Carpet typically fits into six main style categories resulting in an endless array of home styling options. Selecting the right style for your room may depend on your décor style, volume of traffic in the room and the room itself. Today, the choices are almost limitless within each style – be sure to research, touch & feel before investing in a wall-to-wall carpet and remember to have fun decorating your home!
Saxony/Plush: A dense level-cut pile with tall pile heights and closely packed tufts. The result is a smooth, soft surface and works well in a traditional décor in a master bedroom, dining room or formal living room.
Cut Pile Texture: A dense level-cut pile that has more twists than the saxony or plush that creates a multi-coloured look. Cut pile texture is great for hiding footprints and is popular for any room in the home.
Cut & Loop: Combines cut tufts with lower loop tufts to create a large variety of textures and patterns. Cut and loop styles add character to a floor with soft botanical or contemporary geometric patterns.
Level-Loop (also known as berber): The level loop carpet is constructed using simple loops of equal height and its durable nature is suitable for high-traffic areas and informal rooms.
Multi-Level Loop: A loop pile with two or three levels of tufts forming a random sculptured surface that is suitable for casual and active rooms in the home.
Frieze: A type of textured carpet with very high, tightly twisted tufts that curl at the pile surface. Frieze is excellent for high traffic areas and family living spaces.
