Which Type of Carpeting Should I Pick?

One of the first things we do with each customer is explain the wide variety of carpeting available for your home or office. Modern carpeting is so varied in its different textures, colors, materials, and designs that there are a variety of applications. The manufacturing process for this carpet is the source of its name, as long lengths of yarn are used and then cut to create a plush surface.

If you are limiting your shopping to cut pile options, you still have at least five basic styles of this staple from which you can choose. These include:

• Saxony: Due to the heat set used to make this carpet, it retains a tuft appearance that provides durable use.
• Frieze: The strongly twisted tufts and a unique surface curl make this carpet ideal where there are concerns over matting.
• Velvet: The process used to provide this soft, cushiony surface avoids using twists and any heat setting.
• Cable: Carpets made using the cable technique use thick yarn to provide durable use and an informal appearance.
• Shag: Long lengths of yarn are customary with this carpet style, and this makes it susceptible to matting and crushing.

Carpeting for the 9 to 5

Two types of carpeting are designed to manage heavier traffic using a loop pile manufacturing technique.

• Level Loop carpet flooring gets its name from the use of loops created to maintain a level height.
• Multi-Loop Pile provides the same durable use but utilizes loops of varying lengths to create a pattern effect.

You will also find carpeting styles called combination pile because of their use of features from both cut and loop carpet techniques. Three of the popular versions of this carpeting include:

• Random Shear, creating a unique and pleasant texture with cut and uncut loops
• Tip shear, avoiding the high texture of random shear
• Level and Cut Loop Pile, using loop and cut piles
• Installing Your Carpeting

Modern carpeting can be installed anywhere. It is meant to oversee moderate activities and is easily enjoyed in active spots like kids’ playrooms, staircases, and hallways. Choose lusher, plusher versions in bedrooms and living rooms. Carpeting isn’t a typical choice for bathrooms and kitchens.
