There Is a Carpet That Is Perfect for Each Room

When selecting a new carpet, think function first. Ask yourself…

  • How much traffic does the room get?
  • What is the room used for?
  • Is it next to an outdoor space?
  • Does the light change during the day?

Checkout the Characteristics of Each Carpet Type

level loop pile carpet

Level Loop Pile

Many carpets are constructed with a loop pile surface. Loop carpets are marked by a continuous uncut surface that resists crushing and matting. This style wears fantastic and is well suited for casual rooms such as family room with lots of high end traffic and activity.

carpet cut pile

Cut Pile

Cut pile is probably the most popular construction. It’s durable because of the type of fiber used, the density of the tufts and the amount of twist in the yarn. Highly twisted yarn will hold its shape longer which makes it a smart choice for higher traffic areas.

saxony carpet

Saxony

Saxony is similar to velvet but it’s not quite a smooth. It has a soft texture that’s created by twisting fibers then uses heat to straighten the yarn. This style will show foot and vacuum marks. This is a good choice where you want a formal look in a room has less traffic.

Frieze Carpet

Friezé

Friezé gives a room a contemporary look while making it a smart choice for any high traffic area in your home. Tightly twisted yarns makes it a a smart choice for any active part of your home. This style is less likely to show vacuum marks or footprints.
