Types Of Carpet Mats:
Carpet mats can be divided into various types based on many features. To name some-
Based on Carpet Piles and Face Weight:
- Low pile carpet- It has short fibers that feels dense and flat. Since it doesn’t catch much dust or dirt it is easy to clean and is durable. It therefore doesn’t lose its initial appearance even after incurring a lot of foot traffic. It can therefore be used for rooms with lot of foot traffic or perhaps pet hair is concerned.
- Medium pile carpet- Medium pile carpets are designed with fibers much taller than that of low pile carpets therefore offers a softer touch. It also offers a balance of ease and comfort. It is best suited for living rooms and bedrooms because it manages to hold up moderate foot traffic. It can be cleaned easily with a vacuum or brush roller even though it is more prone to pet hair and debris.
- High pile carpet- It has long fibers making it fluffy and warmer. It readily catches dust or debris yet it adds extra cushion to underfoot adding extra comfort. It requires more frequent maintenance.
Based on Indoor Carpet Mats Style and Making:
- Texture carpet- It is known as twist carpet style, also one of the most popular indoor carpet styles. It resists absorbing dirt with its two-toned yarn and highly twisted construction. Since it is soft to touch and does not catch dirt easily it is best suited for bedrooms or living rooms.
- Loop carpet- Also known as Berber carpet. It is best suited for heavily traffic foot area because of its design. . It uses its looped and uncut yarn to avoid dirt and dust. It makes it highly stained resistant and therefore best useful for stairs, hallways and basement.
- Pattern carpet- It is a combination of texture and looped carpet. Since the looped yarn is shorter than the cut yarn there appears to be a pattern on the surface of this carpet. Due to its sophisticated nature it is more preferable in offices and bedrooms.

- Polyester- It is less durable than nylon fibers and can fade under sun. However it offers various vibrant colors. Like trimestral fiber it is water resistant too therefore it can avoid moist damage and stain too.
- Wool- It is the traditional and natural fiber used for making a carpet. It feels soft and is a gives a luxurious look to the carpet. It can stand heavy foot traffic and furniture compaction provided it is maintained properly. Many stains or chemical in stains removals can damage the wool.
