Scope of Comparison List
What is Carpet
Carpets are not the same thing as rugs are. In fact, they are different in production and application. Any list that compares carpet manufacturers with kilim manufacturers is irrelevant. A simple analogy is that if carpet is a bus then a rug is a racing car. Carpets are bigger in size and they are designed to withstand high traffic and professional maintenance. Carpets come with 5 to 10 years warranty.
Rugs should be ordered from a professional rug manufacturer.
Ordering carpet from non-specialized manufacturer might visually satisfy the need but raise functional problems during and after installation.
Only Woven Machine-made Carpet Manufacturers
We consider all manufacturers in this list based on their ability to produce carpets, other flooring products are not considered in this list.
Kilim and other floor covering products are not included although many manufacturers listed here produce other floor covering products too.
One company might be well known due to their other floor covering products but it is not a factor when we are evaluating carpet production capacity.
