berber
|
Loop-pile carpet tufted with thick yarn which often has random specks of color in contrast to base hue.
|
Anywhere that must endure lots of traffic, such as entryways and hallways. |
This floor covering has a rich, textured feel, while maintaining an informal, casual look. |
multilevel loop
|
Moderately textured carpet consisting of loops of several different heights. A subcategory incorporates high-cut tufts with short loops for sculptured look. |
Can take lots of abuse. For use in kids' rooms and family rooms. |
Most are treated to enhance stain resistance |
cut pile
|
Plush Saxony: a dense, level cut pile with a smooth luxurious surface. Textured Plush: curled or twisted tufts which give a textured, informal look. |
Both types are suitable for all areas of your home. Plush saxonies are used in formal settings. Textured plushes are less formal and help hide footprints and vacuum marks. |
Wide variety of looks and colors. Prices to fit any budget. A good rule of thumb - the tighter the twist level; the better the carpet will perform. |
