For Durability and Stain Resistance, Choose Loop Pile Carpet
Cut pile carpets are denser and therefore softer than loop pile. This carpet style comes in several options, including the smooth and even look of Plush. A Saxony style has longer fibers that are twisted together to give the carpet fibers more body. Uneven lengths can be used to create a rougher surface known as Textured. Frieze, commonly known as shag carpet, has long fibers that are not ideal for high traffic areas. Cable carpet features long, thick fibers that are well-cushioned and comfortable.
