Hand-Tufted Rug Cleaning Sydney

Hand-Tufted Rug Cleaning

At Sydney Rug Cleaning Carpets we are well experienced in hand-tufted rug cleaning serving Sydney and the local suburbs. As the name suggests, hand-tufted rugs are hand made mostly with woollen fibre. Hand-tufted rugs have increased in popularity due to their quality, durability, comfort and cost. There are premium hand-tufted rugs available like Lacey Champion, the Scott Group and V’Soske. They are made using an electric or air-powered needle punch gun, enabling one craftsman to make the entire rug. These rugs are of very high quality and very expensive.

Hand-tufted rugs of varying quality are made in India and China. The fibre used is usually wool punched through the cloth. A secondary backing is then glued to the primary back to cover the base. In some premium rugs especially from India, there is no secondary backing just latex with a small square-like pattern at the back.

Hand Tufted Rugs vs Machine Made Rugs

How to Differentiate Hand Tufted, Machine Made & Hand Knotted Rugs

In hand-knotted rugs you will not see the warp yarn, while on machine-made rugs the warp is visible.

Another test is that hand-made rugs will often have a woven selvage while machine-made rugs do not.

One difference easy to pick, is that the fringe on hand-made rugs will be made from continued warp yarns, while machine-made rugs have a sewn-on fringe

Hand tufted rugs have secondary backing attached to fibres by glue.
