In the marketplace there are three main types of residential carpet offered: Cut pile, loop pile (berber), and cut loop. You may ask what are these and how do they compare. Here are the answers….
Cut pile carpeting
- Most commonly used in America
- Three textures: plush, textured saxony, and frieze
Plush Carpet has a dense and uniform appearance which you would use in a more formal area of your home.
Textured Saxony Carpet has a more random and irregular texture and can be used in any place in the home. 
Frieze Carpet is the least formal of the three and has a ‘curly’ texture. It receives it's look from highly twisted yarn giving it a high durability.
