The Different Types of Carpet Pile Finishes used in Interior Design and Decorating
Carpet Pile
Now that we know about the fibers that make up the yarn, and the construction method, we can review the types of carpet, their properties and performance.
The three main types of pile are cut pile, looped pile or a combination of both.
Cut and Looped Pile
A cut and looped pile has a sculptural appearance, by cutting some loops and not others, they can be all the same height or some at a lower level.
Pile needs to be resilient and have sufficient pile density, as it is required to take the full impact of traffic.
The fiber and yarn quality as well as the density of the pile judge the quality of carpet.
