Loop Pile Carpet vs Cut Pile Carpet
Loop Pile and Cut Pile are the two predominant carpet styles in the marketplace today. Sometimes you may hear alternate terms such as Twist, Frieze, Berber or Plush - these are just subcategories of either a cut or loop pile carpet.

Wool: The natural choice for style and sustainability.
For centuries it’s been said that, when it comes to floor coverings, there is simply no substitute for wool; and that sentiment remains true today.
Wool’s inherent characteristics lend it a raft of practical benefits ideally suited to multi-residential living, including outstanding insulative qualities, remarkable softness, safety and longevity. Being a natural fibre, it’s also 100% sustainable and is produced with a fraction of the energy required for synthetics.
Yet these impressive facts tell only part of the story, for it’s how wool makes us feel that most clearly sets it apart. There is truly nothing like the effortless style and elegance of a living space defined by wool.
