A looped style carpet is often referred to as a Berber.   Berbers are really big bulky yarns that are either produced in a level loop or multi-level loop carpet construction.  Looped carpets are very durable. This is the result of not cutting the yarn tips. You can see each individual loop.  Looped carpets are ideal for casual, active family rooms and come in solid colors, Berber fleck and patterns with varying levels of loops.  This carpet hides traffic patterns well but be advised that this style may make seams more apparent and its backing is more visible on stairs.  Still, this is a great all-purpose carpet, a long lasting performer and very popular in homes across the country.

In this style, all the loops are the same height. The dense, firm surface of a loop pile carpet makes it ideal for high-traffic areas.

The yarns in this style are also looped, but they are at two or three varying heights. The various heights can be arranged to create a wide range of patterns and textures.

In this style all the coloring of the carpets tends to be flecked or speckled, to give the carpet a more casual appearance

The carpets tend to look to be more solid colored and are more popular with today’s looks or a little more cutting edge.
