      • Natural fibers: wool, sisal, jute, cotton, maize, coir
      • Synthetic fibers: nylon, acrylic, modacrylic, polyester, polypropylene olefins

    Parts of a Carpet

    • Face: the upright ends of yarn, forming the wearing surface
    • Primary backing: the canvas on which yarns are woven
    • Latex adhesive: a synthetic rubber compound that glues the roots of the yarn to the primary backing
    • Secondary backing: a cotton mesh cloth bonded to the primary backing

    Methods of Manufacturing Carpets

      • Velvet: a simple and inexpensive type of weaving
      • Wilton: a weaving process that uses a modified Jacquard loom
      • Axminster: a weaving process that uses a knitting machine

    Factors to Consider in Carpet Construction

    • Pile density: the weight of pile yarn in a given volume of carpet face
    • Widthwise density measurement:
      • Gauge: the distance between the needles
      • Pitch: the number of ends in a 27-inch width of carpet
    • Lengthwise density measurement:
      • Stitch rate: the number of times per inch a stitch occurs
      • Pile height: the length of the tuft from the primary backing to the tip

    Textures of Carpets

    • Cut Pile:
      • Cut Pile Plush: a smooth cut pile with uniform surface
      • Saxony Plush: a thicker, more dense pile with a less defined look
      • Twist/Frieze: a very tightly twisted yarn that is heat-treated
      • Shag: a multi-directional, high pile surface
    • Loop Pile:
      • Level Loop Pile: a uniform uncut loop surface
      • Multilevel Loop Pile: a surface with different pile heights

    • Continuous Dyeing: a process of dyeing carpet in a continuous production line
    • Package Dyeing: a process of dyeing spun yarns on large perforated forms
    • Random Multicolor Dyeing: a process of achieving a random dye application

    Printing

    • Screen Printing: a process of applying a design to carpet using flat templates
    • Deep-Dye Printing: a process of applying a design to carpet using an electrostatic charge
    • Roller Printing: a process of applying a design to carpet using embossed cylinders
    • Jet Printing: a process of applying a design to carpet using rows of closely spaced jets

    Carpet Cushion or Underlay

    • Definition: a foundation that increases wearability, provides added insulation, and deadens sound
    • Types of cushions:
      • Fiber cushions: made by needlepunching natural or synthetic fibers
      • Sponge rubber cushions: made from flat sponge, ripple sponge, or reinforced foam rubber### Polyurethane Foam Cushion
    • Three types of polyurethane foam cushion: bonded, modified prime, and densified prime urethane foam.
    • These types have similar chemical compositions but differ in cellular structure, affecting performance.
    • Bonded foam is manufactured from scraps of foam bonded together through adhesive and heat fusion process.
    • Modified prime foam is manufactured in a continuous sheet and may contain fillers.
    • Densified foam is denser than modified prime foam and highly resistant to bottoming out.

    Installation Methods

    • Tackless Stripping (or Stretch-In Installation): traditional installation method for residential applications and commercial woven wool carpets.
    • Glue-down Method: used with bonded carpet, high density foam rubber is used as the secondary backing and cemented directly to the floor.
    • Direct Glue-down: most common method of commercial installation, economical and practical, carpet is glued directly to the floor without a cushion.
    • Double Glue-down: combines underfoot comfort of stretch-in installation with stability of direct glue-down, carpet cushion is adhered to the floor and carpet is glued to the cushion.
    • Self-stick: latest development in carpet installation techniques, flexible adhesive layer is applied to carpet backing, labor and time are eliminated.

    Rugs

    • Definition: a single piece of compact, woven, knitted, or tufted fabric with borders, intended as a floor covering.
    • Manufactured from natural or man-made fibers, produced in various lengths, widths, and shapes.
