Kinds of carpeting
The outside part of a carpet is called the pile, and is completed either by weaving or by tufting thin threads of fiber through a pre-woven backing.

and cutting the pile to produce a number of tufts.

divided in such a way that it minimizes the presentation
of tracks in the carpet. Frieze carpeting is a desirable
choice for high traffic areas of a dwelling. Saxony

be seen in tracks slightly more. Finally, plush carpet

carpet is a high quality choice for bedrooms and formal
rooms.

pressured through the backing. Loop pile to be likely
used in great numbers of industrial applications because

much fiber.

techniques. It is usually used to create a textured
result or repeated decoration in carpeting, and is
commonly not suitable for areas which are having great
weight when used, because the cut pile areas of the
carpeting will begin to spoil the shape.
