Regency Carpets – Carpet Types: Tufted

Posted on 29/07/10, filed under News | No Comments

With advances in manufacturing technology, 95% of all carpet produced today is tufted. It takes about an hour to make a roll of carpet that might take eight hours to weave. To make tufted carpet, hundreds of yarn-threaded needles are pushed through the primary backing fabric to form loops or tufts, which may be left as is or cut. A heavy adhesive coating is applied to hold the tufts in… read the rest of “Regency Carpets - Carpet Types: Tufted”

Regency Carpets – Troubleshooting: Pile Reversal

Posted on 19/07/10, filed under News | No Comments

(SEE SHADING) Like shading, this occurs when the pile or nap of the carpet changes direction and thus reflects light at different angles showing the effects of shading which can become permanent.

Regency Carpets – Troubleshooting: Indentations

Posted on 13/07/10, filed under News | No Comments

When a carpet is subjected to a heavy point load, such as under the legs of furniture, it is unreasonable to expect the carpet not to indent. Usually, the longer the load is in place, the longer will be the time for the pile to recover. In the case of very heavy loads in place for a considerable time, the recovery time can be very considerable.

Regency Carpets – Troubleshooting: Fading on Wool

Posted on 08/07/10, filed under News | No Comments

Carpets made from wool can and do fade in use. The degree of fade can vary depending on the colour chosen and the local conditions to which the carpet is subjected.

Regency Carpets – Troubleshooting: Static

Posted on 06/07/10, filed under News | No Comments

Carpets do not produce static but like other household fabrics and objects have the capacity to store it.

Regency Carpets – Troubleshooting: Shading

Posted on 05/07/10, filed under News | No Comments

Shading occurs because the pile of the carpet has become crushed, flattened or brushed in a different direction to the natural lie of the pile whilst in situ.

This will occur on all pile fabrics but can be more noticeable on plainer carpets because the shadows created by pile pressure will… read the rest of “Regency Carpets - Troubleshooting: Shading”

Regency Carpets – Troubleshooting: Sprouting

Remedial action merely requires that the offending tufts be scissor trimmed level with the rest of the pile. They should never be pulled out…
