CARPET FIBRES

Polypropylene $

  • A great value budget friendly flooring solution,  Polypropylene carpet is resistant to moisture and staining. This entry-level carpet is an ideal budget friendly choice for refreshing your interior, well suited to low traffic areas, rental properties and playrooms. 

Polyester $$

  • Pairs softness and style, for less. Comfortable and stylish with the perfect balance of performance and value, polyester is ideal for updating your home interior on a budget.
  • Made from closed-cell fibres, polyester carpets do not have any open dye sites for stains to adhere to, making them stain resistant.
  • Polyester carpets offer a velvet like handle, softness and flexibility in both colour and design. The inherently bulkier yarns can offer heavy, soft textured carpets that feel cosy and luxurious underfoot.
  • This fibre type is best suited to low traffic areas within the home as it is not as resilient as some other more expensive fibres. We recommend you choose  polyester carpets with a higher pile and medium-high density to ensure maximum appearance retention and longer wear.

Solution Dyed Nylon $$$

  • The true all-rounder, stain resistant, durable and resilient, as well as stylish and comfortable, solution dyed nylon (SDN) is a popular carpet choice for young families and busy households alike. With correct maintenance, SDN carpet will continue to look impressive for many years.
  • The demands of everyday family life can mean constant activity, wear and tear in the home. With great durability, stain and fade resistance, a solution dyed nylon carpet will endure through everyday messes.
  • The polymers that make up solution dyed nylon carpets are coloured using only the very best quality colour pigments available. These solution dyed nylon fibres are then processed into yarns suitable for tufting into carpet. This means the colour is locked into the core of the yarn fibres prior to the manufacture of the carpet.
  • Solution dyed nylon carpets are treated to repel stains for easy maintenance, to handle those messy moments in life.

Triextra $$$$

  • The Natural Performer. You can live worry free with this soft, high-performing triexta carpet that is ideal for busy family households. Constructed with high performing and partially renewably sourced materials, triexta offers exceptional stain, soil, wear and fade resistance. It is also incredibly soft and cleans with just water.
  • Permanent stain resistance is built into the core of each fibre that will never wear or wash off so you can clean most spills with just water. The spring-like triexta fibre molecules ensure your carpet will bounce back into shape after vacuuming, even after years of foot traffic.
  • Triextra carpet is manufactured locally in Australia from innovative triexta yarn, which is derived in part from renewable plant based ingredients. The breakthrough triexta fibre technology means that no topical stain treatment is needed, and spills can be cleaned with just water for chemical free cleaning.
  • Pets play a big role in many peoples lives, one of the biggest considerations for pet-owners is finding the right flooring. With built-in stain resistance to protect against pet mishaps, an extra durable fibre structure and superior softness, Triextra carpets are ideal for homes with pets.

Wool $$$$$

  • Adds unmistakable elegance to interior spaces. The natural beauty of wool stems from the inherent complexity of the fibre itself, evolved to protect sheep, no matter the conditions! That’s why we still wear wool, sleep with wool, insulate with wool and enjoy walking on wool.
  • Wool carpet is a natural insulator, helping to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer. Because of wool’s natural inbuilt crimp, air is retained in millions of tiny pockets which provide an insulating effect, thus creating a comfortable environment.
  • Wool carpet is ideal for allergy and asthma suffers as it does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould and mildew. This reduces the likelihood of spores, and volatile organic compounds from developing in the home, helping to prevent allergies and respiratory problems. Wool fibre also deters the growth of dust mites – the most common single cause of asthma.
  • As a natural resource, wool fibre is both renewable and biodegradable. When wool fibre is disposed of, it will naturally decompose in soil in a matter of months or years, slowly releasing valuable nutrients back into the earth.

MANUFACTURERS

Dunlop Flooring

Dunlop Flooring is the Australian market leader in carpet underlay solutions, and have over 40 years’ experience improving flooring performance, Dunlop believe that beautiful floors are the heart of any home. An underlay’s density represents how much foam is packed into each cubic metre of the underlay.

A high-value density will indicate a better quality underlay (more foam, less air!). As a rule, the higher these numbers, the more luxurious and supportive the carpet underlay will feel. The higher the density, the longer the life of your carpet!
