What Types of Carpet Are There?

Of all the flooring options, carpet is one of the most multifaceted options. The reason for this is the diverse textures, colors, and materials available.

Loop pile, combination pile, and cut pile are the most common and popular carpet types available. Each type of carpet and carpet fiber offers a unique array of features and advantages.

• Nylon is one of the most popular carpet fibers. It is visually appealing and stain-resistant, so it performs well and looks great.
• Polyester is an excellent alternative to nylon, because of its durability, though it is not as tough as nylon.
• Olefin carpets are known for their ability to make beautiful, patterned carpets. These carpets are best for low-traffic areas like formal dining and living rooms.
• Triexta is naturally stain-resistant and can be considered a fiber like nylon. Often triexta can be cleaned with just water.
• Wool is a natural fiber that is incredibly soft and fire-resistant. It must be taken care of professionally to stay looking its best.

Carpet texture is determined by how the carpet is attached to its backing. Each type of texture has unique features and benefits.

• Cut-pile carpet is constructed by attaching fibers to the backing and then cutting them. What is exposed on the top where the cut is made is the fiber that the carpet is of. Cut-pile carpet can vary in both height and twist.
• Loop carpet is created by looping fibers and then attaching them to the carpet backing. There are no cuts made with loop carpet.
• Cut-loop carpet is a combination of cut and loop carpets on the same backing. Because the performance level of cut-loop carpet can vary, it’s best for low-traffic areas.

Where Can I Install Carpet?

Carpet remains off-limits in the kitchen and bathroom, but it’s easy to outfit the rest of your home with smart, stunning carpet.

There are now carpet selections aimed at tackling all types of common household challenges:  even carpets designed to cohabitate with pets and small children!

Take a careful inventory of your space, its activity levels, and its sun exposure to arrive at the decisions. Resilient carpet varieties are designed to prevent sun fading, stains, or moisture damage. Heavy foot traffic can be combatted by choosing sturdier weaves, including Berber-style carpet.
