The four main types of carpet are cut pile, loop pile, textured and patterned. Cut pile carpets have individual yarn tufts that stand upright for a soft feel underfoot. Loop pile carpets feature uncut loops of yarn which can be either level or multi-level to create different textures. Textured carpets have an irregular surface created by combining cut and loop piles in varying heights for a unique look. Patterned carpets feature intricate designs made from multiple colors and textures of fibers woven together in various patterns. All four types offer different levels of comfort, durability, stain resistance and style options to suit any home décor needs.
