Some different types of carpets

Carpets can be divided into machine-made carpets and handmade carpets due to different production methods. Machine-made carpets include tufted carpets, woven Wilton carpets, and woven Axminster carpets.

1. Tufted carpet

This carpet belongs to a major category of mechanically manufactured carpets. It is not made by interweaving warp and weft, but by inserting pile yarns on the carpet base fabric through steel needles, and then gluing and holding the city head through the subsequent process. Due to its high production efficiency, this carpet is the first choice for hotel decoration.

2. Machine-woven Wilton carpet

The carpet is made by interweaving three yarns: warp yarn, weft yarn, and pile yarn, and then finishing it through subsequent processes such as gluing and shearing. Because this carpet craft originated from the Wilton area in England, it is called Wilton carpet. This loom uses double-layer fabrics so the production efficiency is relatively fast.

3. Machine-woven Axminster carpet

The carpet is also woven with three yarns: warp, weft, and pile yarn, and is then finished through subsequent processes such as gluing and shearing. The technology used in this carpet originated from Axminster in the UK. This loom is a single-layer fabric and the machine speed is very low. The carpet weaving efficiency is very low, and its efficiency is only 30% of that of the Wilton loom.

4. Other carpets: hand-woven carpets; hand-gunned carpets.

1. Commercial carpet

Broadly speaking, it refers to all carpets except household and industrial carpets. Commercial carpets are still limited to hotels, hotels, office buildings, offices, restaurants and other places in China. In the United States and Western developed countries, in addition to the above-mentioned places of use, commercial carpets have been used in airport terminals, dock cruise halls, and station waiting halls. They are widely used in supermarkets, hospitals, schools, nursing homes, nurseries, theaters and other places. With economic development and social progress, the use of surface carpets will gradually increase and the coverage will be wider.

2. Household carpets

As the name suggests, it is a carpet for home use. Household carpets in China are still limited to strip carpets, because the decoration of Chinese homes is still dominated by wooden floors. In Western developed countries, household carpets are a combination of full-length carpets and carpets. China's household carpets have great potential.

3. Industrial carpets

Industrial carpets from home to abroad are still limited to decoration in cars, airplanes, passenger ships, trains, etc.

1. Pure wool carpets: mostly made of wool as the main raw material.

2. Chemical fiber carpet: (synthetic fiber) uses nylon fiber (nylon), polypropylene fiber (polypropylene), polyacrylonitrile fiber (acrylic fiber), polyester fiber (polyester), styling silk, silk, PTT and other chemical fibers as the main raw materials make.

3. Plastic carpet: Made of polyvinyl chloride resin, plasticizer and other auxiliary materials as the main raw materials.
