Abstract

See full text

A fibrous faced carpet includes a nonwoven fleece fabric positioned against the carpet secondary backing. The fleece fabric is embossed to form high and low areas with the low areas extending into the secondary backing and serving to unitize the fleece fabric with the secondary backing. A layer of pressure sensitive adhesive is on the exposed outer face of the fleece fabric for releasably securing the carpet to an underlying floor. The low areas of the embossed fleece fabric serve for reducing the exposed surface area of the layer of adhesive that is available to contact the underlying floor.
