* 2.Hybrid back (R) *
“Hybrid Back (R)” is a rolled carpet backing material that is made of a non-woven fabric woven into a net that can be laid down. Compared to jute (hemp), the main backing material for conventional roll carpets, it is less likely to damage the base, so it is suitable not only for installing it in an entire room, but also as a partial rug. This product can be made in a shape and size that suits each room, so it can be used in a wider range of situations. Carpet has the ability to reduce noise from downstairs and absorb the impact of falls, making it suitable for homes with small children. Furthermore, it has a sound absorption effect and reduces glare by suppressing light reflection, so it is recommended for quiet spaces such as study rooms where you can concentrate.
Hybrid back (R) (back side)
Can be made in your desired shape and size to match the interior image of your room.
