You’ll have probably heard some of the different terms before. Still, suppose you’re unfamiliar with the various carpet types available. In that case, it’s important to understand some of the differences when getting started so that you can make the right decision for your home. Here’s a short introduction to three main carpet types available – Twist, Loop, and Saxony.

Twist Carpets

Suitable for most room types and known as a good all-round carpet, twist pile carpets keep their texture long term when paired with a good quality underlay and can also achieve a good level of comfort in their pile.

Saxony Carpets

With a soft and luxurious pile, Saxony carpets are the popular go-to choice for those looking for a premium carpet to sink their toes into. These deep pile carpets also can have rich, shifting color tones within their fibers.

Loop Carpets

With a tightly-packed, durable pile that can typically sustain long-term, intensive use, loop pile carpets are a fantastic, low-maintenance option. They’re often easier to clean than other carpet styles.
