Carpet - With So Many Styles It Makes a Great Choice for Flooring

By Larry Strauch

Carpet is one of the most popular flooring choices for new homes, re-modeling and commercial. It's popular because of the range of different styles, textures and colors that can bring warmth and comfort to any room in your home of office. There are a number of assorted kinds of carpet like Saxony, Cable, Frieze, Texture, Loop and Pattern. Each of these kinds of carpet is manufactured differently which adds to its distinctive qualities.

Cable - Cable carpeting is manufactured with a "fat" yarn process. This gives it a chunky look and feel as well as making it very functional and long lasting which is great for high traffic areas. This unique style also makes it more modern versus other styles.

Saxony - A Saxony carpet is a cut pile carpet with a smooth, level finish that has a rich, elegant look. Saxony is perfect for an area such as a formal dining room or living room. Keep in mind a Saxony carpet will tend to show footprints and vacuum marks more readily than other types of carpet.

Texture - The most popular type of carpet is the Texture style. It's popular because it fits any room in your house and it is easier to maintain because it doesn't show vacuum marks and footprints. If you are looking for a great carpet for any room then a Textured carpet will definitely do the trick.

Frieze - If you are looking for a carpet that works well in high traffic areas, you may want to check out the Frieze style. Because its yarns are more tightly twisted, it doesn't get crushed or matted and holds up better than other styles.

Loop - A carpet style that is extremely hard-wearing for your home, or work place, is known as a Loop style which is also called a Berber. This style is tends not to exhibit traffic marks like other styles. Because of this, it makes a great carpet for family rooms and kitchen areas. If you are looking for an extremely long-lasting carpet for your your work place, waiting room, reception area or lobby then check into a commercial level loop. Because of its lastingness, it would make an exceptional style for this type of area.

Pattern - A more formal type of carpet is known as a Pattern style. Because it can have bold or more subtle designs, it makes a great carpet for living rooms, dining rooms and master bedrooms. Pattern styles are constructed with a loop or cut pile or combination of both loop and cut pile.

Regardless of the type of carpet you decide on, there is a never-ending range of textures, colors, styles and price points available that will satisfy everyone's tastes. Now, and in the future, carpet will continue to be a great value for everyone that is looking for new flooring. - 20762
