Weaving was the original method of carpet construction. Karastan carries on hundreds of years of woven tradition with carpets of legendary performance. Because each face yarn of a woven carpet is interlaced among three backing yarns, it offers superior structural integrity-never snagging, running, pulling or delaminating. Karastan woven carpets also act as a cushion, providing "natural springs" that deflect the force of human traffic. Over the life of an installation, Karastan woven carpet offers greater value since it retains its appearance longer.
