Timeless Woven Texture: Island Weave Arran

The Island Weave Arran collection relies on a robust Loop Pile format. Loop piles are famous for their structural persistence because they don't flatten or footprint like traditional tufted cut piles. Featuring a clean, low profile 6.5mm total height and a highly dense 950g/m² pile weight, it provides a firm, supportive feel underfoot that stands up to daily wear. 

If you are looking for a carpet that brings a touch of organic, rustic charm to your floor while being exceptionally resilient, this premium loop pile is a perfect match. It mimics the beautiful, woven aesthetic of high-end wool but utilises modern manufacturing technology to keep it accessible and highly practical.

Berber carpets are renowned for their unique blend of style, durability, and cultural significance. Berber carpets take their name from carpets handwoven by women from Berber tribes in North Africa, often using centuries-old techniques. Known for their exceptional durability, their tight weave and high-quality materials complement a wide range of interior styles, from modern to traditional. Berber is a classic style that is now being rediscovered and with modern manufacturing, results in not only a beautiful pattern and texture of weave that adds an eye-catching extra level of interest to your carpet, but increases their impressive level of strength and durability.

Built on a hardwearing Action Backing, this collection offers superior dimensional stability, ensuring it remains tightly stretched and securely fitted across any room.

Why Island Weave Arran stands out

• Hefty Loop Construction: Clocking in at 950g/m², this is a substantial loop pile carpet. The extra yarn weight means the loops are tightly packed, offering better long-term recovery and wear resistance than lighter entry-level loops.

• Full Stair Suitability: Rated for Class 22 General Domestic use, it is a proven performer in transit areas. Because the loops are low-profile and dense, it wraps beautifully around steps without exposing the backing underneath.

• Stain-Defying Fibre: Woven using 100% Polypropylene, the yarn is inherently spill-resistant and fully bleach-cleanable. It is highly resilient against common household accidents like tea or juice spills.

• Double Decade Reassurance: Associated Weavers provides a solid 10-Year Wear Warranty and a matching 10-Year Stain Warranty, giving you long-term security in your investment.

Technical Specifications

Expert Guidance: Placement & Maintenance Advice

• Where to Fit: Thanks to its high loop density and action backing, Arran excels in Hallways, Stairs, and Landings. It is also a smart option for Lounges, Dining Rooms, and Home Offices where office chairs or heavy foot traffic can easily wear down regular cut-pile floors.

• Vacuuming Best Practices: To keep your loop pile looking pristine, always use a suction-only vacuum cleaner. Avoid heavy rotating power brushes or beater bars, which can catch the loops and cause the yarn to fuzz over time.

• Underfloor Heating Companion: Featuring a low 0.90 TOG rating, this carpet allows warmth from subfloor heating networks to pass quickly into your room, making it highly energy efficient.
