Construction Options
There are a few kinds of construction options available when choosing the right carpet. The first is called a cut pile. Cut pile construction is durable because of the way the fiber is built up. It’s perfect for highly trafficked areas.
Loop pile is another type of construction. Loop piles create a uniform look that can also hold up well in high-traffic areas and can come in multi-level loop fashions.
Lastly, there is the cut-loop pile, which combines cut and looped yarns. This allows a variety of surface textures and effects like chevrons, swirls, or squares. The cut-loop pile is rather effective at hiding stains and soil, so it can be good for locations near the outdoors or prone to stains. And naturally, carpets come in just about any color you can dream of. If you want to learn more about choosing the right carpet for your space then please call us at 1-800-526-7847!
