Use the style and padding information below and let's help you find the carpet style that will be right at home in your home.

Cut Pile	Islands of high-cut pile contrast with lower loops to form an up-and-down sculptured pattern. It sets a contemporary, upscale tone - great for a family room or den.	Saxony	The fiber loops are densely packed and cut at one level to create a smooth, luxurious surface. This classical style sets a traditional tone appropriate for a formal dining room or living room.
Loop	Also known as Berber style. The fiber loops are all roughly the same height. This carpet often has flecks of additional color accenting the main hue. Loop carpet is sturdy, comfortable and great for family rooms and spill-prone areas.	Texture	The fiber loops are cut then slightly twisted but not curled as much as frieze. The textured surface helps mask footprints, so it's perfect for high traffic zones and casual areas. Versatility and practicality contribute to this carpet style's popularity
Frieze	This style has very tightly twisted tufts and wears very well. It can last 15 years or more, is often used in heavy traffic areas, and provides reduced footprint and vacuum marks. Typically more expensive than plush styles, frieze would be a durable and elegant selection for the home.

Most berber carpets require a thinner denser padding, usually a 5/16" or 3/8 thickness with a density range of 6 to 9lbs. Conversely, most plushes and frieze-styles feel best with a thicker padding, usually a 7/16" or 1/2" thickness with a density range of 6.2 to 8lbs.
