Carpet Products - Introduction

For warmth and comfort underfoot, carpet is your choice. Carpet has two layers- face pile and backing. Because the face pile is subject to all the wear and tear, it’s your key consideration. Backing is almost never seen once the carpet is installed, but it plays a role in the overall quality.

Carpet face pile comes in two variations: cut and loop. In cut-pile carpets individual yarns stand up straight from the backing. In loop-pile construction the yarn comes out of the backing, loops over, and returns into the backing. Loop-pile carpets with a level surface are called level loops. If the loop height varies, the carpet is a multilevel loop. Most loop piles will perform better than cut piles in the long term because the loops help evenly distribute the impact of foot traffic.
