Textile Floor Coverings - Classification of Machine-Made Rugs and Runners
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14215 standard specifies requirements for rugs and runners produced on machines using a variety of techniques, including weaving, tufting, knitting, needling, flocking, bonding, and hand-tufting. Based on their intended purpose and level of luxury, the standard strives to ensure the quality and classification of textile floor coverings.
This standard's classification of machine-made carpets and runners according to their level of luxury and use intensity is an important feature. Manufacturers and customers may make informed decisions about which textile floor coverings are best suited for particular spaces or purposes by categorizing the items. This system of classification aids in identifying the performance and durability traits of carpets or runners.
It's vital to remember that this guideline expressly forbids bathroom rugs, barrier mats, and hand-knotted carpets. The issues and specifications for these other kinds of floor coverings are not covered because the emphasis is mostly on textiles created by machines.
