When comparing loop and cut piles, possibly the only con to using loop pile carpet is that it may lack the high-end smooth finish of a luxurious cut pile carpet. While loop pile carpets are considered easier to clean than cut pile carpets because spills sit on the surface of a loop pile longer than on a cut pile, innovative technological manufacturing processes must also take some credit as they have produced excellent stain resistant properties, particularly in synthetic carpets. The plain loop of the Borneo carpets creates a continuous uniform finish with minimal texture, but still more texture than a cut pile carpet. Note the diverse appearances of Carpet Court’s textured loop Far North and the Borneo plain loop collection.įar North is crafted in 100% pure Berber wool but it is the textured loop which creates quite different appearances, one fairly natural and the other with distinctive patterns. Loop pile carpets can provide a diverse range of carpet designs because they can be manufactured into a variety of patterned and textured designs, or smooth and even finishes, creating quite different visual impressions. Loop pile carpets are also less likely to show footprints or imprints from furniture than cut pile carpets and they also don’t leave tracking marks after vacuuming. Dust, dirt, debris and spills don’t penetrate level loop pile carpets to the same degree as a cut pile which means they may have more resistance to staining.
One of the main benefits of level loop pile carpets is that the strands of wool or synthetic fibres are highly resilient to crushing, soiling and staining. Loop and cut piles both have pros and cons. What are the pros and cons of using loop pile carpet? Some carpet styles combine both loop and cut piles to create distinctive patterns. In level loop pile carpets the loops may be of a uniform length which creates a relatively smooth and even appearance or more commonly the loops are designed to create a patterned and textured appearance.
The difference between a loop pile and a cut pile carpet is that the loops are cut in a cut pile carpet. A loop pile carpet has strands of wool or synthetic fibres looped through carpet backing.
