Carpet Guide

 

Choosing a new carpet, whether for a domestic or commercial property in Wirral, is a big decision. The right carpet can completely transform a room or building and it is important to make the right choice in terms of look and practicality. When browsing carpet showrooms for the perfect match and booking flooring services, you will come across terms such as pile, woven and tufted. Below, you can find brief descriptions of these common terms.

 

Woven – Traditional form of making carpets, where the pile and backing yarns are woven together with a loom.

 

Tufted – One of the most popular styles of carpet in Wirral, tufted carpets are made using specialised multi-needle sewing machines.

 

Pile – The amount of yarn used to make the carpet is known as pile, the deeper the pile the more luxurious the feel, but short pile is more hard wearing.

 

Twist – The number of times the carpet fibres have been twisted, carpets with a higher twist will be stronger and more resistant to foot traffic.

 

Wilton – A manufacturer of luxurious, high-quality carpets, known for using the traditional Wilton weave method which involves weaving the yarn in a continuous thread.

 

Velvet – Another luxurious carpet covering, with a dense pile and cut pile finish to create a very soft and velvety finish.
