A carpet is a textile flooring overlaying usually consisting of an higher layer of pile connected to a backing. The pile was traditionally made out of wool, however, since the 20th century, artificial fibers resembling polypropylene, nylon or polyester are sometimes used, as these fibers are cheaper than wool. The pile usually consists of twisted tufts that are usually heat-treated to maintain their structure. The time period "carpet" is usually used interchangeably with the time period "rug", although the time period "carpet" may be utilized to a flooring overlaying that covers an entire house, whereas a "rug" is usually no bigger than a single room, and traditionally does not even span from one wall to another, and is often not even connected as part of the floor.
Carpets are used for a variety of functions, including insulating a person's feet from a chilly tile or concrete flooring, making a room more snug as a place to sit on the ground (e.g., when taking part in with youngsters or as a prayer rug), lowering sound from strolling (notably in condominium buildings) and including ornament or coloration to a room. Carpets may be made in any coloration by using differently dyed fibers. Carpets can have many several types of patterns and motifs used to embellish the surface. Within the 2000s, carpets are used in industrial and industrial institutions resembling retail shops and hotels and in personal homes. Within the 2010s, an enormous vary of carpets and rugs can be found at many worth and quality levels, starting from inexpensive, artificial carpets which are mass-produced in factories and used in industrial buildings to expensive hand-knotted wool rugs that are used in personal properties of rich families.
Carpets may be produced on a loom quite similar to woven cloth, made utilizing needle felts, knotted by hand (in oriental rugs), made with their pile injected into a backing materials (referred to as tufting), flat woven, made by hooking wool or cotton through the meshes of a sturdy cloth or embroidered. Carpet is often made in widths of 12 feet (3.7 m) and 15 feet (4.6 m) in the USA, four m and 5 m in Europe. Since the 20th century, where essential for wall-to-wall carpet, completely different widths of carpet may be seamed together with a seaming iron and seam tape (previously it was sewn collectively) and fixed to a flooring over a cushioned underlay (pad) utilizing nails, tack strips (recognized in the UK as gripper rods), adhesives, or often ornamental metallic stair rods. Wall-to-wall carpet is distinguished from rugs or mats, that are unfastened-laid flooring coverings, as wall-to-wall carpet is fastened to the ground and covers a much larger area.
Youngster labor has often been used in Asia for hand knotting rugs. The GoodWeave labelling scheme used throughout Europe and North America assures that child labour has not been used: importers pay for the labels, and the income collected is used to watch facilities of manufacturing and educate previously exploited children.
