CARPET

-CONSTRUCTION

 

Types of Carpet

There are four main methods of carpet construction. Construction itself is not an indication of quality and performance.

Machine Woven:
Include well known constructions such as Axminster and Wilton. In both instances the pile yarn and the backing yarn are made into a carpet at the same time.

Tufted:
The tufted construction utilises a prewoven backing cloth into which yarns are tufted.

Bonded:
Several methods are used to bond either individual yarns or a bat or web of fibres onto a pre woven backing.

Hand Knotted:
Mainly used to produce rugs and carpets (called squares) and predominantly from the middle and far East.
