During manufacturing, portions of a loop-pile surface are sheared while other loops remain intact. The result can create subtle patterning without using multiple fiber types. Tip-sheared construction may be used in hospitality, offices, public spaces, and design-focused interiors. The cut and loop portions can reflect light differently, producing intentional shading. Traffic and vacuuming may also change the visible direction of the pile. The product's density, fiber, backing, tuft bind, cleaning requirements, and approved traffic level should be reviewed for the intended commercial application.
