it but also the type you prefer. After all, there are four main kinds of
carpet, namely twist pile, plush pile, textured and loop. Each one has its own
distinct looks and characteristics that you need to learn about in order to
select the right one for your specific purpose. Read our explanation of the
above carpet types in the following to further educate yourself of this
topic.
Twist Pile Carpet
Carpet that is in this category contains twisted yarns or fibres. As you shop
for this type of carpet, you will notice that there are different levels of it
ranging from low-twist to high-twist varieties. The higher the twist, the more
times that the fibres have been twisted. If you need carpet for an area that
receives a lot of traffic, this one is ideal since it does not show footprints
easily.
Plush Pile
The carpet fibres of plush pile are cut to be all the same height for a
uniform, smooth appearance. Each length of this type of carpet is made from
closely tufted strands, and this creates a dense, soft carpeting. Different
types of synthetic and wool fibres are used to create this carpet style. Often,
this style is preferred for its luxuriousness and comfort, but both these
features are dependent upon the type of fibre that the plush includes. Also,
this is a cost-effective choice.
Textured Carpet
A textured carpet is made by combining different heights of fibres together and
treating them with heat to create a pattern in it. The results of the process
is a very durable carpet that does not show footprints, dents or for that fact,
dirt depending upon the colours in the carpet. Great flooring for pets, kids
and high-traffic areas. For cleanability and stain-resistance, be certain to
choose a textured carpet made with the appropriate fibres. You can select from
wool, polyester or nylon fibres.
Loop Style
Loop carpet is made by sewing strands of yarn onto a special backing. The
result is thousands of loops. There are different variations of this style of
carpet, such as loop, tufted loop or cut and loop. It all depends on how the
loops are treated after this first process as to how manufacturers categorises their loop carpet. The downside of this style is that pets
or kids can pull the loops out, so keep this in mind when shopping for your
carpet.
