Types of carpet

Carpet varies in both look and feel, depending on its construction. Cut pile, for instance, is the most popular type of carpet, featuring sheared fiber strands with exposed ends. It is available in a variety of lengths and thicknesses, so you'll have a range of options to choose from. The twist of these fiber strands is key—the tighter the twist, the more texture and durability your carpet has.

With loop pile, the fiber is not sheared; rather, it features tight twisted loops that resist matting and crushing while creating unique patterns and texture. When choosing loop pile, be aware of pulled loops, which can snag and damage your carpet. 

Finally comes cut and loop pile. This type seamlessly blends both sheared and looped strands for an intricate and unique look that features plenty of texture. This style is often used to create patterned looks.
