Method for manufacturing a carpet or a rug, comprising the following steps: the step (S-S) of providing a primary backing (), being a woven or non-woven layer comprising filaments () of polyethyleneterephthalate and copolymer of polyethyleneterephthalate, the coPET having a lower melting temperature than the PET and wherein said PET is available in said primary backing () in a higher amount than said coPET; the step of providing a glue layer () consisting for 50% or more out of coPET; the step of tufting yarn at least into said primary backing (); the step of activating said glue layer () at least for partially fixing said yarn () on said primary backing (). The invention also concerns carpets () and rugs that are obtained or obtainable by means of such method.

Method for manufacturing a carpet or a rug and a carpet or rug obtained thereby

A tufted carpet comprising a secondary backing which defines a volume being a parallelepiped having three pair of parallel faces, a first pair of parallel faces defining a upper surface of the secondary backing and a lower face of the tufted carpet, at least a second pair of parallel faces being inclined with respect to the first pair of parallel faces under an angle αless than 90°, preferably in the range of 10 to 87°, the angle being the smallest angle measured between the planes defining the first pair of parallel faces and second pair of parallel faces.
