• Woven carpets have either a loop pile or a cut pile.

• Tufted carpets are produced by punching the pile yarn into a ready-formed woven fabric. These types of carpet are manufactured speedily by machine , or by hand , and are especially popular in the residential market .

Carpets are supplied in rolls and should be laid on top of an underlay . Carpet tiles can be fitted directly onto a laminate, vinyl, timber or concrete floor, and can be easily replaced should a single tile become damaged.
