All You Need to Know about Carpets and their Styles

Carpets are one of the highly demanded accessories nowadays. Especially in countries with extreme cold weather carpets are one of the essential items for homes. Carpets are soft and warm and feel good under your feet. Marble and wooden flooring is not as comfortable and warm as carpet flooring. So people go for carpet flooring for their homes and offices.

There are many different styles of carpets available on the market and you can get the style and design according to your needs. Cut pile plush, twist, loop pile, sisal, high low loop and level loop, textured loop, hard twist, frieze or shag carpet are some of the wonderful styles of carpets to choose from. These styles differ by the way they are created.

In loop pile the pile of carpet is given a loop shape and so these carpets are more durable and hide footprints on carpet. Cut pile is also known as plush pile and in these carpets the pile is cut from the top which makes the yarn stand straight. These are quite soft and luxurious carpets. Plush or velvet carpets are highly twisted and form uniform color. Carved or sculptured pile is a mixture of cut pile and level loop. These create smooth and stylish carpets.

Cord or Sisal is a loop pile with textured loops either made in straight rows or random patterns. High low loop is also a mixture of cut and loop. They have different heights, patterns, and variations. Shag is also another type of carpet. This type has long and open tufts and is low density carpet. All these types are beautiful but not all types are suitable for all places. So before buying a certain type you should consider the place where you want it to be installed.
