Popular Carpet Styles:

There are three basic pile types: cut pile, loop pile and cut & loop pile. Most carpet styles are a variation of these pile types.

Saxony and Plush

Saxony carpets are usually very soft and plushy with even pile height. The fiber is a cut pile and the feel is very soft. These carpets will leave footprints.

Textured and Frieze

Textured carpet has a pile that is twisted and crimped to create a multi-toned look that hides footprints but retains a soft feel. Ideal for casual living spaces with moderate to heavy traffic. Frieze carpets are similar and are usually durable and elegant. Can be used anywhere in the home.

Cut and Loop Pile

Loop and cut piles are combined to allow for a variety of textures, sculptured effects and color combinations. Very versatile. A more casual look.

Pattern Carpet
