A carpet is a textile floor masking usually consisting of an upper layer of pile hooked up to a backing. The pile was historically comprised of wool, however, since the twentieth century, artificial fibers such as polypropylene, nylon or polyester are sometimes used, as these fibers are inexpensive than wool. The pile normally consists of twisted tufts that are usually heat-treated to maintain their structure. The time period "carpet" is commonly used interchangeably with the time period "rug", though the time period "carpet" might be applied to a floor masking that covers a whole home, whereas a "rug" is mostly no greater than a single room, and historically does not even span from one wall to another, and is usually not even hooked up as part of the floor.

Carpets are used for a wide range of functions, including insulating an individual's feet from a chilly tile or concrete floor, making a room more snug as a place to sit on the floor (e.g., when playing with kids or as a prayer rug), reducing sound from walking (particularly in residence buildings) and adding decoration or color to a room. Carpets might be made in any color by using otherwise dyed fibers. Carpets can have many various kinds of patterns and motifs used to brighten the surface. In the 2000s, carpets are utilized in industrial and commercial establishments such as retail shops and hotels and in personal homes. In the 2010s, an enormous range of carpets and rugs can be found at many value and high quality levels, ranging from cheap, artificial carpets that are mass-produced in factories and utilized in commercial buildings to pricey hand-knotted wool rugs that are utilized in personal properties of rich families.

Carpets might be produced on a loom fairly similar to woven material, made utilizing needle felts, knotted by hand (in oriental rugs), made with their pile injected right into a backing material (known as tufting), flat woven, made by hooking wool or cotton via the meshes of a sturdy material or embroidered. Carpet is often made in widths of 12 feet (3.7 m) and 15 feet (4.6 m) within the USA, four m and 5 m in Europe. Since the twentieth century, the place vital for wall-to-wall carpet, totally different widths of carpet might be seamed along with a seaming iron and seam tape (previously it was sewn collectively) and glued to a floor over a cushioned underlay (pad) utilizing nails, tack strips (identified within the UK as gripper rods), adhesives, or sometimes decorative metal stair rods. Wall-to-wall carpet is distinguished from rugs or mats, that are unfastened-laid floor coverings, as wall-to-wall carpet is fixed to the floor and covers a much bigger area.

Child labor has typically been utilized in Asia for hand knotting rugs. The GoodWeave labelling scheme used all through Europe and North America assures that baby labour has not been used: importers pay for the labels, and the revenue collected is used to monitor centers of manufacturing and educate previously exploited children.
