Carpets
Woven
Carpets are produced on a loom similar to woven cloth. The pile can be plush or berber. Plush carpet is a cut pile and berber carpet is a loop pile. There are many new styles of carpet that combine these two styles called cut and loop carpeting.
Many different coloured yarns are used to create intricate patterns from pre-determined designs. . These carpets are usually the most expensive due to the relatively slow speed of the manufacturing process.
These carpets are more technologically advanced. Needle felts are produced by electrostatic attraction of individual synthetic fibres forming an extremely durable carpet. These carpets are found in the contract market such as hotels, business offices etc. where there is a lot of people continuosly walking through.
Knotted
On a knotted pile carpet , the structural weft threads alternate with a extra weft that rises at right angles to the surface of the weave. This extra weft is attached to the warp by one of three knot types, such as shag which was popular in the 1970s, to form the pile or nap of the carpet. Knotting by hand is most prevalent in Oriental rugs and carpets. Kashmir carpets are also hand-knotted.
Tufted
These are carpets that have their pile injected into a backing material, which is itself then bonded to a secondary backing comprising a woven hessian weave or a man made alternative to provide stability. This is the most common method of manufacturing of domestic carpets for floor covering purposes all over the world.
