Frieze Carpet Info
Are you in the carpet market for a long lasting carpet that can last you for a decade or more? Are you planning wall to wall carpeting that will not track and get dirt easily? Then you may just be looking for a Frieze carpet. With having virtually zero track area and having low maintenance requirements, it may suit your needs quite perfectly.
Frieze carpets have a very high twist level compared to most rugs. It has around 9 twists per inch which makes it very springy and resilient to pressure. This resiliency and curliness makes it for all intents and purposes track free. Thus, these carpets are highly used for areas with high traffic. The coiling of the material in different directions is what hides the tracks. This type of carpet also is usually made with very soft, very fine fabrics so it feels very feet friendly.

The only downside of this type of carpet is that due to the fact that it is very springy and that the material tends to stick out in various directions, most carpets in this type are made in simple, block designs. Complex patterns in Frieze carpets are relatively hard to find but some manufacturers make up for it by combining colors for a more textured effect.
