Carpet can be one of your most costly spends in any interior fitout, if you make the wrong carpet choice now, it will cost you even more to rectify any flooring issues later down the track.

As the title of this article implies “carpet, carpet and more carpet” where should an interior designer, architect or end consumer start with their selection process when looking for carpet? With so much carpet available on the market both in New Zealand and around world it can be a confusing and daunting process choosing the right carpet.

Carpet fibre types such as premium solution dyed nylon (PSDN), standard solution dyed nylon (SDN), piece dyed nylon, 100% wool, 80% wool 20% nylon, polypropylene, polyester and more recently corn starch fibres, so what’s the right carpet fibre for your environment ?

Now there the decision on the carpets actual construction, will you select a cut pile carpet, loop pile carpet, cut pile and loop pile carpet (LCL or Level Cut Loop)  and will it be a tufted carpet, woven Axminster carpet, Wilton carpet, or maybe an industrial grade carpet such as needlepunch.

Carpet tile or broadloom carpet is you next option and most of the above listed carpet types come in both carpet tile and rolls.
