Rivet Head Carpets and Rugs

Rivet head technique of manufacturing carpets/rugs was introduced in the year 1972 by an aeronautical engineer in Vienna, Austria.

Manufacturing Process
The pile is formed by moving a predetermined length of yarns with the help of a hollow needle inserted through the base or the backing fabric. When the hollow needle is withdrawn, The constrictive cation of the backing causes the end to bloom, or spread out , like a rounded rivet head. A latex mist is sprayed onto the back to lock the rivet heads in place.

Pile height is determined by the length of the yarn passed through the hollow needle through the backing. Pile density is determined by the closeness of the needle thrusts.
