![]() They are harder wearing due to their tighter construction, which also helps increase resistance to gathering dirt and dust. Moderate density, similar in grain to Kosset carpets, this carpet is suited to medium to high foot-traffic areas in domestic settings, or high traffic areas in commercial settings, as its higher density and height are more durable, harder wearing and generally collect less dirt than higher density or taller threaded carpets: Lower pile carpets are typically stronger and harder wearing, easier to clean and less easily marked or dented by furniture or footsteps than high-pile, cut thread carpets as they are shallower and more accessible to clean, with less depth to hold dirt. The variation between lighter tones of orange-red interlaced with burgundy or wine shades creates a texture which is a rich, rusty, earthen clay colour with light highlights and dark, almost black shadows adding interest and variation. This auburn medium density, medium height, loop pile carpet is perfect for creating warm, forest or desert themed floors adding a splash of colour and contrast to cool, restrained materials or shades or uniting deep, rich, regal colours and textures. The image represents a physical area of 600 x 591 mm (23.6 x 23.3 inches) in total. You can download a high resolution version of this texture and a matching bump map or CAD hatch (compatible with AutoCAD and Revit) using Architextures Create with a Pro Subscription.A seamless carpet texture with a loop pile carpet surface. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations. This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It is a popular warm, insulating lining for boots and winter clothing, while its water resistance helps repel moisture while allowing it to breathe, preventing water building up below the surface, while the variety of colours with which it can be dyed lends itself to creating bright and arresting patterns in interior design projects or furniture such as chairs, sofas, decorative wall and ceiling panels, or mats and rugs. It is also highly durable, cushioning and light, despite its density. Felt is still generally rougher than other fabrics due to the manufacturing process, although felt made from natural materials is not rough enough to cause damage or irritation to skin or material surfaces.įelt is a common material for both acoustic and thermal insulation as its density and interlocking layering of fibres help absorb sound and limit transmission of hot or cold air. Felt made from natural materials will be lighter, softer and more malleable, while acrylic felts are typically harder and coarser. Acrylic fibres are less sustainable due to their plastic and synthetic fibre content, although they can be recycled. It is then processed to achieve a consistent density and depth while increasing the interlocking of the fibres, before being trimmed and shaved to tidy up the edges.įelt can be a sustainable material if it is made from natural fibres such as wool, or by using recycled felt, yarn or carpet fibres that don’t contain glue or other harmful chemicals. The batts of felt are then further machine compressed and hardened before being cleaned, dyed and left to dry. Made by carding the clean, loosened and separated wool after removing matted clumps and tangled pieces, it then undergoes a rigorous process of being bound together under steam, then being pressed to matt the fibres together. ![]() ![]() Felt’s interlocked construction helps prevent splits and frays at edges, while it cuts and can be worked more favourably than knitted or woven fabric. The fibres themselves are normally lightweight, although the density of the fabric tends to make it somewhat heavier. Some acrylic based felts are waterproof by design. Being interlocking and matted, it is highly durable and water resistant. Dark grey in colour, this felt texture is a low-pile, high density fabric, similar in appearance to melton, a woven fabric. Felt traces its history back thousands of years to parts of both Asia and Europe, where it was initially used to make warm, insulated clothing, shoe linings and tents. ![]() The image represents a physical area of 500 x 425 mm (19.7 x 16.7 inches) in total.įelt is an interlocked and matted fabric which can be either natural, from cotton or wool fibres synthetic, from nylon, acrylic, or other similar synthetic yarn-like materials or a combination of both, usually wool and acrylic.
