Area Rugs – The Hand Tufting Process

Paul from The Web -

Hand-tufted rugs and hand-knotted rugs appear to be very similar and are commonly mistaken for one another, but in that Hand-tufted area rugs are not as durable as the knotted type they are much more affordable. The main reason this type of area rug is so affordable is because they are much easier and quicker to make. Using a special tool to form the tufts and eliminating the time it takes to tie a knot in each one save time and simplifies the process. Though knotted area rugs are more durable than hand-tufted rugs, if you are careful to choose a closely tufted rug it can last quiet a long time even in heavy traffic areas.

The process starts by cutting the material into the correct size and shape so that it can be stretched over a backing frame at which point the craftsman can commence. A drawing of the proposed area rug is created so that its image can be projected onto the material and the area rugs design can be traced. Like a paint-by-numbers kit, numbers are given to each area to represent the colors to be used. The correct color yarns are than pushed, with the use of a unique device called a tufting gun, through the backing. A latex glue is then applied to hold each tuft to the backing. The looped tufts are then cut to create the pile. A layer of latex is then laminated on the back of the rug along with a layer of a material designed to protect the floor in the homes where the area rug will be placed.

I am very interested in making my own tufted rugs. I have heard

of the rug tufting guns, but don't know where to buy one. What

is the average cost & do they come with simpe instructions.

I would appreciate any helpful information.

Thanks! Susie Tomes

Oh boy...I bought this tufting gun and I'm really dissapointed...it is slow and doesen't work! What's up to you? Why do you sell non-working products? What a waste of money!

Please people, don't buy one of them, it's all a fake!

I bought a hand tufted rug 4 years ago and now it smells terrible. I learned from an on-line cleaning site that the latex glue emits an odor as it ages. Is this true of all hand tufted rugs? I don't know what to do with my beautiful carpet. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks for the explanation Paul. If you had a choice between hand tufted and hand knotted rugs, which would you rather buy?

Hello,

I make custom hand tufting guns. They are currently designed for a pneumatic application but I can modify it to work with an electrical application.

This well crafted rugs should have a great care to increase its life year. You can use a rug pad to protect them.
