Embrace Cosy Comfort with CARPETS
Carpets, also known as conventional or broadloom carpets, are more than just floor covering – they are timeless companions for your home and commercial space. Their soft embrace offers warmth, comfort, and a welcoming hush under your feet.
They come in various colours, textures, and styles, offering numerous opportunities to personalise your living space.
Whether you are looking for plush luxury in your bedroom or practical durability for high-traffic areas, there is a perfect carpet out there waiting for you.
Types of Carpets
Carpets come in a variety of types, each with its unique characteristics:
Low Pile Carpet: These carpets have short fibres that look and feel flat and dense. They are ideal for high-traffic areas due to their durability and ease of cleaning.
Medium Pile Carpet: Offering a balance between comfort and ease of cleaning, medium pile carpets are perfect for living rooms and bedrooms.
High Pile Carpet: With long, loose fibres, these carpets are plush and comfortable, making them perfect for creating a cosy atmosphere.
A broadloom metre refers to a one-meter length of carpet that spans the entire width of the carpet roll, typically 3.66 metres (or 12 feet).
They are designed for wall-to-wall installation, creating a seamless and unified look in your rooms. Unlike modular carpets or carpet tiles, they come in single, large rolls, minimising seams and maximising visual appeal.
But the beauty of Broadloom goes beyond its seamlessness. They offer a rich tapestry of choices.
You can choose from various materials, each with unique advantages and catering to different needs and budgets.
- Nylon: The undisputed king of durability, nylon carpets are stain-resistant, easy to clean, and perfect for high-traffic areas.
- Polyester: Budget-friendly and vibrant polyester carpets offer various colours and patterns.
- Wool: For those seeking the ultimate luxury, wool carpets are incredibly soft, naturally stain-resistant, and provide superior insulation.
Exploring Pile Styles
While the materials used are crucial, the world of broadloom carpets goes deeper than just nylon or wool. Their character truly shines through in their pile styles, each with its own distinct personality:
Cut Pile
Picture smooth, velvety softness underfoot. Cut pile carpets boast evenly sheared fibres, available in various plush heights to suit your needs, from luxurious sink-in comfort to sleek and modern.
Loop Pile
Durability takes centre stage here. Loop pile carpets feature uncut fibres that form resilient loops, making them perfect for high-traffic areas like hallways or commercial spaces. They offer a practical yet textured look that stands up to wear and tear.
Cut-Loop Pile
This style blends the best of both worlds. Imagine the plushness of a cut pile intertwined with the practicality of a loop pile, creating a unique, stylish, and durable texture. Cut-loop carpets are a versatile choice for those who want a little bit of everything.
The Secrets of Installation
Broadloom carpets require proper installation for optimal performance and visual appeal. This generally involves:
Preparing the subfloor – Ensuring a level and smooth surface is crucial for a flawless carpet installation.
Laying the underlay – A carpet underlay adds cushioning, noise reduction, and thermal insulation, extending the carpet’s lifespan and enhancing comfort.
Securing the carpet – Broadloom carpets are typically stretched and secured using tack strips or grippers along the walls, ensuring a tight and wrinkle-free installation.
Remember, carpets are an investment in the comfort, beauty, and functionality of your home and commercial spaces. By understanding the different types and considerations, you can choose the perfect CARPET to elevate your space.
