Cut Pile Carpets

The most in-demand type of carpet to homeowners, cut pile carpet is built from loop yarns (strands) that have been sheared or cut. This only means that the fiber end is uncovered or exposed. The durability of cut pile carpet is normally determined through the type of tufts density, fiber used, and yarn twist.  

Typically, the heavier and tighter the twist is, the more durable and resilient the carpet will be. The main styles of cut pile carpets are Velvet, Textured, Plush, Saxony, Shag, Frieze, and Cable. Each style features its benefits and characteristics.

Here are some of the carpet styles that you can choose from to help you get started:

Loop Pile Carpets

This style of carpet does not include cutting the yarn tips of the manufacturing process. Instead, the carpet is made through a more continuous strand to make the loops visible. Loop yarns that have different heights can allow the manufacturer to craft diverse textures, patterns, and durability levels. 

The more twisted and tighter the loops are in making carpets, the more resistant they are to breaking easily. While loop pile carpets are considered more durable and multi-purpose carpets, this style makes it more vulnerable to pulled loops that can run through the entire carpet. Level Loop (Berber) and Multi-Level Loop (Textured or Patterned) are the main styles of loop pile carpets.
