To give you some idea of the carpet fibres we stock, take a look at our fibre range below and for a more detailed appraisal of your carpet requirements please contact us or drop into our rocklea showroom today.
Wool
Wool carpets have the most luxurious feel. Their subtle beauty can increase your enjoyment of any room. Wool’s unique fibre structure makes it durable and hardwearing, so wool carpets keep their appearance longer.
Wool carpets can feel cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Wool has innate stain resistance properties, allowing spills to be cleaned more easily. It is also flame retardant and acts as an insulator, helping to reduce ambient noise. For more information on wool carpets go to the Woolmark website at www.wool.com.
Nylon - (also known as polyamide)
Nylon is usually regarded as a highly versatile fibre type. It can be constructed into virtually any style, and the nylon/synthetic fibres are extremely resistant to stains (provided they have been properly treated).
Carpets made with nylon/synthetic fibres provide long-term resilience and durability. Colour choice is greatly increased because nylon fibres accept dye more readily than other fibres, providing you with scope to choose a carpet that will suit your style and needs.
Wool / Nylon Blends
Blend carpets are made up of varying percentages of wool and synthetic fibres, offering the resilience and durability of nylon fibres with the natural appearance and luxurious feel of wool.
Used primarily in Cut Plush Pile and Twist Pile carpet styles, the added composition of nylon fibres assist in holding the twist definition, therefore providing improved wearing ability and reduced shedding from short fibres.
Solution Dyed Nylon
Solution Dyed Nylon (SDN) offers complete consistency in colour as well as improved colourfastness against light. Pigment and polymer are mixed before extrusion, giving SDN the potential to create a palette of over 1,000,000 colour combinations.
SDN is treated with lifetime anti-static protection. It offers long-term resilience, durability and superior stain resistance. Because SDN is nonporous the fibre can resist stains and odours.
Fibrelon
Fibrelon is a new generation fibre incorporating the latest in co-polymer technology. This unique composition of new synthetic fibres has been engineered to give a wool-like appearance with the benefits of a synthetic carpet.
The unique fibre construction of Fibrelon provides enhanced stain resistance by applying stain resistant properties to each individual fibre. Fibrelon’s unique technology provides advanced colour performance. Because of the ultra violet properties and colour lock techniques applied to each individual fibre, Fibrelon has long lasting colourfastness and brightness.
Polypropylene - (also known as Olefin)
Manufactured using synthetic fibres, polypropylene fibres have many similar properties and benefits as nylon fibres. Polypropylene yarn has excellent colourfastness properties with the incidence of sunlight and ozone fading greatly reduced, and also contains anti-static properties. Carpets manufactured using polypropylene yarn provide value for the budget conscious consumer.
