printed felt base
floor covering
Quick Summary
Printed felt base is a type of smooth-surfaced floor covering. It is created by applying a thick film of paint to felt that has been saturated with asphalt. To prevent discoloration and ensure a level surface, the felt is sealed with coatings before the paint is applied. The paint used is low in volatility and flow, dries quickly, and offers a high gloss with good durability. This material is then dried in an oven over several days. Printed felt base is available in various thicknesses and sizes, offered as rugs or rolls.12
