The technical difference between mosque carpet and ordinary broadloom is the setting out. The rows are woven into the carpet, and the whole floor is laid to the qibla angle — which almost never matches the building's walls. Get that wrong and the mistake is visible at every prayer.
The second difference is wear. A prayer hall takes five congregations a day on the same lines, so the pile weight has to be specified for that, not for a living room.

Frequently asked questions
How do you set the carpet to the qibla?
We take the qibla bearing on site and set the first row to it, then work the rest of the floor off that line. The carpet almost never runs parallel to the walls, and that is correct.
What row spacing is standard?
About 120cm between rows, which suits most adult worshippers. We can supply other spacings where a hall's dimensions or the imam's preference call for it.
How is mosque carpet cleaned?
Vacuum daily and hot-water extract every six to twelve months depending on footfall. We can arrange the deep clean as a follow-up service.
