The shape of the yarn and the way it is attached to the backing of a carpet is also known as the pile. Types of piles are: frieze and loop. Frieze is made of twisted yarn tufts that curl at the carpet surface. It covers footprints and is highly appropriate for areas with high foot traffic. Loop pile like Berber has uniformly cut yarn and lasts also in areas with high foot traffic. When changing carpets, it is also best to change your cushion to extend its life. Your carpet underlay can assist in absorbing the shock from the foot traffic and avoid the carpet fibers from being tangled or squeezed out of shape.
