The Basics
All carpet styles have one thing in common: they are all made of fibersthat are cut, looped, or cut and looped. As you look at carpet, you’ll see the styles fall into a few categories. One general rule you can use when deciding on your carpet is: the longer or higher the pile length, the softer and richer feeling the carpet becomes.
