  • Choosing a Carpet Colour

     Top 4 hints for choosing carpet colours:

     

     

     

    1. Choose a carpet colour “before your paint colour.” It is far easier to mix a paint colour to match the carpet, than it will be to find a carpet in a colour to match your paint.
    2. Choose dark or strong colours in heavy traffic areas and try to keep the same colour in areas where that carpet joins another carpeted room.
    3. Choose a carpet from the dye lot on the roll! All Carpet samples state in the fine print that dyelot variations will occur from batch to batch. You would be amazed how much they can vary from a sample. And if the sample is older, the difference can be substantial. The best way to ensure the colour you choose is the same, is to see the actual stock roll you will be buying from, on display.
    4. Choose durable quality carpets to maintain a clean looking carpet, no matter what colour.
    5. Cheaper yarns like the polypropylene do not handle soiling well in light colours, and the cheaper polyseter may not have the same structural yarn memory of a nylon fibre. Polyester carpets may flatten out and look terrible in a medium to heavy use area.  The perfect colour can be useless if the carpet looks lifeless and matted. Although these soft and comfy carpet may feel luxurious under foot, It is important to take into consideration how softer carpet may handle the test of time. Quite often a firmer loop pile wool with a nice thick high quality underlay will feel just as nice under foot and usually out last any thick pile synthetic carpet. It can also be substantially cheaper than ordering a thick pile carpet that is less likely to peform in traffic areas of your home or commercial space.

    Choosing a carpet colour – more tips.

     

    As previously mentioned, there are limited colours available in carpets and infinite colour options available in paint.

    To avoid disappointment or the expense of having to have a carpet colour custom made (yes we have done this) choose a carpet colour before settling on your paint and curtain colour scheme.

    Bring in your colour paint samples (or curtain swatches) and compare them to our full size rolls on display. This is the easiest and closest you will get to seeing how your carpet will look on the floor.

  • Carpet Quality Choices

    Choosing a Quality

    Rental – for budget rental properties, poly commercial carpet is often chosen for it’s Durability, it’s stain proof fiber and low cost.

     

    Poly carpets are available mainly in loop pile construction (definitions of pile construction are listed below), in both commercial patterned styles and the popular sisal look. A Poly carpet is solution dyed and almost impossible to stain. It aslo resists ware, is static free and when exchanging tenants, a professional carpet clean can rejuvenate a poly carpet so well, it can seems like new carpet for the next tenant.

    For higher end rental properties we also recommend Nylons and wools in loop Piles are preferred for added durability and life.

    A dark coloured loop pile wool in a heavy use commercial areas will most likely out last any other yarn in terms of appearance over time.

    For more information on commercial carpets you can discuss your needs in our store.

    Home – For your own home Carpet factory recommends nylon, or wool carpet, depending on your budget and lifestyle. If you have young children and expect your carpet to sustain heavy usage and possible spills in the short term, we would suggest a stain treated nylon carpet with a protection like Stainblock, Scotchguard or Stainmaster.

    If you prefer something a little more luxurious Carpet Factory recommends a pure wool or high wool content blend carpet for it’s crush resistance and luxurious look and feel. Wool carpets are superior in many ways to synthetic and blends. In the right application there is no substitute for wool. Plus Wool fibre is, in our opinion, really the most eco friendly renewable fiber for your floor.

    “If you truly want an eco friendly carpet, Buy Pure Wool”*

    This statement is often agreed to by all major Carpet Manufacturing Representatives Including including Norman Ellison*

    Many customers thought price of wool carpet was out of their price range!

    However after visiting Carpet Factory, they found the price to be well within their budget.

    Most have found Carpet Factory’s wool carpets to be cheaper than the synthetics available at other stores.

    “I searched for a quote at all the other stores to find better price for the same wool carpet for three bedrooms. Carpet Factory was able to beat all other quotes by almost $1000.00! I was amazed at your price. Thankyou” 

    Julie M. (Fadden)

    Commercial – Commercial applications require consideration and thought when choosing a carpet.For a budget option, Carpet Factory stocks many low cost commercial rated carpets. For applications with high usage, fire rating requirements, computer safe and design considerations, our friendly staff have the knowledge and expertise to provide the best solution for your needs.

  • Carpet Styles

    Carpet Pile Styles

     

    Carpets are available in various pile constructions.

    The most common form of domestic carpet is the cut (plush or twist) pile.

    The most common form of commercial carpet is a loop pile.

    Loop piles are comprised of an uncut continuous loop of fibre and tend to be a harder wearing construction.

    Plush (or twist) piles have had the loops in the pile cut during the manufactureing process, giving a softer, richer feel and comfort.

    __________________________________________________

    Plush

    “Plush” is a cut pile carpet that offers a plush, almost velvety finish. Each tuft is cut at the same height to create a luxuriously smooth finish. Plush pile carpets often show shades, adding to the character of the carpet.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    • Plush piles are are available and peform best in pure Nylon stain treated fibre, and high content Wool Blend fibres.
    • an 80% wool mix tends to be the best peformer in a wool blend, as the synthetic mix in high end wool blend provides strength and locks the wool fibres together in the cut pile, without compromising the excellent peformance qualities of the high wool content.

    __________________________________________________

    Sisal / Cord / High Low Loop

    Yarn is left in a loop, and is not cut to open tufts. As the name suggests the loops of the carpet are in rows of varying height, providing a stylish textured appearance that is durable and hard wearing.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    (Please note, the name Sisal comes from natural woven plant fibres of sisal flooring, however it is now more comonly used to describe Sisal Look, or (high-low loop) Cord carpets made, not from sisal yarn, but from wool or synthetic fibres.

    • Sisal/ Cord Loop piles are avialable in pure wool, 50/50 wool blends and pure synthetics.
    • Pure wools cords are the best peformers in the long term, and are one of the most common forms of top of the line commercial carpets.
    • 50/50 wool blends are the alternative to the luxurious pure wool look, without the higher price tag.
    • and synthetic Sisal loop piles (most commonly made from polypropeleyne) are an excellent choice for rental propertys. Due to their stain proof druable fibre and tendency to steam clean well poly sisal carpets clean up well for the next prospective tennant.

    Cut Twist Pile

    “Twist” is a cut pile carpet that provides a rugged surface texture. Two or more yarns of fibre are twisted together, leaving each tuft of the carpet with a twist, adding texture, character and wearability to the carpet. Twist piles retain the softness and plush feel of a plush pile however the over twisting of the yarn helps hide the shading velvet look of a plush pile.

     

     

     

     

     

    • Twist piles are avialable in high quality high wool blends (80/20) wool blends (50/50) and pure synthetics.
