Carpet, as a kind of soft flooring material, has a long history and is widely used in many countries.
Despite of its long history, due to the Cultural backwardness in the originated areas at that time, few written records were left. Up to now, the best preservation is the Egyptian jacquard carpet from the 4th to 5th centuries in the fabric Museum in Lyon, France.
Tracing back to the history of carpet production, it is believed that the origin of carpet production is not in a continuous line, but originated from independent and unrelated places for the needs of nomadic life. With the migration of nomadic tribes, the gradual improvement of people’s life, and the increasing development of the capitalist industrial revolution, carpet production was stimulated to a certain extent around the 19th century, and the production quantity increased rapidly.
Since 1960, carpet production has made great development and progress
1. The traditional hand-made carpet and modern machine made carpet have developed together.
Machine made carpet, with advanced science and technology, high efficiency, high-yield production, is gaining more and more share of the market.
Hand-made carpet, with rich and colorful patterns, small batch production of natural materials such as wool and silk is becoming a high-grade interior decoration handicraft,.
2. The performance of carpet is improved.
In the original color fastness, flexibility and quality indicators, as well as moth proof, anti-static, dust-proof, silencing, flame retardant, pollution resistance and easy to clean.
Study and application also start on the performance of the absorption of harmful gases, the luminescence of raw materials
3.Improvement of carpet technology.
In materials, special chemical carpet fiber has many characteristics. In equipment, special machine for production efficiency and product quality, such as tufted carpet loom, product design width, printing and color carpet dyeing continuity and automation machine appear; Testing for carpet fastness, elasticity, antistatic, flame retardant, moth proof, special instruments and measurement methods are increasingly mature, and have formed international standards.
Nowadays, carpet has developed to a category of wide variety, with various material , technique and style, which is versatile.
There is always a piece of carpet, for any need, any taste.
