Your Source of Carpets in Axminster, Devon

• Choosing the right carpet: When choosing a carpet for your home, it is important to not only consider style, colour and cost, but also how it will be used in your home. Hallways, living areas and dining areas will need a shorter, more robust carpet to better handle the high use. Bedrooms with less traffic can have a deeper, more luxurious carpet.

• Material Options: Natural materials such as wool (dyed and undyed) have the added benefit of being resilient, warm and comfortable to walk on, and are even fire resistant. Man-made carpets, such as those made with polypropylene fibres, can be more cost-effective, easily cleaned and water resistant.

• Pile Types: Both fibres are available in cut pile, which feels soft, or in loop pile, which gives a more contemporary feel and is firmer. The loops can be of varying sizes. The shorter and closer the loop, the harder wearing the carpet will be. The larger and more open ones feel softer but will not perform as well. Cut pile carpets are available in plain or patterned, where loop piles are generally plain or flecked.
