Our carpet options are divided into three areas plus optional carpet to cover the fuel pump enclosure on fuel injected planes. These areas are "Front carpet", "Seating area carpet", and "Baggage carpet" (please see pictures and diagrams below).

All of our carpet pieces are backed with a continuous velcro loop material to allow them to be easily secured with velcro hook. All edges are finished with serging. All of our carpets are treated and tested to comply with FAA flammability requirements on a lot by lot basis. All lab reports are on file.
The front carpet comes with closed cell foam pieces to fill in the areas between the floor stiffeners. These pieces have velcro loop on the bottom, and velcro hook on the top. This allows them to be held securely in place (). This is important for the floor carpet because otherwise the carpet will be pushed forward against the firewall and permenately wrinkled. The front carpet piece also includes heel pads to protect the carpet.
Some customers make an access door in the floor of the baggage area. If this is the case, we can make a removable panel in the baggage area carpet that is held in place with velcro. We make the opening 1" larger than the access door on each side.
