INTRODUCTION
Flooring
is the general term for
a permanent covering of a floor,or for the work of installing such a floor covering.
Floor
covering
is a term to generically describe any finish material
applied over a floor structure to provide a walking surface. Both
terms are used interchangeably but floor covering refers more
to loose-laid.
Soft Coverings
Carpet is a floor covering woven or felted from natural or man-made fibers. Fitted carpet
is attached to the floor structure, extends wall-to-wall, and cannot be moved from place
to place. An underlay can extend carpet life and improve comfort.

Rugs are also woven or felted from fibers, but are smaller than the room in which they
are located, have a finished edge, and usually lie over another finished floor such as
wood flooring. Rugs may be temporarily attached either to the flooring below by adhesive
tape or to other methods to prevent creep, or may be loose-laid.
The appeal of soft floor-coverings is their warmth and quiet. As well as conventional
carpets and rugs, soft flooring includes „natural‟ floorings made from a variety of grasses
and vegetable fibres.
