Loop pile carpets are usually man made fibres tufted into a backing and then instead of being cut to give a cut pile carpet are left looped, berbers are one example of looped pile carpets ,the new natural type of
carpets are usually loop pile, so are cheaper looped pile printed carpets, one disadvantage of looped pile carpets is snagging if you have a pet that scratches at the carpet or it is snagged by sharp objects it can
fray or run like a ladder in a stocking, but on saying that some of the most hardwearing of carpets are looped pile tufted into a really heavy backing that prevents fraying, so in summing up the quality of a looped
pile carpet is usually based on the quality of the backing
