Textured Plush is a type of cut pile carpet that has a smoother finish and a textured surface that hides footprints and vacuum trails. Due to its versatility, it is ideal for busy households.

Velvet Plush combines an elegant look with great durability. It is constructed with dense, sheared fiber, creating a soft and luxurious texture. However, unlike Textured Plush, it is not ideal for busy households as it is prone to showing footprints and vacuum marks.

Saxony has a more refined surface creating a smooth and velvety texture that is best used in living and dining rooms.

Loop pile carpet is not sheered like cut pile carpet, but instead has loops that help promote resiliency to last a long time in high-traffic areas. This type of carpet is an excellent choice to install in both residential and commercial areas. Multi-Level loop pile carpet (Berber) has a more distinct style. It is made with two or three different loop heights to create easily visible pattern effects. The multiple loops produce durability and a more casual look and is typically favored for residential applications.

Cut & loop pile carpet is a combination of cut and looped yarn and is offered in a variety of styles and surface textures (including squares, swirls, and chevron) to create beautiful and unique single or multi-colored patterned surfaces.
