Hand Tufted Rugs are not to be confused with hand knotted rugs for
both are quite different in the way they are manufactured and designed. Hand
tufted rugs are much affordable and require less time in making which also adds
to cost effectiveness. But why is it different? The answer lies in the making
technique.
In HandTufted Rugs, wool of high quality, (same as used in hand knotted rugs) is made
into loops and pushed through a backing which is imprinted with the desired
design. This is done by using a 'tufting gun'. After the backing is filled
thoroughly with loops, scrim which is like a perforated sheet is applied with
latex glue. After this dries, protective cloth backing is applied to protect
the underside of rug. In the end, shearing of rug is done to cut all loops of
rug to bring out the design.
So basically, fixation with latex is done to
keep the loops in place instead of knots. This is the only difference between
hand tufted and hand knotted rugs. Both being made of high quality wool, they
look and feel the same.
Hand TuftedRugs are highly
durable. They can withstand high traffic and can last up to 15 to 20 years
depending upon quality and usage. They look beautiful and elegant. Only issue
being that they are not really a collector's master piece. But they serve their
purpose completely.
