Types of Carpet
Loop:
Ideal for high-traffic rooms
Woven carpets with uncut loops for a continuous surface that hides footprints, doesn’t show dirt and is easy to vacuum.
Level loop pile: Casual looks for high-traffic, high-activity spaces that need long-wearing options.
Berber: Thick, bulky yarns, traditionally with flecks of color on a pale background.
Cut pile:
Versatile, comfortable and popular
Woven carpets with cut loops that form tufts for a soft, dense look. Yarn density and twist produce cut-pile carpet texture.
Level cut pile: Fiber, tuft density and yarn twist combine for durability. The greater the twist, the longer it holds its shape.
Saxony: Heat-straightened twisted fibers create a soft texture and formal look. Best in low-traffic rooms to avoid foot and vacuum marks.
Texture:
New designs and a contemporary feel
Lightly twisted cut-pile yarns create a look that’s as durable as it is distinctive. Mixed yarn shades highlight the twists and bends.
Friezé: Tightly twisted yarns make for a contemporary look that thrives in high-traffic areas. Less likely to show foot and vacuum marks than other cut pile types.
Shag: Yarn thickness and textures make this resurgent favorite a bold statement.
Pattern:
Creative looks for something different
This category ranges from casual to formal. Some patterns use varied yarn lengths or cut styles. Others mix colors and designs.
Cut and loop: The combination of cut and uncut loops creates solid and multi-color patterns, including geometrics.
Patterned loop: High and low pile loops – and sometimes various yarn shades – mix to form distinctive designs.
