The science-based source for the facts on carpet and rugs
Based in Dalton, Georgia, the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) is a nonprofit trade association representing
the manufacturers of more than 95 percent of all carpet made in the United States, as well as their suppliers
and service providers. We coordinate with other segments of the industry, such as distributors, retailers and
installers, to help increase consumers’ satisfaction with carpet and to show them how carpet creates a better
environment.
Policy is determined by a board of directors composed of chief executive officers from member companies
and is implemented by a full-time professional staff. Additional member company personnel provide time
and expertise to more than 40 committees and subcommittees. The wide range of assembled information
provides a focal point for issue discussion and a voice for the industry. The overall fields of interest are
technical services, member services, governmental and consumer affairs, and public relations. CRI
membership and staff are intensely involved in facilitating cooperative solutions to all industry challenges.
Easy access to research data
CRI is a source of extensive carpet information for consumers, writers, interior designers, specifiers, facility
managers, architects, builders, building owners and managers, installation contractors and retailers. Since
there is so much information about carpet available, CRI wants you to have the right information. That’s why
CRI continually conducts primary research and gathers data from other sources to help you make the right
decisions based on the facts.
Materials, some items free of charge and some for a small charge, on all of the following topics are available:
