Before cleaning your carpet, it’s essential to know its carpet types and materials. Carpets are still widely used in bedrooms, home offices, children’s play areas, stairs, and basements. They make an excellent flooring choice for these spaces, offering comfort and versatility.

Although the carpet can make a difference in your home, you must choose a quality carpet that perfectly fits your home’s surroundings. Additionally, the carpet should have a durable construction and a rich, vibrant colour. Knowing how to properly maintain your carpet is also essential for keeping it in good condition. 

The following information will help you select the best carpet type that suits your needs and create the look you are after.

Cut Pile Carpeting

Cut pile carpet types from cutting the yarn loops, which produces an upright pile with a more luxurious, formal look than a loop pile. There are various types of cut pile carpets shown below:

  • Frieze – A luxurious feel and a stylish, less formal, almost shaggy appearance.
  • Saxony –  A smooth and luxurious-looking finish. Indeed, it is similar to the plush pile but with a higher pile height and a little more twist in the yarn.
  • Velvet/Plush – A soft velvet appearance and upright finish make for a formal look.

Cut and Loop Pile Carpeting

These carpet types contain cut and loop fibres. Indeed, loops of yarn create a stylish finish with a soft, smooth feel.

Berber Carpeting

Berber carpets are well-known level loop pile carpets. Thicker than usual loops of yarn.

A distinct texture loop finishes from a simple loop. It does not show footprints.

Multi-Level Loop Pile

The pile is in a random or sequence design to create textures or patterns.

Sisal Carpeting Carpet Types

It comes in a variety of patterns and textures.

Tufted Carpeting

These carpets may consist of a cut pile, loop pile, or both—the yarns in dye or print with style. Furthermore, tufted rugs can be quite economical and are commonly at the lower end of the market.
