a. Machine Made Rugs
Machine made rugs are woven on power looms operated by computers. Advances in technology have made it possible for the power looms to produce intricate designs that were once reserved for handmade rugs. To make a machine made rug, fibers are put into place by a machine and then it is secured with latex backing. The process makes the back of machine made rugs rough to touch and creates a grid appearance onback of the rug. Durability of the rug is determind by the rug density. The denser the pile, the better the rug will wear. The density of machine made rug is measured by points per square meter. There can be 2.5 million points per square meter depending on the thickness of the yarn being used. Machine made rugs can be made in a variety of thickness, tuxture and dimensions. They are made with different kinds of fibers such as: Olefin (Polypropylene), nylon, wool, polyester, acrylic, cotton, faux silk and Delcron. The type of fiber used in machine made rugs determined their appearance and performance.
b. Hand Tufted Rugs
The tufted rug is a semi handmade rug utilizing a device called a "tufting gun". There is no knotting in the tufted rugs and the wool used to make them are usually cheaper grade wool, therefore, they will never last as long as the hand knotted rug.
The tufting gun is a hand operated tool that punches strands of wool into a canvas streched on a frame. Then latex glue is applied to hold the tufts in place. This method of rug making is much less time consuming than hand knotted rug. The rug maker will apply a secondary foundation, which is then covered by a third final cloth backing.
This method of rug making still requires a good level of craftsmanship to accurately portray the intricate design. The final step is shearing the tops of the looped tufts to create the pile
c. Texture carpet is a very popular cut pile carpet that has alternating twists of yarn, creating a two-tone appearance which helps minimize the appearance of footprints and vacuum marks. This style is appropriate for any room in the home, exudes a casual elegance.
