Cotton Backing Mesh – Extra Support for Your Rugs
The cotton backing mesh is an additional reinforcing layer applied to the back of the rug at the end of the tufting process. This material enhances the rug’s durability, stability, and helps prevent premature fiber loosening or shedding.
Why is cotton backing mesh useful?
Extra reinforcement – Keeps the fibers securely in place, especially for high-traffic rugs.
Better shape retention – Prevents warping and curling edges over time.
Improved durability – Works with the adhesive layer to provide extra protection, extending the rug’s lifespan.
Professional finish – Creates a smoother, more even back for a polished and comfortable rug.
Eco-friendly – Cotton is biodegradable and leaves a smaller environmental footprint.
Flexible and adaptable – The soft, easy-to-shape cotton mesh follows the rug’s natural movement.
Superior adhesive bonding – Cotton fibers absorb latex or other adhesives, ensuring a stronger hold.
How to use it?
- Mesh placement – Lay the cotton mesh onto the finished rug.
- Adhesive application – Evenly coat the back of the rug with adhesive, making sure the mesh stays smooth and wrinkle-free.
- Drying – Allow it to fully dry to ensure proper adhesion.
- Final layer – A felt or additional backing layer can be added for extra comfort.
When should you use it?
- For large, high-traffic rugs (e.g., floor rugs that need extra strength).
- For long-pile or densely tufted rugs, where fibers are more prone to movement.
- For businesses and professional rug-making, where durability and high-quality results are key.
The cotton backing mesh is a valuable addition to tufted rug-making, ensuring long-term stability and a premium-quality finish.
Price is for 2 square meters.
