Glossary of Green Rug & Carpeting Terms

hand_knotted_tibetan_rug_250.jpgThis alphabetical listing of sustainable rug & carpeting definitions is invaluable for those wanting to know the difference between 'silk' and 'art silk', and between 'closed loop recycling' and 'downcycling'.

Dayle compiled this list from years of college teaching interior design material finishes, and her countless hours of researching the literature and websites.  This is available to you from the resource section of this website. Glossary_of_Green_Rug_&_Carpeting_Terms - Click for link to the downloadable pdf.

For more information on rugs, you can order Dayle's educational dvd:

Hi Dayle,
I'm finding the sustainable design world to be ever-expanding. I just wanted to thank you for the glossary of terms you've provided in your newsletter.

Best wishes,
Karen
