Carpet Styles
While carpet is categorized by construction, it can also be broken down by style and appearance. Hover over the four samples below for more information.
-
Cut & Loop
This style combines high-cut tufts and lower loops in a variety of sculptured patterns. Cut-loop carpets offer good performance, but are slightly less durable than loop carpets.
-
Frieze
Frieze, also known as twist, has a crimped look at a relaxed feel. Its long, twisted strands create dimension while adding visual interest and a slight "bounce" underfoot.
-
Loop
Loop pile results in a clean, low-profile look that handles foot traffic well. This style is common in homes, hotels, and offices alike.
-
Pattern
Patterned carpet often results from cut and loop pile construction. As the name implies, it can vary in appearance, often displaying dramatic and bold designs. As a bonus, it handles traffic well.
