Did you know that to create carpet, a backing material is ‘sewn’ with thousands upon thousands of yarn loops? These loops are then either cut – resulting in “cut pile” or “plush” carpeting – or uncut – a style simply known as “loop” carpeting. Loop Styles When the yarn loops of a carpet are left uncut, their heights can either be uniform or varied. A carpet with varying yarn loop heights is referred to as a ‘patterned loop carpet’. Patterned loop carpeting provides a complex visual texture that is appealing for areas where flooring patterns aren’t a distraction, like hallways, dens and common areas. If the heights of yarn loops are kept uniform, the result is a Level Loop carpet, also known as a Berber style carpet. Berber style carpeting is ideal for high-traffic areas, as the texture is smoother, denser and doesn’t mat as easily. Cut Pile Styles Cut pile carpeting is generally referred to as plush or saxony carpeting. A third type of cut pile carpeting is known as ‘Frieze’, which refers to twisted cut yarn loops. Frieze carpeting has a less formal look and has more utility than other carpeting types while still maintaining an attractive look and feel. Choosing cut pile carpeting is a good idea when you’re not trying to make a statement with your carpeting choice. If your goal is to have a functional, no-nonsense carpet that stands up to daily use and abuse, cut pile might be the best choice for you.
