About Carpet
Carpet has so many things going for it. It’s soft, safe, warm and quiet. It’s stain-resistant and gives excellent value for the price—and it saves energy. Carpet is also proven to trap allergens and dander (which can easily be removed with the right vacuum used regularly).
We stock hundreds of the very best carpets with big brands, types, styles and prices you can choose from to suit any lifestyle and budget. We know that can get a bit overwhelming.
Which Carpet Fiber?
Polypropylene
This man-made carpet fibre is a popular choice, because it’s hardwearing, the cheapest carpet material and resistant to stains. It can also be cleaned using a part-bleached cleaning solution.
Polyester
Polyester is prized for its ability to hold vibrant, fade-resistant colors. The fiber is also non-allergenic. In many cases, this material is made from recycled plastic bottles, making it eco-friendly. Its main drawback is that it is prone to flattening under weight, making it a bad choice for high-traffic areas.
Nylon
Nylon is very soft, durable, and resistant to stains and abrasion. The highly resilient fibers can be revived by steam-cleaning to restore much of their original loft. Nylon is the most popular carpet material and is used in roughly three-quarters of all manufactured carpeting.
Wool
Wool provides comfort underfoot whilst insulating your home and helping to reduce energy costs. It absorbs sound to give a sense of calm and tranquillity and is naturally fire resistant too. The protective natural waxy coating on wool fibres makes wool products resistant to staining and a wool carpet will also pick up less dust as wool is naturally anti-static.
