TYPES OF CARPET
- Twist Pile Carpet – Made of tightly twisted tufts which make a slightly textured, low pile. Available in wool or man-made fibres. Low pile is less prone to shading and flattening.
- Velvet Pile Carpet - Luxurious, smooth and soft, quite similar to twist piles.
- Wool Loop Pile Carpet – Made of tufts which are produced in loops and left uncut. Makes an extremely hard wearing carpet which is easy to clean.
- Saxony Carpet – Fibres are twisted tightly together then straightened with heat to product a carpet similar to velvet but not as smooth. They have a luxurious deep pile but are prone to holding foot marks.
- Patterned Carpet – Smooth surface which is durable and resilient and suitable for areas with high foot traffic.
- Sisal, Seagrass & Coir – Natural flooring which can be expensive but is really hardwearing.
USEFUL INFORMATION
- Carpet can provide warmth and insulation, ideal for family rooms and bedrooms, and will contribute towards energy efficiency as well as absorbing noise from foot traffic.
- Stairs and hallways are areas of heavy foot traffic so should be carpeted with a durable carpet option.
- Dining room carpet may not need to be incredibly hard wearing, but it may be wise to opt for a carpet resilient to stains.
- Many people prefer living room carpets to be luxurious, but you may want to consider how durable this may be.
- When you purchase a new carpet, new underlay is a must. It will prolong the life of your carpet and enhance its appearance.
- Patterned carpet can act as a focal point but may make small rooms look even smaller.
- Plain carpet offers a greater degree of design flexibility but can make a large room look empty and any stains will be harder to disguise.
