The World of Carpet

Carpet’s comeback is more than just a trend; it’s a statement. Whether you’re revitalizing your living space or completely reinventing it, carpets effortlessly blend versatility with an undeniable charm, infusing your home with warmth and character.

Understanding the unique properties of each carpet fibre is crucial, as it ensures the perfect fit for different areas of your home. You have the freedom to choose, whether it’s a lavish carpet for your living room, providing an inviting sanctuary for guests, or a resilient synthetic carpet option that withstands the hustle and bustle of everyday life, ensuring both style and practicality. It’s your home, your haven – let your carpets reflect your unique style and needs.

Now, let’s delve into the world of carpet fibres, each offering its unique touch and feel:

The most popular type of carpet is the cut pile. It is created from yarn which has been tightly twisted together. It mainly comes in plain colours and has a mottled textured appearance. This is a great option for those seeking a general purpose and economical style around the home.

This carpet describes exactly how it feels. The Velvet pile has a very smooth, silky feel with an elegant cut pile finish. This is ideal for bedrooms in need of that luxurious and cosy feel. However, velvet pile is comparatively expensive in relation to some other types of carpet due to the high grade material which goes into the manufacturing process.

Shag pile is made in the same way as cut pile, but has much longer tufts for a fantastically luxurious feel. The shaggy appearance was extremely popular back in the Seventies and this look is increasingly making a comeback at present.

A type of carpet which is excellent for durable all purpose use, is looped pile carpet – sometimes referred to as a Berber carpet. This type of carpet features a looped pile making it more hard wearing than other carpet types.

It is also characterised by a heavier and wider kind of yarn. The loops can either be uniform or different sizes for a more textured look and feel. The yarn too can vary in size.

The great thing about looped pile is that it is possible to combine both a varied cut and loop to create a dramatic, sculptured effect to your floor.

Saxony is similar to Shag pile in as much as it also features longer tufts than some of the other styles. It can best be described as a dense cut pile and people often favour it for use in bedrooms and living rooms
