Knowing how carpeting is made gives you a real advantage, because clients always have many questions about it. When flooring contractors can answer their questions, they will be better able to steer them toward the floor coverings that will be best for their needs.

One of the key aspects of understanding carpet is knowing about the fibers. Manufacturers make most carpets today from nylon fibers or polypropylene. The material to make the fiber is put into its liquid state, then pushed into the spinneret. The spinning process starts with the flow of spinning fluid within the spinneret. As the process pushes the fluid through the holes of the spinneret, it experiences high stress and forms a long string that solidifies as it cools. The size and number of holes in the spinneret determine the type of carpet fiber produced.
