Cut Pile Berber
Casual cut pile construction using a combination of big tufts and small tufts. This type of carpet usually contains small flecks of dark color on lighter shade background colors. Informal in construction but adds excitement to any room.

Frieze
The fiber loops are cut, then tightly twisted so the fibers appear to curl at the pile surface. This dense carpet, pronounced "free-zay", works well in high-traffic areas.

Saxony
The fiber loops are densely packed and cut at one level to create a smooth, luxurious surface. This classical style sets a traditional tone appropriate for a formal dining room or living room.

Cut-Loop
Yarns are tufted into large islands of high cut tufts and lower loop tufts to form a sculptured pattern. Suits more informal settings.

Loop
Also known as Berber style. The fiber loops are all roughly the same height. This carpet often has flecks of additional color accenting the main hue. Loop carpet is sturdy, comfortable and great for family rooms and spill-prone areas.

Texture
The fiber loops are cut then slightly twisted but not curled as much as frieze. The textured surface helps mask footprints, so it's perfect for high traffic zones and casual areas. Versatility and practicality contribute to this carpet style's popularity.
