Carpet
Carpet adds comfort, warmth, and modern durability — a soft, stylish choice for everyday living
Look
Nowadays, carpets have only one thing in common: they are all made of bound fibers. The colour, pattern and pile are widely diverse. Choose any colour from neutral beige to bold primary, any pattern from standard ‘saxony’ to ornate ‘berber,’ and any ‘pile’ from tight to 70’s shag.
Feel
There are three factors that affect how a carpet feels: the ‘construction,’ meaning how the carpet is manufactured, the main types being ‘saxony,’ ‘frieze,’ ‘cut & loop’ and ‘berber’; the softness of the carpet, determined by the ‘denier’; and the type of fiber, either nylon, polyester, SmartStrand or wool.
Performance
Modern manufacturing has made quality carpet lines more stain resistant, cleanable and longer lasting than ever. Read our blog on How to choose the right carpet to learn more about these technologies and the factors that affect a carpet’s performance.

Which Room?
Carpet is best suited for resting spaces like bedrooms, living rooms and entertainment rooms. High moisture rooms where spills are common, such as the kitchen and bathroom, are not fit for carpet.
Nylon & Polyester Carpet
Most carpet is made with either nylon or polyester fibres. Both are a synthetic material, but they have opposing virtues: nylon carpet is more resilient while polyester carpet is more stain resistant.
SmartStrand Carpet
SmartStrand is a cutting edge new fiber that has the best of both worlds: it has the stain resistance of polyester and the resilience of nylon. SmartStrand is a great choice for a high performing carpet.
Wool Carpet
Wool carpet is designed by the most brilliant engineer of all time: nature. Wool is naturally stain resistant, water resistant and resilient. Wool carpet is sophisticated, durable, and brings a bit of nature into the home.
