Loop Pile:


Loop pile carpet consists of tightly woven loops of yarn or fiber, offering exceptional durability, particularly suited for high-traffic areas like stairs and hallways. Despite its toughness, it maintains a soft and smooth texture, providing insulation and noise reduction qualities typical of most carpets.


Level Loop:

Similar to loop pile but with precise measurements ensuring uniform loop heights, creating a more consistent appearance and enhancing durability.


Multi-level Loop:

This style allows for patterned carpet designs, with loops of varying heights arranged to create stripes or zigzags. While offering a luxurious feel, it's recommended for lounges and bedrooms rather than high-traffic areas due to potential flattening of the loops over time.


Loop Pile:

Known for its contemporary look and durability, Berber loop pile carpet is tightly woven with thicker fibres, offering a dense texture that resists stains and maintains a newer appearance for longer periods.


Cut Pile:


With a softer and more luxurious appearance than loop pile, cut pile carpet is created by cutting open looser loops of yarn at their highest point. It can be uniformly cut for a plush look or varied in length for a textured surface, ideal for areas prone to stains or foot traffic.


Twist:


Featuring a unique and fuzzy texture achieved by twisting or kinking yarns in random directions, frieze carpet offers a relaxed and cozy aesthetic. While prone to flattening in high-traffic areas, it provides a comfortable feel underfoot.


Patterned Carpet:

Combining cut pile and level loop techniques, patterned carpet offers decorative appeal, often seen in hotels to evoke a sense of grandeur.


Plush Pile:

Also known as velvet or velour, plush carpet features densely packed, uniformly cut pile with a soft, padded feel. Ideal for bedrooms due to its exceptional comfort.
