Today’s carpeting offers much more than a conventional loop
pile. To add to a room’s sophistication and interest,
consider choosing a textured pattern. The texture, colors,
and pattern of the carpet can be made to complement or
contrast with patterns of your furniture and window
treatments. Using a solid color, textured carpet is a great
way to provide interest and pizzazz, without going to a
multicolor, overall pattern.
Textured
styles also fit well with today’s active and casual
lifestyles. This particular look can be created through the
use of several construction techniques. Many of these styles
are known for their soil-hiding ability.
Cut pile Carpet:
Loops are cut, leaving individual yarn tufts. Still one of
today's most popular constructions, its durability is
achieved with factors including the type of fiber, density
of tufts, and the amount of twist in the yarn.
Plush
Carpet:
This cut pile carpet is made from straight, untwisted yarn.
The cut ends blend together to form a smooth, level surface.
This luxurious carpet is suited for formal settings, because
it shows all footprints and vacuum marks.
Frieze Carpet:
This cut pile carpet is suitable for high traffic areas. The
highly twisted yarn tufts curl at the surface, hiding
footprints.
Saxony Carpet: This dense, cut pile carpet is made with the
yarn tufts packed closely together to form a smooth surface.
This is a more versatile carpet, and is used in less formal
settings. Saxony styles will show footprints.
Textured Carpeting:
A cut pile carpet made with twisted yarn tufts, creating a
surface that masks footprints.
Loop pile Carpet:
Loops are the same height, creating an informal look. It
generally lasts a long time in high-traffic areas. Many of
today’s popular Berber styles are level loop styles with
flecks of a darker color on a lighter background.
Cut and loop pile Carpet:
Combination of cut and looped yarns. Provides variety of
surface textures, including sculptured effects of squares,
chevrons, swirls, etc.
Polyester Carpet Fiber:
Polyester carpet fiber is noted for its luxurious soft
"hand" when used in thick, cut pile textures. It has
excellent color clarity and retention. Polyester is easily
cleaned and resistant to water-soluble stains.
Polyester does not hold its fiber height under traffic and
shifting weight as well as other carpet fibers. Polyester is
luxurious, durable against abrasions, easy to clean, and
resistant to water soluble stains. Polyester carpets costs
less than wool and nylon.
Olefin Carpet Fiber:
Olefin carpet fiber is strong, resists wear and permanent
stains, and it is easily cleaned. It is notably colorfast
because Color is added in the fiber production. It resists
static electricity and is often used in both indoor and
outdoor installations because of its resistance to moisture
and mildew. It is used in synthetic turf for sports surfaces
and in the home for patio and game rooms. Many Berber are
made of Olefin.
Olefin is the next-best seller after nylon (about 80% of
commercial carpet). These fibers are colorfast because the
production process involves mixing polypropylene with dyes.
Olefin works best in loop carpets such as berbers. It is
strong (resisting both crushing and abrasion), mildew
resistant, moisture resistant, and easy to clean (bleach can
be used safely in some cases). However, olefin can be easy
to crush depending on the pile. This fiber is used in many
artificial sport turfs.

only the
Nylon Carpet:
Nylon carpet fiber is the most popular fiber (about 90% of
residential carpets and 65% of all carpets). Nylon carpet
fiber is a good choice for all traffic areas because it is
durable and static free, maintains fiber height, and resists
soiling, staining, and mildew. Nylon fibers, which are dyed
after production, maintain color. Some nylon carpet fades
with sunlight. It comes in continuous or spun fibers. Spun
yarn is made of short lengths of fibers that are spun
together. Thus, continuous filament are less likely to
unravel. |
