Styles

Plush: Plush carpets are yarn ends that are cut and all one height.

Saxony: Saxony has a very fine, even finish.

Texture: The tips of a textured plush are cut at different angles to diffuse the light and helps to hide footprints and traffic marks.

Berber: All looped carpet that are larger than normal in size. This creates a ‘sweater’ type look, which is very cozy.

Level Loop: Used mainly in office areas this type of construction wears very well and comes in many different designs.

Cut Pile Berber: An anomaly in terms – this is a carpet that has the nubby appearance of a berber without the loops.

Sisal: The word sisal is actually a description of a fiber. However, true sisal is made in very few styles. It is similar to a jute with a straw type look to it. An all natural product with a very unique look, sisal carpet is recommended for low traffic areas where no seams are required. Since the look is so great, however, many carpet manufacturers are now making wool, nylon and poly fibers into sisal looking weaves that are durable and attractive.

LCL: Loop Cut Loop carpet is just what it sounds like. Some of the tufts are looped, some are cut. This allows the manufacturer to create a plethora of designs just by changing the computer chip in the tufting machine.

Woven: When durability is the number one concern, nothing outwears a woven carpet. Add wool fiber into the mix and nothing is better. When only the best will do woven is your choice. Most area rugs are woven.

Tufted: The average tufted carpet has 10 stitches per inch. It varies depending on the look the manufacturer wants to obtain, the thickness of the yarn and other factors. But at 10 stitches per inch, the carpet is tufted on a machine 12’ wide with 1,440 needles all going into the backing at the same time in a straight row. The yarn is then caught on the other side of the carpet backing by a hook which either pulls it to the correct length (like in a berber) or a hook that cuts the loop into a ‘cut pile’ (like a plush).
