Carpet Face Construction - Definitions

Two-Ply Construction

• Two strands of yarn, twisted and heat set in each carpet tuft.
• Soft texture
• Superior crush resistance
• Increased yarn weight and density

Loop Construction

• A loop at the top of the yarn tuft with no exposed yarn ends on the carpet face.
• Superior crush resistance
• Resists dirt and debris
• More rugged look

Single Construction

• A single strand of yarn in each carpet tuft looks full with a lighter weight.
• Soft velvety texture
• Similar to OEM appearance
• More consistent color

Face Weight

Carpet face weights are stated in ounces per square yard. Generally greater weights indicate level of durability, although yarn material and tufting technique will influence mat life.

Carpet Backing Construction

All Lloyd carpet mats are built with a specially engineered, multi-layer backing. Multiple layers of polypropylene mesh are used to stabilize the tuft face and provide layers for bonding liquid latex to create stiffness and moisture resistance. Lloyd's trademark TractionBac high density synthetic rubber final backing provides additional moisture protection and important skid-resistance.

Anchoring Devices

All Lloyd Mats are equipped with devices to keep them in place. If the vehicle manufacturer provides anchors in the floor, Lloyd incorporates a system compatible with the OEM device. Mats for vehicles without factory anchors come with Lloyd's easy to install mat hook fasteners.
