Cut Pile Carpet | Durability You Can Stand On
Cut pile carpet did not always start that way, it started as a loop. So why would cutting a loop into a cut pile carpet be beneficial? Well, it’s quite simple, with vertical carpet fibers cut piles are denser, resisting stains better than loop pile. Cut pile carpet also resists the stress of weight a little better than its counterpart, and if you are looking for overall comfort with durability in high-traffic kid safe areas then contact Colautti today to speak about Cut Pile Carpet!
There are three main styles of cut pile carpet, and you can find them all at Colautti!
Velvet Plush Carpet
With a high density this cut pile carpet has very little twist, allowing the fiber to rise and fluff a more than the others. The appearance and feel is soft, and velvet plush is great for rooms of all sorts.
Saxony Carpet
This type of cut pile carpet utilized bulkier yarn fiber that is twisted tighter than the fibers in the plush carpet. Saxony tends to resist matting and crushing while still providing a pleasing softness when stepped on with bare feet. The bulkier fibers combined with the tighter twist make it ideal for use in areas of the home where there is a fair amount of traffic, such as a den or hallway.
Frieze Carpet
Of all the varieties of the cut pile, this one has the tightest twist on the yarn fibers. The twist is so tight that the fibers tend to curl over slightly. Since the individual fibers do not all curl in the same direction, the finished look is not as smooth as the other forms of cut pile carpet. Instead, Frieze carpet will have an appearance that is somewhat like a carefully laid out layer of pebbles. Extremely durable and resistant, Frieze carpet is a good choice for high traffic areas in the home and in the workplace.
