Types of carpet style

Carpets constructed of fibres are either cut, looped or cut-looped. Although there are several different subcategories of carpet styles, they all fall within one of these three groups.

In old times, as pile height increased, the carpet became softer and more luxurious but harder to clean. Nowadays, with all types of improved technology and fibre systems, most styles combine softness with durability. The more textured the carpet, the more durable it is for the feet and fingerprints, the usual dirt, and everyday wear. Here are types of carpet styles:

1. Cut pile

Cut pile achieves great durability through the type of fibre, density of tufts and the amount of twist within the yarn. The more twists, the more resilient the shape, making it suitable for high-traffic areas. Cut piles can fall into subcategories:

1.1. Plush (Velvet)

Plush tends to be classified as dense and luxurious. It’s suitable for low-traffic rooms or formal settings. However, it may show footprints and vacuum marks easily.

1.2. Textured plush

It is more decoratively adaptive. Textured surfaces help hide footprints and vacuum marks. It is a preferred style for busy households and a smart choice for simply carpeting the whole house.

1.3. Saxony

This style presents a refined surface suitable for living and dining rooms.

1.4. Frieze

Due to its highly twisted yarns, The surface of this carpet has a curly texture. This helps to reduce the appearance of footprints and vacuum marks. For high-traffic areas, this is without a doubt, a great option.

1.5. Shag

Shag is a type of Frieze. But with a very tall pile height.

1.6. Cable

This style is similar to Frieze, but with a mix of thick and thin fibres for a more varied appearance.

2. Loop pile

This style has two types: level loops and multi-level loops. Because yarn tips are not exposed, these carpets tend to be worn immensely well. This quality is great for busy areas such as hallways and family rooms.

2.1. Level loop pile

In this subcategory, the loop creates a uniform look as it is the same height. This style generally lasts a long time in high-traffic areas.

2.2. Multi-level loop pile

Multi-level loop piles often feature two to three varying loop heights which produce; visually appealing patterns and add depth to their appearance. Its durability is a direct result of this feature. If you’re on the market for a carpet style that handles heavy foot traffic, a loop pile carpet would be a great choice.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for a more luxurious feel, a plush cut pile carpet would be a much better option. Additionally, when it comes to price, carpet tiles tend to be more expensive than carpet rolls, but they offer more design flexibility and can be easier to install in the majority of spaces.
