The Rise of 700 Reed Acrylic Carpets in Religious Architecture
In modern mosque and prayer hall design, aesthetics and functionality must come together. One element that plays a critical role is the carpet , not just as a surface but as a spiritual, visual, and functional foundation for worship. Among the most favored choices for religious environments is the 700 reed acrylic carpet, known for its dense texture, long-term durability, and stunning Islamic patterns.
Iran, particularly the industrial city of Kashan, is a global leader in the production of high-quality machine-made carpets for sacred spaces. Companies like Pamchal Carpet specialize in 700 and 1200 reed acrylic rugs, offering elegance and performance in large-scale mosque installations across the Middle East, Central Asia, and North Africa.
According to a report by The International Trade Centre, demand for durable prayer rugs with higher yarn density has increased by 17% in the past five years , especially in public religious buildings where traffic is constant.
What Does “700 Reed” Actually Mean?
“Reed” refers to the number of yarns per meter along the width of the carpet. A 700 reed carpet typically contains 2550 density, giving it a tight, smooth, and luxurious texture , closer to a handmade Persian rug in feel and appearance.
This density makes 700 reed carpets ideal for:
- High-traffic prayer areas in mosques
- Islamic schools and cultural centers
- High-profile public buildings where aesthetics matter
Pamchal’s 700 and 1200 reed rugs use German acrylic yarn, which provides a natural wool-like softness but offers greater resistance to moisture, fading, and deformation over time.
Why Acrylic? Benefits Over Other Materials
Not all machine-made carpets are created equal. Many cheaper products use polypropylene or polyester, which can feel synthetic and wear out quickly under heavy use.
Acrylic, on the other hand:
- Feels more like wool (soft but firm)
- Is more flame resistant and colorfast
- Resists mold and bacteria, important for hygiene in religious settings
- Holds patterns and motifs with higher clarity and detail
In a spiritual context, where appearance and purity matter, these characteristics are essential. That’s why most mosque architects and procurement managers prefer acrylic prayer rugs with higher reed counts.
Custom Mosque Carpet Design Options
Pamchal offers not just ready-made designs but also custom layout solutions for mosques. These services include:
- Adjusting carpet lines based on the Qibla orientation
- Incorporating Mihrab niches and row lines
- Matching color palettes with architectural styles (blue, green, burgundy, beige)
- Embedding geometric and floral Islamic art
Clients can submit floor plans or dimensions, and Pamchal’s design team will create a layout optimized for uniformity, elegance, and spiritual atmosphere.
Maintenance & Longevity
One of the standout features of Pamchal’s 700 and 1200 reed acrylic carpets is their low-maintenance durability. Even in mosques with over 500 daily users, the pile stays upright, vibrant, and uniform for years.
Maintenance tips include:
- Regular vacuuming (weekly)
- Spot cleaning with neutral pH detergent
- Professional steam cleaning once or twice a year
Because acrylic yarn repels dust and moisture naturally, the carpets remain fresh and hygienic — an important feature in religious spaces with strict cleanliness standards.
