Durability, colour, texture and purchasing power
are all important factors when choosing the ideal
carpet for your next application. Not only should
your flooring look great, but they should feel great.
Most modern carpets produced in Australia
are either woven or tufted. Woven carpets (often known as Axminster or Wilton)
are more labour intensive to manufacture but allow for unlimited designs.
You can expect to pay more for a woven carpet but for prestige and durability woven
carpets remain popular. Tufted Carpets are made by inserting
yarn into a backing cloth. The yarn forms a loop.
A loop pile carpet (or Berber) may be level (creating a tight durable
construction), Berber (or Tweed) using thicker tufted yarns. Heavily textured carpets (sisal/cord)
often appear with alternating low and high lines with a natural plant fibre appearance The top of
the loop may be cut forming a cut pile surface. The tufted cloth is then attached to an adhesive
latex backing which is then secured to a backing fabric.
Patterned tufted carpets (carved or sculptured pile) use both cut and loop pile. Cut pile and loop
both give high durability, with loop the most wear resistant. Hard twist cut pile carpets (Frieze)
are made from twisted tufts which are heat set at the surface giving a modern updated look to a
room. Shag pile tufts are long creating a soft low density carpet. Most carpets are made from Nylon
(polyamide), wool or polypropylene.
Wool and nylon blends are also popular. Each material make excellent carpet. You can be assured of
quality at the Carpet Selection Centre as our carpets from Cavalier Bremworth Limited, Chaparral Carpet
Mills, Feltex Carpet (including Redbook), Godfrey Hirst Australia and Norman Ellison Carpets are all
graded by the ACCS (Australian Carpet Classification Scheme) and come with a star rating. This
classification scheme is run by the Carpet Institute of Australia and ensures peace of mind when buying
from the Carpet Selection Centre.
