Tufted carpet is made on a very large multi needled sewing machine. Fibres are stitched into an existing backing and held in place with a latex adhesive. The product is then finished with a secondary backing for structural strength.
The types of construction available are: cut pile, cut + loop pile and level loop pile.
This type of construction is popular because it is inexpensive to make compared to other weaving methods, this is due to the fact that a large amount of carpet can be made at one time at a relatively fast pace.
