What was the first fabric used for carpet backing?
Woven carpet formed its own backing as it was made, so there was no secondary backing
Tufting started in the 50's (pattented in the 40s) and it uses a Primary backing to tuft the yarn through & the a secondary backing is laminated to give it dimensional stablility.
In the case of Tufted carpet (96% or total production today) both the Primary & secondary was Jute (think burlap bags, HEMP!) up through the mid 60s
Today Both the primary & secondary are different weaves of Polyropylene..

How much to charge to install hardwood floors?
Labor Prices
Fees & charges change from town to town, region to region, the best ways I can suggest to find a good range is :
Run a short ad in Craigslist, that will likely get you someone hungry & maybe unlicensed so you will know the cheapest price.
Then call the local Home Depot or Lowes & ask what they charge if you buy your tile from them???
That will be the highest price in the market
Now you would have a good range & then its time to look for quality & references... a steal on tile or a great price on labor, can be VERY COSTLY if you give the job to a butcher..
My bet will be you will find someone on the low end at about $2 per sq ft & that the depot will be $6-8 bucks a foot after they do all the add ins...
Get it in writing...Never pay for it all upfront
Interior zoning is the interior design technique of creating recognizable sub spaces or zones inside of large spaces through variations in sensory input, rather than using structural isolating features such as walls, ceilings and doors. It is accomplished by the application of unique materials, lighting, surfaces, textures, elevation changes, acoustics and even smell to differentiate the subspace from the rest of the whole space.
