Twist Carpet

The popular twist pile carpet can come in a huge variety of colours and finishes. Ranging from loose twists giving a rugged natural look, to very tight twists which give a plush appearance.

They can be made from synthetic fibres, wool or a combination of the two. The commonly used mixture is 80% wool, 20% synthetic. This gives a soft natural feel due to the wool, as well as durability from the synthetic element.

Loop Pile Carpet

Looped carpet, often referred to as a Berber, can either be constructed as one level or multi levels. A level loop is where all the loops are the same height. This creates a practical and durable carpet, which can be made from synthetic fibres, wool or a combination of the two.

Alternatively, there is a multi level loop. In this case the height of the loop is varied to create a more patterned effect. One of the benefits of this random effect is that it can be very forgiving in high traffic areas.
