What Is A Tuft Bind in Carpeting?

What is a tuft bind in carpeting? When flooring experts understand carpet construction, they can better assist their clients. They can help clients determine their needs and choose the right type of carpet. Carpeting comes in two main types: weaving and tufting. Manufacturers produce most carpets for sale today using tufting. This process weaves yarn into the backing and then cuts it evenly.

There are different levels of quality for tufted carpeting, and one of the measures of durability is the force required to pull a tuft from the carpet. Higher tuft bind reduces the chance that edges unravel or yarn pulls out. Other carpet problems, like zippering and sprouting, will also happen less often with a higher bind.

When it comes to getting clients exactly what they want, it makes sense to explain to them about tuft bind and the difference that it can make in the quality of carpet they buy.
