摘要

A floor-covering article has an upper layer with yarns that extend through a primary backing and are at least partially secured to the primary backing by polymeric material, wherein the yarns define an exterior upper surface of the article; an intermediate layer connected to the upper layer; and a secondary backing connected to the intermediate layer so that the intermediate layer is positioned between the upper layer and the secondary backing. The article includes cut peripheral side edges. The length and/or width of the article can be at least about 3 feet. At least one of the peripheral side edges of the secondary backing can define an upright, outwardly-oriented side face extending obliquely to the bottom surface of the secondary backing.
