What types of carpet are available?
There are typically three types of tufted carpet: cut pile, loop pile, and cut and loop pile. In a cut pile style, the carpet loops have been cut to create individual tips. Examples of this style include plushes and textured saxonies. In a loop pile style, the carpet loops are not cut or sheared. Instead, the intact loops form the surface of the carpet. Examples include multi-level loops and berbers. In a cut and loop pile style you will see a combination of cut pile and loop pile. This type of carpet can have very distinct patterns and are great in formal areas.
