What Is Plush Carpeting ? The luxurious look, feel and comfortable choice for homes




Plush is a cut-pile loop ended carpet fiber which is evenly sheared and tightly twisted in one direction to appear flat. Wool piles carpets were the first plush pile carpets introduced to the market over 50 years ago. PR Log (Press Release)  – Wool piles carpets were the first plush pile carpets introduced to the market over 50 years ago. They were made of pencil point styling and were staple or spun fibers. Wool fibers were mainly soft in solid colors and generally are still preferred this way. The cost of beautiful wool carpets can range from $55 a square yard to over $100 a square yard. You

might say they were the fiber of the rich and famous when broadloom carpet was introduced. Broadloom carpet? It simply means that they are made in widths greater than 27 inches. Nylon piled plush carpets came into being in the 60’s and the rest is history. Now everyone can have beautiful nylon plush carpet in 12 & even 15 wide widths. Plush fibers are mainly made of gorgeous staple and spun piles. This type of yarn gives even lower priced plush styles a crisp and pencil point definition. That means when you look at the carpet you can see each fiber that comes out of the backing of the carpet. Plush pile fiber comes in different face weights. They range from 25 ounces to 60 and 70 ounce fabrics. It’s recommended to use a 50 ounce face weight plush pile carpet for a family of 4. Remember density, face weight gauge and pile height make up the carpet fiber. Carpet construction, carpet fibers, carpet dye method, carpet styles, and even carpet color selection, all play an integral part in carpet performance. Carpet offers more than simply softness under foot. Carpet absorbs sound, reduces heating and cooling costs by improving R-value, and offers lower maintenance costs when compared to other flooring systems. In the 1980’s continuous filament was introduced in plush piled carpet. Continuous filament nylon [CFN] an extremely resilient fiber

not to mention the wonderful wear when a carpet is constructed of CFN. The look is a little more casual in this type of construction but the benefits are awesome.
