<p>A novel carpet construction provides a secondary backing layer (16) adhered to the primary backing layer (12) in which the carpet pile (14) is secured. The secondary backing layer (16) incorporates a layer of downwardly depending loops (18) which can serve as a resilient undersurface, in the manner of an underpad, and also to secure the laminated carpet structure to the floor. A hooked tape construction used in combination with the subject carpet (10) has a plurality of upwardly extending hooks to engage the looped layer of the carpet, and an adherent under surface, for making adhesive contact with the floor surface. The carpet construction can include a foam interlayer sandwiched between the primary and the secondary backing layers (12, 16). The hooked tape can be laid as a perimeter attachment surface, or in intermediate locations also.</p> |
