Loop pile carpet is a hardwearing surface formed on continuous loops of yarn. With loops of different pile heights, textured loop pile carpets have a unique sculptured look. Its texture also minimises tracking (footprints), shading (irregular light and dark areas) and fluffing.
Variations include wool sisal which replicates the look and colour of natural sisal, and gives the warmth and durability of wool; and berber, a rustic knobbly effect, available in different textures.
