A long section of protective material used to protect flooring or carpet is a floor runner.
What is a carpet?
A carpet is a type of textile floor covering that normally has a backing and an upper layer of pile.
Wool was historically used to make the pile, but during the 20th century, synthetic fibers like nylon, polyester, and polypropylene are frequently employed because they are less expensive than wool.
Typically, the pile is made up of twisted tufts that have been heated to preserve their shape.
Although the terms "carpet" and "rug" are frequently used interchangeably, rugs are generally thought to be smaller than rooms and not fastened to the floor.
Carpets provide a number of functions, such as protecting a person's feet from a chilly tile or concrete floor and enhancing the comfort of a space.
