Tip sheared carpet

Tip sheared carpet offers the visual appeal of both texture and pattern. Tip sheared carpet is created by tufting some loops higher than others. When the carpet is sheared, the higher loop tufts are partly cut, but the lowers ones are not. The resulting cut pile tufts look darker than the loops, creating a pattern. It provides a variety of surface textures or sculptured effects. The different levels in this type of carpet can hide dirt and footprints.
