When shopping for carpet, you’ll most likely start to here a lot about carpet “texture.” If you aren’t familiar with different styles and textures of carpet, chances are you’ll feel a bit lost.
Carpet Textures: More Than Just a Word
Too often, people feel like how a carpet looks is more important than what the carpet may or may not have to offer.
Textured: Textured carpet sports a more laid back look. With two different types of carpeting twisted together, it can also appear two-toned. Textured is great for areas with high traffic as it doesn’t show footprints.
Saxony: Saxony is one of the most common carpet types. With its soft texture, it shows lines easily, but is attractive and comfortable. However, it will show traffic and stains easily.
Berber: Berber or looped carpet, is one of the most durable carpets available. It’s designed with different heights of carpet that make it appear “looped.”
