Loop Pile Carpets
As the name suggests, loop pile carpets consist of fibers bent into tiny loops. This style of carpet is quite durable and resistant to stains. It has a relatively low profile, making it a bit less cushioned than some other styles of carpet. There are two sub-categories called level loop and multilevel loop. Multilevel loop carpets contain a wide variety of individual loops set at different heights. This gives the carpet a more textured appearance. Level loop is sometimes also named Berber. It features small, short loops that stand up straight and do well in high-traffic areas.Cut Pile Carpets
Cut pile carpets are just what you'd expect — each loop is cut, effectively getting rid of the loops altogether. This style of carpet is generally softer and denser than your standard loop pile carpets. Cut pile carpets tend to come in a wider variety than loop pile.Some of the major varieties include:
Plush: For a more formal look, this carpet has an even, smooth texture.Cable: This style has thick and long fibers that feel great under your feet for maximum comfort.
Textured: Similar to multilevel loop, textured cut pile carpets also have rougher, more uneven textures.
Saxony: - If you're looking for more body, Saxony has longer fibers that are wound together to give it a smooth finish.
Frieze: This is one of those unique carpets that we don't recommend for areas with a lot of foot traffic. This is typically a long variety of carpet and is sometimes even known as shag carpet. Its length tends to show wear and tear more than shorter styles of carpeting in Fort Collins.
