A mosque carpet with prayer lines needs final approval of a drawing showing room dimensions, qibla direction, row layout and your chosen design. The drawing should also identify separate areas, joins, colours and the version you are approving.
Kalida Carpet manufactures mosque carpets in Demirci, Manisa, Türkiye, and exports to 59 countries. Fitting is possible for projects in England. Fitting is not included in the carpet price and is calculated separately when requested.
What should the plan for a mosque carpet with prayer lines show?
The plan for a mosque carpet with prayer lines should show the room's shape, wall dimensions and a clear qibla arrow. Kalida provides prayer row layout planning based on the mosque's dimensions and architecture.
The drawing needs the room name, walls, recesses, columns and door openings, with wall dimensions for each recess. For example, a side recess should show how the proposed pattern continues into that space.
The qibla arrow should stand out from the wall outlines and match the direction confirmed for your project. The direction of prayer may not run parallel to the building's walls. Prayer lines on the drawing should follow that confirmed direction.
Dimensions need a stated unit, such as m or cm. For example, 4.00 m and 400 cm describe the same length. The unit used throughout the plan should be clear.
Your measured plan and approval drawing should show the same room shape, wall lengths and direction mark. The mosque carpet measuring guide explains how to prepare those dimensions.
How should row spacing and carpet joins appear?
Row spacing, carpet width direction and join positions should each have their own dimensions or marks on the drawing. Kalida's technical information lists 4.00 m manufactured width and a three-row layout with 1.33 m prayer row depth.
The 1.33 m dimension describes the depth of a row from front to back. Your drawing should state the selected row spacing. Width direction, width boundaries and join numbers belong on the plan.
A drawing key should distinguish joins from prayer lines, so you recognise carpet width boundaries separately from the pattern.
Mosque carpet lines should continue across neighbouring widths at the same alignment. For example, a prayer line starting at different positions on either side of a join needs correction on the drawing before approval.
Width direction, join positions and join numbers belong on your room's own plan. Kalida's three-row manufacturing layout does not define one row spacing for every mosque. The prayer row layout guide covers choosing the pattern and row design.
Where should the mihrab, minbar and entrance appear?
The mihrab, space in front of the minbar and entrance should appear with their own names and boundaries. Any gallery or additional prayer area should also have a separate name on the drawing.
The minbar's footprint should be distinct from the carpeted area in front of it. The drawing should show where the mihrab area's pattern starts and ends. A different design in that area needs its own pattern name.
For example, if the gallery and main hall use different designs, each area's name should appear beside its chosen pattern. Doorways and connecting openings should also show where a pattern continues.
The entrance should identify the side facing the shoe area and show the door opening. The carpet edge should define the boundary with the shoe area. Names for a nearby ablution area and access route should identify which entrance the drawing depicts.
How do you approve the pattern and colour names?
Pattern and colour approval requires the drawing's quality, pattern and colour details to identify the same product as your selected sample. Any product code supplied by the manufacturer belongs on the drawing too.
Kalida's mosque carpet material options are 100% pure wool or 80% wool and 20% polyamide. The drawing should identify your chosen quality name and material composition alongside the pattern name.
Pattern names are proper names and remain unchanged in Turkish and English drawings. The colour description and any manufacturer's colour code should also match the sample details.
Kalida's quality samples are free of charge; bespoke production samples are chargeable. Viewing the sample under your mosque's lighting lets you see its colour alongside the walls and other finishes.
For example, if the sample's colour description differs from the drawing's wording, the production selection needs agreement before approval. The final drawing should carry the quality, pattern and colour accepted by your mosque committee.
Who should approve the final plan and record its version?
Your mosque committee's chosen representative should approve the final plan, recording their name, the approval date and drawing version number. The drawing's issue date belongs in a separate field in the same record.
A version number distinguishes a revised drawing from an earlier draft. For example, a drawing with a changed entrance pattern carries the label “Version 2”. The approval record should identify that version and its date.
Separate drawing and approval dates identify which drawing your committee accepted and when. The approver's name belongs beside the accepted version.
The final file should contain dimensions, direction, joins, separate areas and the selected product details. Any outstanding colour or direction question needs an answer beside the relevant drawing area. The approver should keep a copy of the accepted drawing.
Use the final drawing's version number and date when giving approval. Share your measured plan and preferred design with Kalida to discuss the layout and quotation.
Frequently asked questions
Does a mosque carpet plan need a qibla arrow?
A qibla arrow shows the direction of prayer separately from the room's walls. The qibla direction may not run parallel to the building's walls. The approval drawing should show the direction confirmed for the project.
What manufactured width and prayer row layout does Kalida use?
Kalida's technical information lists 4.00 m manufactured width and a three-row layout with 1.33 m prayer row depth. Width direction, join positions and join numbers belong on the project plan.
Should the colour sample be reviewed before plan approval?
A colour sample lets you review the planned selection in the actual material. Kalida's quality samples are free of charge; bespoke production samples are chargeable. The drawing's pattern and colour details should describe the same product as your selected sample.
Does approving a plan include fitting in England?
Plan approval records the accepted drawing version and product selections. Fitting is possible for projects in England, is not included in the carpet price and is calculated as a separate item when requested.
