Question

Carpets give a room a rich look. They not only give an aesthetic look to the room but also absorb dust and noise, and serve as comfortable floor covering.

In this context, answer the following question:

What are tufted carpets?

Answer 1

Tufted carpets are carpets made by inserting (tufting) yarn tufts into a primary backing rather than weaving the pile into the fabric. The tufts are punched or needled into a polypropylene backing and then locked in place with a layer of latex; a foam or woven jute secondary backing may be added afterward. The pile can be looped, cut, or a mixture of both, and tufted carpets are produced in plain or patterned forms.
