Textile Floor Carpets

A big focus for some flooring manufacturers, textile flooring is a new flooring option that looks and feels soft like a carpet but performs like a sheet vinyl wood. Some examples of unique textile flooring products include Kinetex by J&J Flooring Group and Flotex Flocked Flooring by Forbo.

A carpet is a textile floor covering typically consisting of an upper layer of pile attached to a backing. The pile was traditionally made from wool, but since the 20th century synthetic fibers such as polypropylene, nylon, or polyester have often been used, as these fibers are less expensive than wool.

Textile floor coverings are textiles like carpets meant to be used on floor surfaces. They include carpets, mats, rugs, and related materials that are secured to a floor via means of staples, tacks or glue, as well as removable area rugs.
