A method for producing a shaped carpet (e.g. for use in motor vehicles) is performed by mixing a thermoplastic binder (32, figure 3) with fibers (34, figure 3) to provide a web (36, figure 3) that is needle punched to reorient the fibers and then heated to bond the fibers by the binder and provide a felt layer (22) that is hot formed with a carpet layer (24) and has sufficient rigidity to maintain shape without deformation. <IMAGE> |
