Antrim Carpets USA, LTD is acquired by Stanton Carpet in November 2007. Below is an explanation of the various  construction types that are available through Stanton

Machine Tufted Construction

• Needles stitch hundreds of rows of pile yarn through a primary backing
• A loop holds the yarn in place to form a tuft as the needle is removed
• Can create either loop or cut-pile finish
• The fastest method of carpet production
• Easiest construction to install

Woven Wire Wilton

• Oldest method of carpet manufacturing
• Originated in Wilton, England
• Pile is created by weaving yarns around a series of wires across the width of the carpet
• Loop pile is created by extracting the wires leaving the loop intact
• Cut pile is created by extracting wires with cutting blades at one end
• It is also possible to create a combination of cut and loop pile with this method

Face to Face Wilton

• Traditionally creates a cut-pile finish only
• The carpets are woven as a “sandwich” and split into two rolls (genders) at the end of production
• Exceptionally durable and dimensionally stable
• Differs from wire-Wilton production in that all the yarn is utilized and not buried in the backing style

Machine Flatweave

• Does not have any backing
• The warp (length) and weft (width) yarns comprise the entire foundation of the carpet
• Produces low-profile finish
• Exceptional durability

Woven Hand-Loomed

• Essentially a manual version of machine wire-Wilton carpet weaving
• Yarn is woven over a series of metal rods
• The loop is kept intact for loop finishes and cut over the top of the rods for cut-pile finishes
• Can also create cut and loop textures
• Allows for creating a variety of textures that cannot be achieved on conventional weaving or tufting machines
• Widths up to 16’3”

Hand-Tufted

• Same basic concept as machine tufting
• Yarns are ”punched” through a primary backing using a handheld tufting gun
• Oftentimes patterns are printed on the primary backing to guide the tufting
• process
• Latex is applied to the back of the primary and a secondary backing is applied to lock the yarns in place
• A cosmetic “scrim” is usually applied to conceal the salvage yarns and provide added dimensional stability
