Weave Type
Loop Pile Carpet
Loop pile carpets are made of tightly woven, densely packed fibers that are more durable than cut pile carpets.
They can withstand heavy foot traffic and are often used in commercial or rental properties and high-traffic areas such as hallways or living rooms due to the constant walking in and out and those often used pathways and standing points, like that spot in front of your sofa!
A great insulator, they're brilliant at muffling sounds, cutting down on stomps and booms from energetic individuals and keeping your home warm and cosy, cutting down on heating bills.
The looped pile structure of loop pile carpets means that spills sit on top, giving you time to clean them up before they soak into the fibers. Loop pile carpets are easier to clean than cut pile carpets, and regular maintenance can help them look good for longer.
Material Type
Polypropylene Carpet
Polypropylene is a synthetic fiber that lends itself perfectly to carpets due to its exceptional performance characteristics: Durability, Stain Resistance, Affordability, and Low Maintenance.
Durability: Polypropylene fibers are inherently strong and resilient, making them highly resistant to wear and tear. They can withstand heavy wear, making them ideal for high-traffic areas such as living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms. Polypropylene carpets are less prone to matting and pilling, ensuring a long-lasting and attractive appearance.
Stain Resistance: A practical choice for households with children or pets. The fibers have a non-absorbent nature, preventing spills from penetrating deeply into the carpet. It's easy to clean up stains with a simple spot treatment, reducing the risk of permanent stains.
Affordability: Generally more affordable than other carpet materials, such as wool, they are an attractive option for those looking to save money without compromising on quality.
Low Maintenance: Typically resistant to dirt and dust, you need to vacuum less. Due to the aforementioned stain-resistant nature, regular vacuuming and occasional spot cleaning are usually sufficient to keep polypropylene carpets looking their best.
Backing Type
Action Backing
Action, or hessian backing as it is also known, is a sturdy choice. Unlike felt, action backed carpets are recommended to be used with underlay to give a softer, more comfortable feeling underfoot.
Action backed carpets are highly durable and have a longer lifespan than felt backed carpets due to their woven backing.
The long lifespan makes them a great value choice as you'll see more milage for your money and with regular care, will be enjoying your carpet for years to come.
Carpets with Hessian backing are great at dampening sound, making them a great choice for active family homes and offices.
Due to the sturdy, long lasting nature of the carpets, they are popular with hotels and businesses which encounter high foot traffic through their carpeted areas.
Easy Installation Perk:
Action backed carpets are very easy to handle during installation, making them a great choice for home owners to work with and put down themselves, without the need for professional installation costs.
