Level Loop Pile Carpets Hertfordshire

Level Loop Pile Carpets Hertfordshire

Level Loop Pile Carpets HertfordshireA level loop pile carpet is manufactured by a loop structure. The loops of the thread or yard are evenly looped into the backing material of the carpet at both ends. Level loop pile carpets are extremely hard wearing and are considered to be one of the more durable types of carpet. Loop pile carpets will typically have a natural appearance despite the carpets often being manufactured using synthetic materials.

There are a range of different height of loops which can be achieved with higher pile carpets creating a more luxurious effect. However, the higher the loops the more difficult the carpet will be to clean as fibres and dirt can potentially get trapped under the loops of the level loop pile carpet.

Level loop pile carpet can be used in high traffic areas, although this type of carpet is not recommended for houses with pets, due to the loops in the carpet, as this will potentially get snagged by pets claws, which can result in damage to the loops.

Level loop pile carpets are manufactured in a wide range of materials, although the most popular are synthetic fibres, or a blend of synthetic fibres with wool.

In terms of maintenance, level loop pile carpets are relatively easy to maintain and they will require a weekly vacuum, and an annual professional clean. The vacuuming is design to pull up any stray materials and the professional clean will dislodge any stray materials and dirt which is trapped underneath the fibres. Regular cleaning will ensure that you maintain your level loop pile carpet for the maximum useful life.

Herts Carpets provide level loop pile carpets in St Albans, Watford, Radlett, Bushey, Borehamwood, London Colney, Hatfield, Welwyn Garden City, Hemel Hempstead, Harpenden and across the remainder of the county.

Saxony Carpets Hertfordshire

Saxony Carpets Hertfordshire

Saxony Carpet HertfordshireA Saxony carpet is made of twisted fibres which are designed to stand up straight with a cut loop pile. Saxony carpets are designed to be extremely comfortable with a soft and comfortable feeling underfoot. Saxony carpets are typically hard wearing whilst giving a luxurious feel through bedrooms and living areas, due to their construction they are also relatively hardwearing and long lasting.

Our clients love Saxony carpets. They have the comfort and luxury feel that most people desire in their homes. Due to the nature of their construction they do leave marks from footprints and from vacuuming therefore we do not advise our clients to use them in the more highly trafficked areas of properties. That said it is possible to get textured Saxony carpets which will cover these marks up.

Leaving furniture on a Saxony carpet will inevitably leave indentations, therefore if you do want a Saxony carpet in your living room it is recommended that you get a Saxony textured carpet as this will make sure that you don’t end up with unsightly dips in your carpet. Alternatively you can periodically shift the furnishings in the room to ensure that the dips in the carpet do not get too big.

Ensuring that you clean your Saxony carpet is extremely important to ensure that you maintain its lifespan. If treated properly a Saxony carpet can last for between 15-20 years. To do this your Saxony carpet will need vacuuming on a weekly basis, with a professional carpet clean at least once per year. This stops dirt and grit getting into the carpet fibres and ensuring that the carpet is maintained in its best possible form.

Herts Carpets offer a wide range of Saxony carpets with both plain, textured and coloured Saxony carpets available from us. These tend not to be the cheapest ranges, however, they look and feel great when fitted.

Loop Pile Carpets Hertfordshire

Loop Pile Carpets Hertfordshire

A loop pile carpet is made from uncut loops of material which are looped through the carpet fabric and are typically available both flat and textured depending on the finish which is desired and also the material which is selected. Cut pile carpets are typically loop pile carpets where the loops have been cut!

The loops in a loop pile carpet will typically have rugged appearance, and these carpets are generally considered to be one of the more hardwearing types of carpets and are appropriate for higher traffic areas, such as hallways and stairs.

Loop pile carpets provide a contemporary and comfortable finish for your flooring requirements and are an ideal carpet for families or higher traffic households.

Loop pile carpets are typically not recommended for households with pets, as pets claws can (sometimes intentionally) get into the loops which will in turn cause threads to be pulled across the carpets, which can be a fiddly and sometimes costly accident to rectify.

A loop pile carpet can be expected to last above 15 years if it is correctly maintained and well treated. Herts Carpets recommend for all carpets that you hoover at least once per week, and then get the carpet professionally cleaned at least once per year. This will reduce the grit and fibres that get caught up in the carpet and reduce the speed at which it deteriorates along with reducing the stains contained on the carpet.

Loop pile carpets can be manufactured from a wide range of different materials, from synthetic fibres to wool. Synthetic fibres tend to be cheaper, and also are generally more stain resistant which can be useful for households with children.

Loop pile carpets, depending on the material from which they are manufactured, do tend to be very soft and are generally an extremely comfortable carpet underfoot.

Herts Carpets offer a wide range of Loop Pile Carpets across Hertfordshire, including Carpets in St Albans, Carpets in Harpenden, Carpets in Radlett, Carpets in Watford, Carpets in Hemel Hempstead, Carpets in Welwyn Garden City and Carpets in Hatfield.

Cut Pile Carpet Hertfordshire

Cut pile carpets are a type of carpet manufacturing which provide customers with a very luxurious feel to their carpet. All carpets begin as a loop pile, which is effectively loops of material, and then with a cut pile carpet the loops are cut.

There are a wide range of carpets which incorporate a cut pile, and these include some of the most popular, being plush, Saxony and frieze.

Cut Pile Carpets are generally considered to be good for families or with pets, as the carpet is not looped and therefore cannot be snagged by a child or a pet. The positives of cut pile carpets is that there a wide range of different colours and materials out of which the carpet can be manufactured as well as a wide range of different colours and price points, which are obviously subject to materials provided etc.

The negatives around cut pile carpets is that the carpets do sometimes fray, which will create a frayed looked which will create an uneven tread if this is to happen. This is less common with the more expensive ranges, and realistically is more likely to happen in high traffic areas, where a Berber may be more appropriate, this is not going to happen overnight, and you should expect a minimum of 5+ years good wear out of the carpet before this needs to be replaced.

It is also possible to get cut and loop pile carpets which is a combination of loops and cut pile. This gives different textures in the carpet and can be a great way of creating patterns in the carpet.

In reality whether you choose a loop pile or a cut pile carpet this really doesn’t take into consideration the quality of the carpet, each material and manufacturer will be aiming at a different part of the marketplace.
