What to know about carpet flooring styles

Well, you should first know that there's a style for every decor, lifestyle, and budget. So, if you want to see a large variety, come to our showroom when shopping for carpet in Pueblo, CO.

We know it seems pretty overwhelming, but remember that three primary styles are further broken into subcategories.

All rugs start as a looped pile

Pile refers to how the rug's yarns are attached to the backing. When they start, they are fastened to the backing as uncut loops.

These include styles like Berber and level loop. Both types are durable and great for any room that experiences high foot traffic.

Then they can become a cut pile

Primary cut piles are commonly chosen because of their durability, softness, and style. A cut pile carpet is a great middle-of-the-road rug; the yarn heights are neither very short nor long in this carpet type.

The essential cut pile has short, evenly sheared yarns and a fuzzy look. They are suitable for all foot traffic levels.

The cut pile also comes in different fiber lengths. You have long, loose fibers like the shag or medium piles like Saxony or low pile rugs. Some have twisted yarns, like frieze, or plush textures like Saxony.

What works where

Low-pile rugs are the most durable and easiest to clean, as you'll find in our carpet store. Shags are best left in low-traffic areas like the bedroom, while Saxony depends upon the texture.

Frieze is durable and works well in family rooms.

The third primary style: is cut and loop

This is as it sounds. Fibers of various lengths create patterns like fun pin dots and colorful geometrics of sculpted marble looks.
