Fibers and Textures
When purchasing carpet, you will undoubtedly encounter numerous different types of carpeting- each having its own texture, look, and style.
| Here are just a few of the beautiful styles that Coles has to offer: |
Pattern 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. |
 Frieze
The fiber loops are cut, and then tightly twisted so the fibers appear to curl at the pile surface. This dense carpet,
pronounced "free-zay", works well in high-traffic areas. |
 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. |
