Picking the Best Type of Carpet for Your New Flooring Installation

Carpet Styles

• Saxony/Cut Pile – Is a popular option that offers a smooth surface and traditional look. It is a good choice for high-traffic areas including living rooms and hallways. The fibers are longer and twisted to add body.
• Plush - Plush starts out as a loop which are then cut, resulting in a nice, soft texture perfect for tired feet and toes. Plush is the most frequently chosen residential carpet. It is commonly used in rooms which are traditional or very formal, like dining rooms or family rooms and bedrooms as well.
• Frieze – Offers a modern, casual, and stylish look paired with great durability. It has long fibers and is not recommended for high-traffic areas but can be used in bedrooms, sitting rooms, and media rooms.
• Berber – Features short loops that stand up very well in high-traffic areas. It is extremely durable and can be used in recreational rooms, basements, family rooms, and workout rooms.
• Pattern or Cut & Loop/Sculptured – Combines the best qualities of both cut pile and loop pile fibers and offers a stunning visual impact. This type of carpet is good for hiding dirt or stains and is recommended for formal rooms, dining rooms and basements.
