The textile world at a glance: From sustainable products to processes
Carpet squares: carpet with form
The global demand for tufted carpets has developed rather moderately compared to hard floors in recent years. The carpet square segment, on the other hand, is experiencing a real boom. While carpet squares were first found in the public sector, they are now enjoying a strongly growing popularity in the private sector due to their numerous benefits. From printed designs to sculpted level cut loop patterns, today carpet squares are convenient and practical and combine the comfort of a carpet with the durability of other floor covers.
In general, carpets provide certain benefits over other floor coverings: They create an improved room atmosphere and prevent slipping, in addition to their sound and heat insulating properties. They are pleasant to walk on, and their resistance to wear speaks for itself. In addition, those with allergies benefit from approximately half of the fine dust generated compared to hard floors. That aside, carpets are often less expensive.
Carpet squares: easy to maintain and individually replac
In addition, carpet tiles are far easier to transport and lay, with less waste, compared to other alternatives. They can be arranged in a number of ways and, at the same time, individual tiles can be easily replaced, making them reusable even if you move. On the material side, carpet squares also provide high dimensional stability. The carpet tile requires sophisticated production, so Groz-Beckert offers precisely matched individual tools as a gauge part system. This system is composed of the following components:
- Tufting needle / tufting needle module
- Cut pile looper / looper module
- Reed finger module
- Tufting knives
