Carpet Color Correction
Since the industrial revolution and the introduction of broadloom carpet, consumers’ desire for
luxurious soft floor coverings has increased at an every accelerating rate. To fulfill the market
demand for high quality carpet at reasonable prices, manufacturers have upgraded and automated their
production processes. Unfortunately, as with any mass produced commodity, imperfections can occasionally
creep into the manufacturing processes.
In new carpet installation, some of the occasional imperfections show up as off-sidematch, banding,
steaks or other blemishes. Reinstallation has many times been the method used to correct the problems.
However, this solution is not without its own drawbacks. Additional high costs of tear-out, site preparation
and reinstalling are incurred. Further business disruption, and time delays are other issues that come into
play. Plus, there is also the possibility that reinstallation of the same carpet line will face a repeat of
the same problems. This can and does happen all too often – occassionally, multiple times on the same job.
Carpet color correction is an alternative remedial solution. Using the same mill dyes and procedures, it
extends the final manufacturing processes to on-location and is specifically tailored for each individual
situation. Extending the in-plant manufacturing processes to on-location, color correction is a final step
in the manufacturing and installation of broadloom carpet. It preserves all warrantees and guarantees years
of life and beauty for a major investment.
