Simplest type of all carpet weaves. Pile is form as loom loops over wires
inserted across loom. Pile height is determined by height of wire inserted
The loom is highly specialized and nearly as versatile as hand weaving. Color
combinations and designs are limited only by the number of tufts in the carpet
The loom operates like a velvet loom, except that it has a Jacquard
mechanism with up to six color frames
This process produces complete carpet by imbedding pile yarns and
adhering backing to a viscous vinyl face that hardens after the curing
The process resembles weaving in that the face and back are made
simultaneously. Backing and pile yarns are looped togeher with a stitching
