What Are the Different Carpet Types I Should Consider When Buying a New Carpet?
|
|
I always find that it helps to understand all the options of any product before making a decision on a purchase. This rule applies for buying carpets as there are a number of different varieties, textures and types which need to be understood and considered before laying out a substantial cost for possibly the wrong type of carpet.
This article will hopefully give you an insight in to the different types of carpets and maybe help in the decision making process as to which carpet will be best for you to use.
CutPile:
Cut pile carpet is often known as a "velvet" or "velor" pile and brings a regal and classy look to a room giving it palatial feel. It is easily identifiable as the top of the wool loops are cut and the yarn is twisted to produce tufts that stand up straight giving an even and smooth surface.
Hard Twist:
Hard twist is very similar to cut pile but has a greater twisted yarn which makes it more hardwearing and minimises the tracking of footprints and shading. Hard twist is one of the most popular carpets on the market today.
Shag Pile:
Shag Pile is another variant of cut pile but has longer tufts of yarn which has been twisted less which gives the carpet a much more luxurious feel to it. Shag Pile carpets are generally more expensive as they are considered to look and feel better than other types.
Wool or Sisal Pile:
Wool or Sisal Pile carpets and rugs are increasingly popular as they look stylish and raw looking. They are created through wool or sisal being woven in to a pattern which creates a very durable surface which can be easily cleaned.
Level Loop Pile:
Level Loop Pile carpet is formed with loops of yarn all of the same length which creates a hard wearing durable carpet. As it is hard wearing this type of carpet minimises tracking of footprints and shading.
Pay Weekly :
Level Loop Pile carpet is formed with loops of yarn all varying lengths which creates a hard wearing durable carpet but leaves a more sculptured look and feel to it. As it is hard wearing this type of carpet once again minimises tracking of footprints and shading.
