Government; Building Code Requirements

There are two types of carpet specifications: construction and performance. Construction specifications tell the manufacturer in very precise terms how the carpet is to be made (look, size, weight and manufacturing of raw materials and processes) without directly stipulating performance needs or end-use requirements. A construction specification would include the following:

Construction type

tufted, woven, knitted, needlepunched, etc.

Construction materials

fiber (fiber type, size), backing (type, weight) and adhesives.

Construction methods

yarn manufacturing (yarn size and ply), fabric formation (gauge, pile height and texture, density, total weight), coloration techniques (dyeing methods), finishing and treatments.

Product characteristics

texture, color/design, size/type and functional enhancements.
