A power loom is electrically automated and controlled by computers. Machine made rugs can be made quickly and are manufactured with materials including wool and synthetic fibers such as polypropylene, nylon, polyester, acrylic and art silk.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.igotyourrug.com/rugs/rugs-type/machine-made-rugs/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.igotyourrug.com/rugs/rugs-type/machine-made-rugs/" rel="nofollow">Machine made rugs</a> can offer a lower price alternative to hand knotted rugs. Machine made rugs usually have a life span between 5 to 20 years, depending on the quality and fiber used. For example a high quality machine made wool rug can last for decades if it is well maintained. Machine made rugs are generally not of any value to a collector.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]49072[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.igotyourrug.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/81038-7.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.igotyourrug.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/81038-7.jpg" rel="nofollow">Click to Enlarge</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Back of a machine made rug.

A handknotted quality 8′ x 10′ hand knotted rug might take anywhere from 7 to 14 months, while the same size rug made in a machine-made method might take one day.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although machine-made rugs can be just as beautiful as hand knotted rugs, they typically are not of value to a rug collector or someone who is looking to buy an Oriental rug as an investment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
