A low-stretch and dimensionally stable floor covering comprising polymer-containing pile material which is retained to a polymer-containing primary backing, to the back of which an underlying secondary backing layer is retained by means of an interleafing adhesive layer. The secondary backing layer comprises a needled fibre structure of thermoplastic, polymer containing, continuous or staple fibres being inter-fixated by heating. The adhesive layer comprises an organic, polymer-containing binder which is activated by heat application. According to the invention, at least the secondary backing layer and/or the binder layer comprise a substantially re-usable material. After being formed, the carpet is wound onto so-called broadloom rollers and can, if desired, be cut partially into carpet tiles. Thus, carpet tiles and broadloom carpets can be manufactured in the same production process. |
