Printed Carpets-
Bust the Myth

Printed Carpets offer supreme pattern flexibility and creative independence. Designs can be made to match both your room and personality perfectly. They vary hugely in size from high-resolution half-inch patterns to large patterns as well. Despite years of research into technically refining, improving, developing carpet advancement there are still some misconceptions about using Printed Carpet.

Factors including temperature or moisture affect the relative humidity of the interior of any space. Changes in these can affect your floor causing it to contract or expand. This change, while unnoticeable to the naked eye on a single plank or tile, can make a vivid difference on an overall floor once fitted, leading to gaps buckling, warping, or even cupping.

It is very important to acclimatize your new wooden flooring to the new environment of the interior space it is going to be installed in. This is extremely easy to do. Simply leave your new flooring in the boxes it has arrived in the room you intend to be fit for the minimum number of days recommended in the chart below.

Sample Approval and Order Finalization

The journey begins with approving the sample and finalizing the order. This step ensures that the design meets the client's expectations and sets the foundation for the entire production process.

Design Transfer

Once the order is finalized, the approved design is transferred onto tracing paper. This tracing paper is then projected onto a stencil, which is cut to the exact size of the carpet or rug to be manufactured. This stencil serves as a blueprint for the entire tufting process.

Yarn Preparation

While the stencil is being prepared, the yarn is dyed to match the approved colors. This step is crucial for achieving the desired aesthetic and ensuring consistency throughout the carpet.

Canvas Stencil Setup

The prepared stencil is stretched and secured onto a vertical frame. This setup allows technicians to work efficiently and accurately as they bring the design to life.

Tufting Process

Using hand-held tufting guns, skilled technicians insert the yarn into the color-numbered placements on the stencil. This step requires precision and attention to detail to ensure that the design is accurately replicated.

Shearing

After the tufting process is complete, the carpet is sheared to create an even surface. Shearing enhances the carpet's texture and gives it a polished, finished look.

Carving Process

Experienced technicians then carve the carpet to add depth and aesthetic beauty. Carving is an essential step that brings the design to life, adding dimension and intricacy to the final product.

Final Preparation

Finally, the carpet is prepared for shipping and delivery. This step ensures that the carpet reaches the client in perfect condition, ready to transform their space with its beauty and elegance.

DURABILITY

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”small” position=”left” color=”#bfbfbf” border_style=”” thickness=”2″ width=”50″ up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]One of the most common worry about installing printed carpet is that over time, foot traffic will wear away the print. However, as the dye is chemically bonded into the carpet fibres, the printed designs are able to withstand high levels of foot traffic. Proof of this is the use of printed carpet in airports, hotels and other such busy areas.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”42px”][vc_single_image image=”22980″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”42px”][vc_single_image image=”22988″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”42px”][vc_column_text]
