Cut Pile
Cut Pile is the most popular type of
carpeting. It is made from polyester or
nylon and the soft texture that results from
cutting the fiber loops gives a traditional
plush texture.
Berber
Berber is a carpet that leaves the loops
intact resulting in a soft, nubby surface.
It is made from olefin fiber and the color
accents in many combinations give you a
flexibility not found in solid colors.
Patterned
Patterned carpet is built with a variety of
attractive geometric designs using both cut
and closed loops.
Frieze
Frieze carpets have a longer pile which
gives it a relaxed, contemporary look. It
is very popular for bedrooms. As with
berber, many color tones are available for
your decor.
