line art of Beck dyeingCarpet comes in a range of lovely colors that clients can choose from to liven up their home or workplace. The different fibers receive a dye to provide rich, long-lasting color. There are many different types of dye processes that carpet can undergo. One of the most popular is beck dying.

Beck dying is when a woven section of carpet is dyed in one piece. The infusion of dye into the fiber takes place in a large vat known as a beck. The solution, a blend of water, dye, and finishing chemicals, colors the entire carpet piece. This contrasts with dyeing the yarn before tufting it into the backing.

Pressure beck dyeing, also known as jet beck dyeing, occurs when technicians place the carpet and dye in a large, pressurized vat. Because the process uses heat and pressure, the dye penetrates the fibers more quickly. The result is a beautiful carpet with the desired color for the clients.
