Unravelling Carpet Weaves Offered By Carpet Companies In Sydney
There are plenty of options available when choosing the most appropriate carpeting. Carpet companies in Sydney offer a range of alternative styles with varying characteristics making each one suited for different applications.
Carpets are created by weaving yarn in and out of the backing material, creating loops. The surface of the carpet is referred to as the pile. In cut pile carpets, the loops are snipped open. In loop pile carpets, the loops are left intact.
Here are the most common types of carpet variants and their attributes to assist in choosing the most desirable look, feel, and application.
Cut Pile Plush
Strands are short and slightly twisted. The feel is soft, smooth and luxurious, giving a formal appearance. Vacuuming tracks and footprints are clearly visible. Difficult to keep clean as dirt and liquids are easily trapped in a pile. Suitable for low traffic areas.
Cut Pile Twist
Strands are short and highly twisted, causing the pile to lie in different directions. The feel is soft and textured. Vacuuming tracks are footprints are less visible. Perfect for high traffic areas.
