked over the canvas edge. If you choose to finish the kit without a fringe, there is always enough crewel wool to hem all four sides instead.

You should clean your carpets on an as needed basis. The majority of homeowners have us clean their carpets twice per year on average. It is important to clean your carpets on a regular basis to prolong the life of your carpet.

When this protective coating is applied to the carpet fibres, it puts a protective barrier around each fibre. This protective barrier resists moisture. When you do have a spill, it gives you a window of time to get it cleaned up. (See our Spotting Guide) The other important way that this product helps you is in the area of wear. Having this protective coating on your carpet helps reduce the wear and abrasion caused by sand in the carpet.

Address carpets are a special type of DataGlyph which provide pure positional information, and do not carry message data at all. Even with a small capture window, one can determine exactly which portion of the DataGlyph is imaged.

Absolutely. The heating pads are water resistant. The heating wires are fully waterproof. When having your carpets washed, never use the heater to dry them as the carpet could get marked.

We recommend vacuuming frequently, especially high traffic areas. Vacuuming removes dirt particles which cut your fibers and cause carpet to look worn out. Every 2 years or whenever your carpet looks a little shabby or dirty, get a professional to deep steam clean your carpet. Never rent a shampooer because they simply leave too much soap in your carpets after cleaning. We recommend Brandon’s Carpet Cleaning; you can reach them at 410-686-5480
