Color may make the first impression, but it is a carpet’s pile that leads consumers to make decisions about appropriateness and durability. A carpet’s pile is the yarn on its top surface. Piles that feature loop construction have a continuous uncut surface that is resistant to crushing and mat-ting. Cut pile is composed of cut loops that leave the ends of the yarn a rich, luxurious surface styled for elegant and formal rooms with little traffi c. Another cut pile, saxony, lends itself to rooms with a lesser degree of formality, while textured saxony is designed for informal rooms. Frieze is a good choice for any high traffic area. Carpets which combine cut and loop piles are styled for all but the most formal settings.
