Carpeting
The introduction of tack strip, "tackless strip", "gripper strip", or "Smoothedge" simplified the installation of wall-to-wall carpeting, increasing the neatness of the finish at the wall. Because gripper strips are essentially the same thickness as underlay, using gripper strips yields a level edge, whereas tacking gives an uneven edge.
carpeting
In the early twentieth century, a new manufacturing method called "tufting" revolutionized the carpeting industry.[4]Invented in Dalton (GA),[5] it quickly replaced the traditional method of weaving. The pile yarns are stitched through a textile backing and coated on the underside of the coating.From 1930, the mechanization of tufting favored its development. It now represents 51% of total production while it amounted to only 10% in the 1950s.[5]

Better carpeting plants for beginners (and just as beautiful) would be the Marsilea species (hirsuta or crenata are good choices) or Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo' (Micranthemum Tweediei). The former are tiny freshwater ferns that resemble little individual leaflets (or occasionally, 4-leaf clovers). The latter, my personal favorite, is very similar to HC, but has slightly bigger leaves and a much more robust growth habit. Both will grow extremely quickly with CO2, and will still form a carpet (albeit more slowly) even without CO2. In my experience, Monte Carlo will have smaller leaves when grown in a low-tech (non-CO2) environment.
Excellent article! I look forward to trying Buce Plant cultures and trying out the Ultum Nature Systems soils you recommended.I think the biggest game changer in my planted tanks has been aggressively trimming back dead or weak tissue to allow fresh growth. Monte Carlo is my favorite plant to gift newer hobbyists that are apprehensive about carpeting plants! Happy tanking!

Methods: Epidemiologic and microbiologic studies were conducted in a community-teaching hospital complex to assess the impact of carpeting in patient rooms on environmental contamination with C. difficile, along with the prevalence of pseudomembranous enterocolitis. All C. difficile isolates were typed by means of a bacteriophage-bacteriocin typing scheme.
Conclusion: There was no evidence that contamination of carpeting resulted in increased frequency of pseudomembranous enterocolitis in patients residing in carpeted rooms. Because there is strong evidence of exogenous acquisition of C. difficile during outbreaks, however, room carpeting should be considered a potential reservoir of this organism.

Hardwood floors remain popular among homebuyers, which seems to leave little room for beige polyester plush. However, carpeting still gives consumers a warm, fuzzy feeling, accounting for 48% of the total flooring market in the United States.
It also feels toasty in colder climates, and depending on the finish, it can be luxurious as well. Designers often use wall-to-wall carpeting in smaller spaces such as bedrooms for this reason, Architectural Digest notes.
All carpeting, even those varieties with natural fibers such as sisal and wool, is manufactured the same way. The fibers are bundled together, twisted into a yarn, and then sewn into backing. Generally, the denser the fibers are, the better the carpeting will perform under daily use, the WFCA says. The longer the height of the pile, the more likely the carpeting will show foot traffic or furniture marks.

Durability - Quality carpets with the right care can last for many years.
Variety - With its large selection of colors, textures and patterns, carpeting can be tailored to complement any decor.
Safety - As a non-slick surface, carpet flooring puts safety first.

Material. The most common carpeting is made of nylon. It's comfortable, durable, and stain resistant. Other options include wool, polyester, and olefin, each with unique characteristics.
Color and style: Dark colored carpet can add intimacy to a room, but they can also show every piece of lint attracted to the floor. Lighter colors can brighten a room, but can also soil easily. From berber to plush, the color and style combinations of carpet flooring seem endless.
Quality: Like most investments for your home, carpet flooring comes in a variety of grades - and you often get what you pay for. Lower cost carpets may need to be replaced sooner, so the overall investment won't pay off.
