TYPES OF CARPET KNOTTED NEEDLEFELT TUFTED WOVEN FIBRES AND YARNS USED FOR CARPETS SOUND ABSORPTION EFFECTIVENESS
KNOTTED CARPET On a knotted pile carpet (formally, a supplementary weft cut-loop pile carpet), the structural weft threads alternate with a supplementary weft that rises at right angles to the surface of the weave.
NEEDLEFELT ` These carpets are more technologically advanced. Needle felts are produced by intermingling and felting individual synthetic fibers using barbed and forked needles forming an extremely durable carpet.
TUFTED These are carpets that have their pile injected into a backing material, which is itself then bonded to a secondary backing made of a woven hessianweave or a man made alternative to provide stability.
WOVEN The carpet is produced on a loom quite similar to woven fabric. The pile can be plush or berber. Plush carpet is a cut pile and Berber carpet is a loop pile. There are new styles of carpet combining the two styles called cut and loop carpeting.
FIBRES AND YARNS USED FOR CARPET Carpet can be made from many single or blended natural and synthetic fibres: • Nylon • Polypropylene • Wool and wool-blends • Polyester • Acrylic
