Types of Carpet Pile
|
|
Cut Pile |
|
|
Cutpile is a smooth classic finish often known as "velour" or "velvet" pile, ideal for bringing a luxurious and sensual feel to rooms.
The tops of the loops of wool are cut and the yarn slightly twisted to produce tufts of yarn that stand upright and produce a smooth, even surface.

Hard Twist (CutPile) |
|
|
This style of carpet, also called 'Fris?cut pile', features yarn twisted to high degree and then set. The hardwearing texture minimises tracking (footprints), shading (irregular light and dark areas in the pile) and shedding, making it a popular, practical carpet.

|
Loop Pile |
|
|
Level loop pile is a hard wearing surface formed on continuous loops of yarn of uniform length, designed to minimise tracking.
|
|
|
Textured loop Pile |
|
|
With loops of differing pile height, textured loop has a unique sculptured look. Like level loop pile, this hard wearing texture minimises tracking.

|
Wool Sisal |
|
|
Wool sisal-look carpets are very popular. The fashionable raw, woven texture of sisal (coir and seagrass) is stylishly translated using the warmth, softness and durability of New Zealand wool.

Shag Pile |
|
|
A variation on the traditional cut pile 'velvet' or 'velour' style, shag pile's tufts of yarn are longer, giving a sensual and luxurious feel to any room.
