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.

As you are starting to see there are so many options when it comes to choosing the right carpet, so rather than you becoming a total flooring expert you should visit our website on the below link and then us call us on 0800 367 773 for a free consultation before you rush out and select you new carpet.

Wool carpet and nylon carpet have various features and benefits which would be better suited to some installation environments than others. Rather than fixate on what your carpet is made from, we suggest you use the chart on our website (see link  the bottom of this post) to help you prioritise which qualities you require from your new carpet.

If, like most New Zealanders, your home is infiltrated with sunlight and you are concerned about fading, select a premium-quality solution dyed carpet with a guarantee against UV fading. Make sure this is a UV fade warranty and not just a colour fast warranty, as colour fast generally does not cover you against UV fade on your flooring.

If you have allergy sufferers in your household, select a man-made-fibre carpet that is guaranteed not to shed or pill.

If you have children, pets, accident-prone or incontinent household members, select a 100% solution dyed carpet with a 100% solution dyed backing.

If you have underfloor heating, make sure this won’t create problems for the carpet or underlay – and that neither will affect the heating.

If you desire a highly-coloured patterned carpet, select a woven wool/nylon Axminster or printed nylon carpet. Our wool ranges are fantastic for custom colouring  carpets in any pattern or even plain cut pile carpets.
