Structure of a carpet

Regardless of its material and the manufacturing process, the structure of a carpet differs first of all according to whether it is three-dimensional (with a pole) or two-dimensional (without a pole).

Carpet with pole:

1. Wear layer (pile/pile, e.g. loops or velour)
2. Carrier layer
3. optional: Middle layer
4. Backing layer
5. optional: Adhesive layer
6. Substrate

Carpet without pile:

1. Wear and support layer (e.g. warp and weft)
2. optional: Backing layer
3. optional: Adhesive layer
4. substrate
