Cut Pile Plush Carpet

Cut pile carpets are achieved by cutting the tops of the loops so the pile stands upright with an even smooth surface. The yarn is constructed with a slight twist, which has been chemically or heat set. This creates a carpet with a very soft, luxurious look. Plush pile carpet has a tendency to display temporary shading from footprints and vacuuming. This is regarded as a characteristic of this style, but has no detrimental effect on the performance of the carpet.

Cut Pile Twist Carpet

Cut pile twist carpets are constructed with a higher twisted yarn causing the pile to lay in different directions, giving a more textured appearance. Twist pile carpets are hard wearing and maintain their finish. Because they have a more textured finish, they are also less likely to show traces of shading or tracking within the pile.

Loop Pile Carpet

A looped carpet is where the carpet pile forms a loop. The yarn is threaded through the backing then sewn back through creating a loop of yarn. There are several types of loop pile carpets. Loop pile carpets are hard wearing, durable and do not have a tendency to show tracking (footprints) as often as other carpet types.
