After weeks of deliberation you have finally come to the the conclusion that out of all the flooring options available to you carpet is the way to go. That is a good start but as you will discover when you actually begin your search for great new carpeting not only are there a myriad of color choices available but carpet also comes in several different types. It does help to understand a little about each of them when making a decision so here is a brief guide to the most popular types available.
Frieze Carpet - Pronounced "free-zay" frieze carpeting is an excellent choice for high traffic areas. It has a highly twisted cut pile that contains short fibers whose tendency to curl in different directions helps to hide footprints or marks left by the vacuum.
Texture Carpeting - When it is being manufactured the fibers of a texture carpet are cut and twisted in a similar manner to that of frieze carpeting but to a much lesser degree. The resulting look is somewhat different but texture carpets still do very well in high foot traffic areas.
Berber Carpet - Also known as loop carpet this resilient type of carpeting has taller loops that are all roughly the same height. Berber carpets are often multi-color in nature with soft highlights complementing the main color perfectly. Loop carpeting is a great choice for the family room or areas where spills are likely to occur on a regular basis (a child's bedroom for instance.)
Wool Carpet - For those seeking an eco friendly or "green" carpeting choice wool carpet may be the answer. Some people are attracted to wool carpet for its beauty but decide against it believing it is hard to maintain. That though is not the case, wool carpeting is as easy to care for as most other kinds.
Pattern Carpet - The patterns are created in the cut of the carpet pile itself, with "islands" of higher cut carpet pile contrasting with lower cut loops to create an overall three dimensional patterned effect. Pattern carpeting is great for adding a modern and contemporary touch to any room in your home.
Plush - Plush carpeting-as you may gather from the name- is the ultimate in carpet luxury. Its velvety softness and deep hues make it a sumptuous choice for adding the final touch to a formal living or dining room.
