How to choose a carpet that’s right for your home?
Not all carpets are created equal and not every carpet will serve the same purpose. That's why a good place to begin is by considering your lifestyle and preferences.
Start with questions like: Do I have an active home with kids or pets? Will there be a lot of foot traffic? How do I feel about maintenance? Remember to factor in your home’s interior design as well as budget. Also, don’t forget to compare fibres to see what works in your home.

Natural wool is a luxurious material for your residential carpet. It is tactile, soft and resists dirt easily. The fabric is also a natural flame-retardant. With care, wool has the potential to last a lifetime. Thus, maximising the ROI on your flooring investment.
Nylon
Nysoft™ is found in all premium Signature carpets. This is an ultra-soft new-age nylon yarn. Some of nylon's greatest attributes are its easy cleaning and stain-resisting properties. This makes it particularly suited for busy families and pets.
SDN
Solution Dyed Nylon (SDN) is created by adding colour to the fibre while in liquid form. Typically, it has colour all the way through it. This lends SDN a new level of stain resistance and fade performance. A breakthrough material in carpet construction.
Polypropylene
Polypropylene fibre is not only durable and colourfast but also stain and moisture-resistant. What's more, it's easy to maintain. Choose this budget-friendly carpet for busy and active homes.
Polyester
Polyester carpets feel lush underfoot and are available in bright colour options. Beautiful and budget-friendly, it’s a superb all-round twist carpet that takes the knocks of a busy household while looking great. This fade-resistant carpet is usually built from recycled PET plastics.
Twist
Cut pile twist is popular carpet construction. In that cut fibres are twisted tightly for a more robust style. As a result, these carpets have a textured appearance compared to a plush pile carpet. This flooring product is ideal for heavy traffic areas.
Loop
As the name suggests, fibres are formed into little loops and stuck to the backing. This construction lends to carpeting durability and helps it hide dirt easily. Loops can be tall, short, tight or loosely constructed. Loop pile carpets offer a smoother surface.
Plush
Plush pile carpets are cut to a uniform height for a smooth and sleek finish. They are crafted using wool or synthetic fibres and have a silky, velvety appearance. These carpets can leave tracking marks from walking or vacuuming. Use them in low-traffic areas like bedrooms.
Woven
Unlike tufted carpets, the woven style involves interlocking the pile and backing yarns for added durability and a plush look and feel. Weaving is a traditional carpet construction method using looms with patterns woven into the carpet – also popularly known as Axminster.
