Q) What is quality carpet made of?

A) The best High quality carpet is made using a mixture of wool and nylon. It does come with a price tag, but if you invest in one, you will be delighted with the carpets performance.

High quality wool/nylon carpet will wear incredibly well, it will keep it’s looks and shape better than any man-made carpet. It may not be bleachable, but with a little care and thought, you will have a carpet that will meet all your expectations.

There is good quality man-made carpet. Most of them are bleachable and are tough. However, the trade off is the way the carpet keeps it’s appearance. 

Polypropylene carpets are by far the most popular and there is a new generation of bleachable solution dyed carpets which are excellent. These have the advantage of keeping of flattening less.

So, the disadvantage in the lack of appearance retention is balanced in price and then by the timescale you will have the carpet down for.

Plain carpet is more than 75% of carpet sales in the UK and you will replace a plain carpet because it is looking tired rather than it being worn out. Plainer styles of carpet show the wear and tear in a room more distinctly than a pattern carpet will. So bear this in mind when selecting the price, quality and construction of your new carpet.
