TEXTURE
A Textured carpet is one of the most popular & well known. This is because of the way they are made. Textured carpets are generally more resilient against wear & stains & are tough wearing & less likely to show up dirt, tracks, or dents. They are, therefore, perfect for high traffic areas or anyone with kids or pets!
SAXONY
Saxony carpet is a cut loop pile carpet. Its pile is designed to be incredibly dense, for a soft feeling underfoot. This makes it popular for bedrooms & living rooms.
Sometimes Saxony carpets are called a plush carpet, based on the luxurious style & feel. They have a velvet-like appearance, which is created by tightly twisting the carpet fibres, cutting them & then heating them so they stand up straight.

TWIST / FRIEZE
Frieze, also referred to as twist, is a trendy style of carpet today. Frieze is essentially the modern version of the old shag carpet, due to its knobby appearance, from the ’60s and ’70s. Its appearance is unique but clean. It’s often multi-colored, but it can also be a solid color. Its tight twists make it more durable than some other carpet styles.
CABLE
This particular style of carpet is constructed of thicker, typically longer yarn. This style is very comfortable underfoot and beautiful in a bedroom or living room. However, keep in mind that this style is better suited for rooms without a lot of activity.
LOOP
In this type of carpet, loops are tufted very tightly, the carpet is often very dense & is typically an excellent choice for higher traffic areas. A tight loop construction also minimizes footprints. Most loop carpets are suitable for high traffic areas; keep the little ones from pulling on the loops and shoo away the cats that tend to pull on the loops.
CUT & LOOP
A cut and Loop is a style of the carpet made by combining looped fibers with cut (straight) ones. This enables the manufacturer to form a design in the carpet, that can be either geometric or abstract. Cut & Loop combines both cut and uncut loops to create patterns and textures.
NYLON & POLYPROPYLENE
Nylon
When we talk about stretchable carpets, nothing beats nylon. Nylon carpet is soft yet robust, shows color brilliantly & is easy to wash & maintain. It is very resilient, fade-resistant, and retains its texture well. It’s perfect for making stretchy, durable fabric. These carpets are a great choice for anywhere in the home, especially places where stains may occur. Overall, this versatile fabric can’t be beaten!
The properties of nylon include:
- Highly resistant against molds, mildew, rot, and chemicals
- Extremely flexible
- Comfortable to wear
- Difficult to rip or tear
Polypropylene (Olefin)
Polypropylene is known as a superhero in the world of plastic. The use of polypropylene in carpet has grown dramatically over the past ten years. It is exceptionally resistant to moisture, stains, fading & chemical cleaning agents. Because it’s resistant to moisture & mildew, it’s generally the right choice for outdoor and indoor areas, including playrooms, kitchens, and dens. The material is an excellent insulator & can be engineered into various products or melted down and recycled into something new.
The properties of polypropylene include:
- Wards off water
- Eco-friendly
- Can be recycled
- Chemical resistant
POLYESTER & WOOL
Polyester (P.E.T.)
Polyester may be soft, but it’s actually made from plastic & is scientifically known as polyethylene terephthalate. Made from recycled P.E.T. products, like plastic soda bottles, are more robust than polypropylene and can perform as well as nylon at a lower cost. It offers exceptional softness, making it ideal for thick, cut pile styles. Carpets made from polyester are easily cleaned & they resist water-soluble stains. As a recycled product, it is an inexpensive, environmentally friendly option.
The properties of polyester include:
- Dries quickly
- Easy to wash
- Wrinkle-resistant
- Extremely durable
Wool
Wool is the most commonly used natural fiber in carpeting. In a high traffic room, it stays resilient and bounces back. It’s also environmentally friendly because it comes from a renewable resource. While synthetic fibers comprise the vast majority of the carpet fiber market, wool has its niche in the marketplace and continues to be a sought-after fiber option. It was the original fiber for carpet and is the only natural one of the four primary fibers. It is tough and durable yet soft and luxurious. Dust, dirt, and oil-based stains come out quickly because wool naturally releases the soil rather than absorbing it.

ADVANCED GENERATION NYLONS
Advanced Generation Nylons are also known as “branded fibers” because they have a unique brand name. Buying branded vs. unbranded carpet undoubtedly makes a huge difference. Branded fibers are produced to a strict set of standards & thus offers better performance, stain, static, & crush resistance. These fibers have been specially treated with stain & soil resistant resins applied during the dyeing process. We feature the following branded fibers:
- Pet Defence®
- Softique®
- Infinity Nylon Carpet Fiber®
You’ll find carpet made with these branded fibers in your showroom. These branded fibers receive our Exclusive Lifetime Warranties.

While your new carpet is of the highest quality, it is still subject to everyday wear. EVERYDAY WEAR & TEAR
SPROUTING
If loose ends or "sprouts" extend above the rest of the pile, trim them off evenly with the pile surface. Never try to pull them out. After clipping, smooth the area with your fingers. Sharp edges on your vacuum cleaner, a child's toy, high heels or animal claws can cause this condition.
PILE CRUSHING
All carpet fibers will crush under heavy, stationary loads. Crushing can be reduced by shifting furniture regularly. Crushed areas can usually be restored by covering the area with a damp, clean white cloth and then very carefully applying heat to the cloth with an electric iron on a low setting. Remove the cloth and restore the pile while it is still hot by brushing it lightly. Keep traffic off the carpet until it is dry.
SHADING
After certain carpet styles have been subjected to traffic, you may notice areas that appear lighter or darker than other areas. Don't be alarmed! Shading is the result of the change in direction of the pile due to pressure from the footsteps and vacuuming. Brushing the pile all in one direction may temporarily correct shading; however, shading is part of the carpet styling and should be expected to varying degrees. Do not mistake shading for color fading.
PILE DISTORTION / ROLL CRUSH
When carpet is manufactured, inspected, handled and shipped, it is rolled and unrolled many times. A common problem called pile distortion or roll crush can occur when this happens. It can be corrected only after the carpet is installed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need carpet padding?
Yes! Carpet padding is really important to guard your carpet. The padding keeps the bottom of your carpet safe from wearing against the subfloor. It also absorbs the contact from footsteps and furniture, reducing the stress on the carpet. In addition to extending the protection, the right carpet padding also provides thermal insulation and decreases sound within the room, helping to make living spaces more pleasant.
How do I choose the right carpet for my room?
Think about how the room in your house is used. For example, in high-traffic zones, consider a thick loop pile carpet made of long-lasting nylon.
For sites with external or pet access, or where meals or drinks are often served, you might prefer a low-pile carpet flooring with soil and stain-resistant strategies and one that covers or hides the tracks from regular vacuuming.
For low-activity areas like formal living rooms and bedrooms, a soft, plush Saxony gives luxurious comfort.
Why does my carpet appear to change color in patches?
Different carpet fibers have different light-reflecting characteristics. Color casts may be seen as the carpet pile is slightly pushed in crossing directions ─ typically from foot traffic.
You can always adjust or fix this by vacuuming or sweeping the pile in a consistent or uniform direction.
How can I get rid of the new carpet smell?
Generally, the new carpet odor comes from the synthetic latex binder used to hold carpet textures and backing together. The smell is not harmful and normally fades within 72 hours.
You can try speeding up air circulation by using fans or opening windows during and immediately after carpet installation.
Is carpeting a good choice for homes with pets?
When we talk about carpeting and pets, a cut pile is always a better choice. However, looped pile carpets can snag on pets’ nails, making the yarn tear, fray, or pull out. Looped piles can also be a chewing attraction for some pets.
Which carpet will not show footprints?
If you’re looking for carpet flooring that won’t show footprints, furniture indentations, or vacuum marks, twist and loop carpets are the best.
Unlike plush carpets (also known as the cut pile), most twist and loop carpets display a less velvety look. In addition, twisted carpets, especially in a lighter tone, present a consistent flat surface. In contrast, loop carpets generally show a textured appearance.
What is carpet shading?
Shading is when a part or section of the carpet flooring seems to go lighter or darker in tone than the surrounding area. It is simply a visual effect affected by variations in the direction of the pile lay and how the light bounces off the carpet surface.
You may see it while vacuuming, walking, or moving your hand across the carpet floor. Cut-pile (plush) carpets are mostly associated with shading, and loop-style (Berber) sometimes do shade.
