When it comes to rugs, rug manufacturers typically use loop pile, cut pile, or a combination of both to create attractive rugs. However, manufacturers also make many other types of carpets. We’re going to look at some other types that can help you stand out from the rest.
pile of plush
This type of rug has a soft, velvety appearance and an upright surface that gives it a formal look. They are also known as velor or velvet carpets. This type of carpet is ideal for use in offices. However, keep in mind that on carpets with a soft pile, the marks left by vacuuming and footprints are clearly visible. Therefore, they are not recommended for high traffic areas.
Saxony-
Another type of carpet produced by the carpet manufacturers is Saxony. They are known for their rich, smooth appearance somewhat resembling that of plush pile. However, the main difference between the two is that the pile height in Sachsen rugs is higher and more twisted compared to plush pile rugs. Like plush pile rugs, they show marks from vacuuming and footprints.
Freeze-
They are known for their shaggy appearance and are generally recommended for home use due to their less formal appearance. They have deep texture due to their long layers of pile running in different directions. In addition, carpet manufacturers can customize this type of carpet for you with thick or thin, short and long pile. They are typically used in hoes, but not as commonly used in offices.
sisal
Sisal carpets are a slightly different variant of loop pile carpets. They have textured loop piles arranged in neat rows. They are available in many different textures and patterns. The height of your loop may vary depending on the texture and pattern.
Berber-
The carpet manufacturers use thicker loop piles or produce Berber carpets. They are generally made in neutral tones, but accents of different colors are also used to add a special touch to the whole. They are particularly recommended for high traffic areas as their durable stained finish is excellent at hiding dirt and footprints. In addition, they can also be produced as a cut pile.
If you are planning to buy a new carpet or want to replace the existing one, the above carpet types can be perfect to add a unique character to any room. However, make sure you consult a professional before making your purchase as not every rug can be used in every part of the home.
