     Understanding Carpet Construction     Tufted carpets get their name from their tufts, which are essentially clusters of yarn fibers that are drawn through some sort of medium, such as a natural fabric or synthetic base. The tufts project from the surface of the base, and may be loops, as in a Berber carpet, or cut, as in a cut pile carpet. A piece of backing is then added to the medium through which the tufts are drawn, completing the carpet.   The creation of tufted carpets requires the use of a tufting machine. Needles are mounted into position on tufting machines, and help to push the fiber through the base material. Settings on the machine can be programmed to create pile tufts that are uniform in height and distribution. The machines can also be set to create a pattern composed of tufts of different heights. Carpet style Level loop (commercial loop) carpet style A level loop carpet style (also called commercial carpet loop) involves looped threads of yarn in tufts of similar height. The level loop pile is constructed by weaving even loops of yarn into carpet backing. Level loop carpet style is a good choice for high-traffic residential and commercial areas because it is durable as well as track resistant due to the strong loops. Higher loops in a level loop carpet will create a more luxurious look.  Multilevel loop carpet style A multilevel loop carpet style features loops of different heights which gives the carpet a uniquely textured surface. A multilevel loop carpet style is a good choice for busy rooms.   Cut loop carpet style The tips on a random shear carpet style are both cut and uncut. A cut loop carpet style is best for informal spaces. A cut loop carpet style provides a variety of surface textures for medium durability.
