Abstract:
As the living standard of mankind improves, the
desire to improve its own living environment also
rapidly increases. Particularly, an increase in
westernized apartment houses as well as mansions
stimulates the demand for proper interior materials.
Floor coverings are foremost among them.
However, such floor coverings must have characteristics
and function matching uses and purpose of
customers. In other words, a floor covering should be
resistant to tear and wear and durable not to be easily
damaged or deformed in its long use. Changes in the
quality of a floor covering due to such external factors
as water, chemicals and rays of the sun, depending
upon the condition of its use, should be minimized.
