Carpet Style Basics

Loop Pile

Loop carpets are marked by a continuous uncut surface that resists crushing and matting. Style selection is somewhat limited, however berbers wear well and are suitable for any room. They are quite often used for commercial applications.

Cut Pile

The loops of a cut pile carpet are cut to expose the yarn ends. You'll find cut piles in a variety of styles to suit any room of your home. In general, a bright fiber will show footprints more than a mid-bright because of the difference in color between the cut ends and the side of the tuft.

Velvet Plush

The rich, luxurious surface of a velvet is ideal for rooms with little traffic such as a formal living or dining room. The bright surface shows footprints and vacuum marks easily.

Saxony

Great for less formal rooms such as family rooms or dens, but they will show footprints more easily than a textured style.

Textured

Another less formal look, great for any room. The texture helps to hide dirt and footprints.

Frieze

A good choice for any high traffic area like family rooms, foyers or kid's rooms. They show vacuum marks and footprints less than other cut styles.

Cut and Loop

Cut and Loop carpets combine these two carpet piles, usually in a sculpted pattern. Often multi-colored, they are styled for any room setting except the most formal.
