Camelot Carpet Mills: Style Types
Choosing carpet is an investment that will most likely last longer than any other design changes in your home, and is still the floor covering of choice for the majority of American consumers. There are many advantages to choosing carpet over hard surfaces:
Saxony |
 |
Saxony carpets (also referred to as “plush”) are very traditional and create a formal, elegant atmosphere. The velvety finish of these products is very luxurious, and the shading created by the light hitting the fibers differently is highly sought-after by those who love this look. Saxony carpets show footprints and vacuum marks more than any other carpet style. |
Texture |
 |
In a textured product, the yarn is twisted tightly during the heat-setting process to create a finished carpet with a relaxed, casual appearance. Textured carpets do a much better job of hiding footprints and vacuum marks than saxony carpets, and are very popular in today’s active homes. |
Frieze |
 |
Pronounced frih-zay’, this carpet style is the ultimate in laid-back and informal and is very forgiving in high traffic homes. The yarn is twisted so tightly that it curls over itself at the ends. This shows off its nubby appearance, which is what makes this style so clever at hiding footprints and vacuum marks. This style also is excellent for reducing the appearance of seams. |
Cable |
 |
The yarn used in cable styles is usually longer and thicker than that of any of its counterparts. Cable carpets feel very comfortable underfoot, their casual appearance is extremely inviting and they are best suited for low to medium traffic areas. |
Loop |
 |
Sometimes referred to as “berber”, loop products can either boast a random or patterned appearance. Loop styles are extremely durable and are available in either solid colors, with berber flecks, or in multi-colored patterns. Loop styles hide traffic patterns in hallways and throughways very well, however they can make seams more visible. |
Cut & Loop |
 |
These patterned styles use a cut pile and loop pile combination to create a variety of pattern effects. The patterns can be very small, such as a pin-dot appearance, or they can be very large scroll, floral and geometric patterns. The larger the pattern, the more carpet needs to be purchased to allow for the pattern to be matched at the seams. Cut and loop styles are excellent performers, and stand up to the most active of households. |
