Cut Pile carpet fiber ends are cut on a level face. 

Saxony is a popular carpet of dense, level-cut pile with loops clipped to about 1/2" high. The closely packed yarns give a soft smooth surface which is perfect in formal settings. A smooth- finished saxony is sometimes referred to as plush. 

Textured is also a cut pile, but isn’t as densely tufted as a saxony. Two-toned yarn and an uneven surface gives it a casual look suited for any room. Its tight-twist construction helps resist soil, so it’s often a good choice for family rooms and kitchens. 

Frieze carpets have a short, durable, twisted pile fiber well suited for busy areas.     

Loop Pile yarns are looped and fastened to the backing.

Berber features large, uncut loops of natural-tone fibers, usually of olefin. Berber is very durable and a good choice for high-traffic areas. 

Level loop refers to tufted, uncut loops of equal height. It’s durable, and a great carpet for high traffic areas and informal rooms.
