Cut Pile carpets fiber ends are cut on a level face.
- Saxony is a popular carpet of dense, level-cut pile with loops clipped to about 1/2" high. The closely packed yarns give a soft smooth surface which is perfect in formal settings. A smooth- finished saxony is sometimes referred to as plush.
- Textured is also a cut pile, but isn’t as densely tufted as a saxony. Two-toned yarn and an uneven surface gives it a casual look suited for any room. Its tight-twist construction helps resist soil, so it’s often a good choice for family rooms and kitchens.
- Frieze carpets have a short, durable, twisted pile fiber well suited for busy areas.
Loop Pile yarns are looped and fastened to the backing.
- Berber features large, uncut loops of natural-tone fibers, usually of olefin. Berber is very durable and a good choice for high-traffic areas.
- Level loop refers to tufted, uncut loops of equal height. It’s durable, and a great carpet for high traffic areas and informal rooms.
Cut & Loop offers a combination of the above, allowing more textures and patterns. Cut and loop achieves a sculptured pattern with varied levels of uncut low loops and sheared top loops. The pattern looks as if it's been cut into the carpet and usually features several tones from the same color family. The change in color helps disguise wear and soiling.
