Types Of Carpets

For the various rooms in a home, and as a way to appease the innumerable styles that people have, there exist a wide variety of carpet types to choose from. Below are three in particular that are relatively common in this country. Keep in mind these types have nothing to do with design or color, but instead only the construction and formation.

First we have Berber carpet. This carpet type is very durable and usually quite cheap to make. For these reasons it is common in many schools and office buildings. These carpets tend to be pattern-less and are distinguishable by their loop pile construction.

Next, we have Frieze or Shag carpeting. The fibers of a Shag carpet are lightly twisted giving it a light bouncy feel. Popularized in the 70’s, Shag carpeting – as the name suggests – has a shaggy appearance. It often quite soft though, providing comfort and support.

Lastly, we have Plush carpeting. Perhaps the most versatile on this list, Plush carpets are usually quite thick and soft. They provide much support and are generally considered among the most comfortable of all the carpet choices.

Cleaning these carpets can be a chore. Why not call Steamers Carpet Care, and let us do the dirty work for you.
