Wool
Wool carpets provide unsurpassed luxurious softness, they are renowned for outstanding performance and natural health benefits:
As a naturally flame resistant fibre, wool is a safe choice for carpet flooring.
Wool’s natural ability to regulate air moisture, control humidity and absorb pollutants can help improve the air quality in your home.
Wool has natural noise absorbing properties providing a peaceful and pleasant environment.
Solution Dyed Nylon
Solution dyed carpet is where the actual colour is added to the molten nylon polymer before the yarn is made offering excellent colour retention, resistance to fading and excellent cleaning properties, as stronger cleaning chemicals can be used in most cases without stripping the colour from the outside of the fibre.
Nylon is the leading fibre used in carpet production around the world. Nylon carpets are outstanding in their ability to resist abrasive wear, loss of pile fibre due to foot traffic and resilience in recovering from pile crushing.
Special treatments can be applied to minimise soiling and to maximise colour clarity also improving the cleanability of the carpet.
One of the outstanding advantages of our nylon carpets is the huge selection of colours which are available with this fibre.
Polypropylene and Polyester
Polypropylene fibres have many similar properties and benefits as nylon fibres.
Polypropylene yarn has excellent colourfastness properties with the incidence of sunlight and ozone fading greatly reduced, and also contains anti-static properties.
Carpets manufactured using polypropylene yarn provide value for the budget conscious.
Polyester is another synthetic fibre. Polyester offers excellent stain & fade resistance as well as performance and value for money.
Polyester fibre is often made from recycled materials making it more environmentally friendly.
