Domestic Carpets
Carpet flooring offers the most warmth and softness as well as being the quietest of all the floor coverings. We offer a comprehensive range including Axminsters, Wiltons, Twists and Pure Wool.
Twist Piles
Twist pile look includes every fibre from wool to man-mades, and each has its own individual characteristics and advantages. Wool and wool-rich blends are generally acknowledged to be the yardstick. In the right density they are soft yet hardwearing, warm and comfortable to walk on and, as wool does not support combustion, they are generally the safest. Man-made fibres also have specific attributes. Most are exceptionally tough and this allows less fibre to be used without diminishing the wearing potential. The old perception of man-made fibres being more prone to soiling is no longer valid as many of these carpets have added stain and spill protection.
Velvets
These carpets have a smooth fine finish and give an expensive refined look. One disadvantage of this type of carpet is that they are prone to show ‘shading’ i.e. light and dark patches in main traffic areas. Nearly all are plain colours and most have high wool content.
Saxony
These are deep pile carpets giving a luxury look and feel, available in manmade and wool yarns.These carpets will show vacuum marks so if you do not like this effect this is not the type of carpet for you.
Axminster & Wiltons
Woven carpets that are at the higher price points. They are very hard wearing and durable carpets available in plain twist and velvets, but mainly patterned carpets. Some are traditional pattern but many are in modern contemporary designs 100% manmade Wiltons are also available and these are a very hard wearing, lower priced alternative to wool.
Flotex
A unique ‘flocked’ carpet made from nylon. Flotex is virtually indestructible and will last for years and years! It is mostly fitted to kitchens and bathrooms as it has an impervious backing, making it water proof and washable. It is suitable for any very heavy wear areas as it is also designed for commercial usage.
