Carpets

When it comes to giving your home a facelift, carpets are a great place to start. That’s because carpets as flooring are a quick and convenient way to give a boost to a whole room.

Carpets come in many different styles and patterns, of course, but carpets also come in different carpet types which are all useful for different kinds of flooring situations.

Wool carpets are the traditional carpet choice, being hardwearing and very soil resistant carpets. These carpets look good for a long time, and sometimes come with synthetic materials blended into them for extra carpet durability.

Synthetic carpets come in a number of kinds, with carpets stocked by United Carpets made of both polypropylene and polyamide. Carpets made of polypropylene are a fantastic carpeting choice in areas where there may be a lot of spills on the flooring, because these carpets are manufactured in such a way that they can even be cleaned with a solution of bleach.

Polyamide carpets make great flooring because they are both tough and available in bright colours and lively patterns.

You can choose your carpets and flooring in several types of pile, too – that’s the part of the carpet that sticks up and gives the carpet texture.

Carpet made of twisted yarn is called Twist pile, and carpets in this kind of finish are very popular at the moment. Berber carpets have a smoother finish because the carpets are made of loops of yarn, creating a modern, contemporary flooring finish.

Some carpets such as Saxony are made of trimmed-off tufts, giving the carpet pile of different lengths, while some carpets combine both cut and loop pile to give a textured flooring finish.

That’s a lot of different carpets to choose from – but United Carpets’ flooring experts can help you make the carpet choice that is right for your home and your lifestyle.
