FAQs
What is shag carpeting?
Shag rugs are a type of carpet characterized by a deep, thick pile, which gives the carpet a shaggy appearance (hence the name). Pile is usually made of strands of yarn or upright loops, and the part of the rug faces up from the backing. Shag carpeting is a cultural icon synonymous with 70's culture and is reemerging today with newfound popularity.
Low or high-pile carpet: What’s right for me?
High-pile carpet might be right for you if…
- You're interested in carpet for its warmth and comfort. High-pile is known for the cozy home atmosphere it helps create.
- You don't want your carpet to become flattened over time. Despite its taller loops, high pile carpet is less likely to flatten than low carpet options.
- You love the luxurious look that full, fluffy carpet offers.
- Low-pile could be a fit if…
- Your home includes allergy sufferers. A low-pile carpet helps prevent allergens from lodging within your carpet's surface.
- Easy cleaning is important to you. Low pile carpet's flatter surface makes it easier to remove stains quickly and thoroughly.
- You'd like to carpet a dining room or playroom. The low pile carpet's smoother surface allows chairs or toys to move across your flooring easily.
