How your carpet is constructed will play a major role in how it will behave on a daily basis within your home. While there are many styles of carpet available (Saxony, plush, and so on), most fabrics rely on the following methods for creating amazing products:

Cut Pile

This popular style relies on dense tufts and numerous twists in the yarn to promote high levels of durability. During construction, thousands of strands of yarn are sewn onto a backing to create rugs and carpeting. When these loops are cut, cut pile carpet is the result. This construction design allows for a wide range of styles for consumers to choose from.

• Textured. This best-selling option features tightly twisted yarns to provide adequate durability for every room in the house. Textured carpet will hold its shape, hiding footsteps in addition to dirt and grime.
• Frieze. Homeowners seeking a curled appearance with their carpets can benefit from frieze carpeting. This unique style features several twists per every inch of yarn, creating swirls that work to hide footprints, vacuum marks, and dirt. Frieze is a great option for busy homes, but remember that its long-stringed construction will result in drawbacks in durability. Materials with longer strands are often referred to as “shag” carpeting.
• Plush. Also known as velvet carpeting, this choice focuses on luxury and density to maximize comfort and aesthetics. The biggest trade off for those luxurious footsteps is the fact that your product will not hold up as well in high-traffic areas. Plush carpets also do not cover stains and footsteps as effectively, making regular care a top priority.
• Saxony. This style is cut to create a smooth, even finish. Saxony carpets are often confused for plush varieties due to their dense and soft construction. Overall, Saxony provides a quality mixture of benefits and drawbacks that help to make this style a top choice in homes nationwide.
