Types of Carpet
 |
Saxony Carpet
Saxonies are tightly twisted cut piles that are heatset straight. Saxonies
provide a soft texture. They are made by twisting two or more fibers together in
a yarn. Saxonies show every footprint and vacuum-cleaner mark.

Textured Saxony
Carpet
Textures are the best-selling carpets and work well in informal areas (such as
family rooms and children's bedrooms) because of its soft feel. Textures are
tightly twisted and texture heatset. They have a multi-colored look that
disguises tracks.

Velvet Carpet /
Plush Carpet
Velvets/Plushes are lightly twisted and have a uniform color. They are softer
and more level than textures. This type of carpet is ideal for formal areas
(such as formal living rooms and master bedrooms) because of its luxurious
appearance. Velvets/Plushes show every footprint and vacuum-cleaner mark.

Frieze Carpet
Frieze is a highly twisted cut pile carpet suited for high traffic areas. It has
short fibers that tend to curl in different directions at the surface to hide
footprints and vacuum marks.

Random Sheared
Carpet
Cut and Loop Pile
Cut and loop pile combines cut and looped fibers. It provides a variety of
surface textures or sculptured effects. Cut and loop pile carpets are available
in solid or multiple colors. The different levels in this type of carpet can
hide dirt and footprints.

 |
Multi-Level Loop
Carpet
Multi-level loop pile carpet is like level loop pile except that the loop
heights vary (usually two to three different loop heights). This carpet creates
an appearance of random texture. This type of carpet is good for high traffic
areas but the smaller loops can sometimes hold more dirt.
|
 |
Level Loop Carpet
Level loop pile is made by weaving even loops of yarn into carpet backing at
both ends. This type of carpet is very strong and track resistance because of
its strong loops. Higher loops create a more luxurious appearance. Level loop
piles with short and densely packed loops are easy to clean. They prevent dirt
from filtering into carpet. This type of carpet is ideal for high traffic areas.
|
Footprint-Free Carpet
Usually plush carpet, low cut pile
that leaves no footprint marks or vacuum cleaner marks.
Sculptured
Tone-on-tone raised impressions in the carpet, i.e., plush flowers on a loop
pile background.
Patterned
Floral, lattice, plaid - all one
type of carpet, usually on either plush, or low cut pile carpets.
Multi-Tone
Speckled, with lines or plaids.
Comes in Berber, Loop pile, or Cut Pile.
Needlepoint
Usually wool, a fine carpet that can
have many colors, patterns, sculptured or plain, and looks woven.
Berber
Berbers are increasing in popularity
faster than any other type of carpet. Berbers limit footprints and vacuum
tracks. Berbers can have thicker yarns than other level loop pile carpets. These
loops can retain dirt and may be damaged from snags. Berbers come in expensive
wool fibers or less expensive nylon, olefin, or nylon-olefin fibers.
