When selecting the perfect carpet for your home. There’s many different types of carpets to choose from and many that will meet your criteria.
First choose the look you are after, then compare the fibres to see which one will best suit your home style, preferred features and budget.
Carpet Types
Polyprolene
This synthetic is a good choice if you’re on a budget, as it’s generally cheap. It feels soft to the touch and is stain resistant.
Polyester
Popular because it looks and feels most like wool, polyester is usually used as part of a blend with real wool. Like other synthetics, its stain resistance is a major benefit.
Nylon
Nylon, also known as polyamide, is the most durable of the synthetic fibres. It can stretch without losing its shape
Wool
Wool carpets are natural, durable and provide good heat and sound insulation. They can also absorb and release moisture in the room, controlling humidity levels.
Sisal, Jute, Seagrass & Coir
Plant-based carpet materials are growing in popularity, thanks to their stylish and contemporary appearance.
