Rug Education Video

Understanding Tufted Rugs

In this educational video, Bill Corridan explains what tufted rugs are, how they are made, and some of the common issues associated with them.

Unlike hand-knotted Oriental rugs, tufted rugs are constructed using a different manufacturing process that involves pushing yarn through a backing material and securing it with adhesives.

Over time, tufted rugs can develop certain problems such as backing deterioration, adhesive breakdown, buckling, rippling, or fiber shedding.

In this 5-minute video, you’ll learn how to identify these common issues and better understand how tufted rugs should be cared for.

Tufted rugs are not the same as hand-knotted rugs. Their construction methods, durability characteristics, and cleaning considerations can be very different from traditional Oriental rugs.
