Your local Choices Flooring consultant will visit your home and undertake a FREE measure for the areas where flooring or window furnishings are required. It is essential that a professional Choices Flooring consultant undertakes measuring to ensure accuracy.

They are also aware of any anomalies such as pattern matches for some flooring options which most don’t understand. Most consultants will bring a range of samples to the home to showcase different options. It is advisable to keep the samples for a day or so to see how natural light during the day, and artificial light affects the colour over a 24 hour period.

The consultant will also inspect your existing flooring condition which assists in the installation process. Depending on the conditions, floor preparation may be required.

After the measuring and site inspection has been completed, some flooring consultants can provide a quote on the spot. Occasionally the flooring consultant may take a couple of days to supply a quote, pending stock availability, floor preparation and other installation components.

Generally, you will receive a quote within 24 – 48 hours of the initial measure and quote.

Carpet is measured in the old metric of Linear or ‘Broadloom’ metres – rather than square metres. A broadloom refers to the width of the loom which in most cases is 3.66 metres. However, in order to use a comparison to hard flooring which is sold in square metres, carpet is converted into square metres.

From carpet’s humble beginnings as wool-only luxury to today’s plethora of options, you’ll be sure to find the carpet fibre that’s just right for you. Whether you want all-natural fibres, or would prefer the latest technology offering that soft, quiet and yet durable, your home will beam with its new, cosy addition.

When we invest in new floors, it’s a labour of love - we’re creating the perfect home for our family. But no two families are the same. Some of us prefer the quiet, luxurious life, whereas others see a parade of dirty feet dash past us hundreds of times a day. When it comes to choosing your carpet fibre, it’s important to consider what type of family you are and exactly what you want from your carpet.

So what type of family home are you creating? And what type of look and feel do you want? To help you decide, we’ve explored all of our carpet fibres below, including detailed explanations of the features we know matter to you.

WOOL CARPET

What is wool carpet?

Visibly cosy, oh-so-soft to touch and a great natural insulator, wool carpet has long been the preferred choice for families in Australia and throughout the world.

Made from 100% pure natural wool, wool carpets are also a sustainable choice.

Why should I choose wool carpet?

Wool is the ultimate luxury when it comes to carpet. In winter, its supreme softness and warmth both feel delicious and help us keep our energy bills down. In summer, the natural acids found in the fibre help stop the growth of mould and mildew, making it ideal for hot days or warmer, more humid climates.

Wool carpet is also very durable. The natural waxy film on the fibre helps repel moisture, including spills and soling.

The cosiness and performance of wool carpet makes it ideal for families with small children who are just learning to crawl or walk.

Where is wool carpet suitable for?

Wool carpet suits most any room of the house. It will look great and wear well in your hallways, living rooms, bedrooms, dining room or on staircases.

NYLON & SOLUTION DYED NYLON CARPETS

What are nylon and solution dyed nylon carpets?

Soft, yet highly durable and exceptionally stain-resistant, nylon and solution dyed nylon carpets are superior in performance.

What are the benefits of nylon and solution dyed nylon carpets?

They are created to last. They’re top performing when it comes to longevity and their ability to withstand wear and tear.

The fibres within nylon carpets also have good elasticity. What this means is that even if they get a lot of love from various people, animals or items of furniture within the house, they’ll still be able to retain their beautiful shape.

They are colourfast, fade-resistant, and stain-resistant, making cleaning a breeze.

Where is nylon carpet suitable for?

Given its durability, nylon is a great carpet choice for busy households. It works well in your hallways, living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms or on staircases. It’s great for rentals too!

SYNTHETIC CARPETS (TRIEXTA, POLYPROPYLENE AND POLYESTER)

What are synthetic carpets?

Created from man-made or a combination of fibres, synthetic carpets feel and look beautiful but are also durable and resilient.

What are the benefits of synthetic carpets?

Soft and quiet, yet at the same time affordable and resilient, synthetic carpets are a worthy competitor for wool carpets. They have slightly different benefits depending on the type you choose:

Triexta: Triexta carpet is soft, nearly-natural option for those who don’t want a purely synthetic carpet. Made from renewable, natural cane sugar, Triexta and Triexta Soft feel luxurious but are also highly resistant to staining, wear and tear..

Polypropylene: Polypropylene and Advanced Technology Polypropylene are affordable, high- performing carpets. They’re exceptionally strong, making them a great choice for rumpus rooms or playrooms, as well as rental properties.

Polyester (PET): Polyester carpets are beautifully soft and comfortable - softer than both nylon and polypropylene. Many people can’t tell the difference between polyester and wool carpets and for good reason! Polyester carpets are as easy on the eye as they are on the feet, while still having exceptional fade and stain resistance properties.

Where is synthetic carpet suitable for?

Synthetic carpets go where you go, and that is to say - anywhere! They’ll suit hallways, living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms or staircases, and can work well in rental properties as well.

Is your home a haven of activity or a sanctuary of calm? Is durability more important to you, or is luxurious softness at the top of your agenda? Read on to discover what carpet styles might best suit you.

When most of us think of carpet, what comes to mind is the lush, toe-tickling softness we feel when we first walk on it, or the cosiness it will create when we’re rugged up on the couch in winter. While carpet definitely delivers on these qualities, we need to balance them with reality - our homes are there to be lived in! This means that qualities such as durability play an equally important part in our final decision.

What look do you want to create with your carpet? What other features are important in your home? To help you decide, we’ve explored all our carpet styles below, including detailed explanations of the features we know matter to you.

LOOP CARPET

What is loop carpet?

Elegant yet durable, loop carpet is a great choice if you want carpet that will look good and stand the test of time. We create loop carpet by threading individuals fibres through the carpet backing and then looping them over.

Why should I choose loop carpet?

As one of our sturdiest carpets, loop carpet is a must for any home or property that sees a lot of wear and tear. That said, it’s still possible (and indeed, likely!), that you’ll be able to create your perfect look with this timeless style.

Loop carpet is not only sturdy, it’s also resilient. The looped fibres in this style don’t crush or shift easily, meaning that they won’t show footprint or vacuuming imprints.

Finally, if you’re worried about maintenance with your carpet then choose loop - it’s easy to clean! The loops in the carpet mean that spills sit on the surface so they’re less likely to soak in.

Where is loop carpet suitable for?

Inside the house, loop carpet is perfect for heavy traffic areas, including hallways, living rooms and staircases.

Overall, it’s great for busy households, commercial projects or even rental properties.

PLUSH CARPET

What is plush carpet?

Soft, sleek and luxurious, if you’re looking for sophistication, go plush! We make plush carpet by adding together hundreds of closely tufted strands, giving it a velvety feel.

Why should I choose plush carpet?

Plush is the ultimate in super-soft and cosy carpet. It not only feels great, but it looks great too - strands reflect the light in different ways to create texture and depth.

For those wanting the luxury look, plush carpet can show footprint marks.

Plush might be luxurious, but it’s also practical. It can be spot cleaned to prevent staining as it has a protective fibre that delays spills from soaking in. Plush’s dense fibres also repel dirt.

Where is plush carpet suitable for?

Plush carpet works perfectly in areas of the house where there’s less traffic, such as bedrooms or formal dining rooms.

It’s best suited to more formal homes.

TWIST CARPET

What is twist carpet?

Twist carpet is the perfect choice for those that want a stylish, yet resilient alternative. The reason that it’s so resilient is because we make it by twisting fibres together.

Why should I choose twist carpet?

Twist carpet has an intriguing textured look that looks great in just about any home. It’s the perfect blend of an overall smooth feeling, yet not so smooth that it shows every indent.

Footprints and vacuuming marks are masked well by the texture within twist carpet.

That same texturing also means that twist carpet is good to clean! It hides soling and lint specks.

Where is twist carpet suitable for?

Twist carpet will look great and last well in medium to heavy traffic areas of your home, including hallways, living rooms and staircases.

It’s suitable for most houses or commercial projects.

TEXTURED CARPET

Textured carpet is style meets visual intrigue. For this type of carpet, we combine loop with plush fibres to create a dazzling variety of patterns.

The patterns in textured carpet mean that it’s less likely to show footprint or vacuuming impressions.

Where is twist carpet suitable for?

Textured carpet is perfect for medium-heavy traffic areas of your home, including hallways, living rooms or staircases.

At Choices Flooring we sell a wide range of underlays that come in either foam or rubber. Both have their own unique features and benefits of which your local store can advise you of.

The higher the quality of underlay the more luxurious it will feel under your feet. Don't be afraid to ask to try a sample under the carpet of choice when you are in-store. The thicker the underlay, the more support it will give your new carpet and the quieter it will make your home, especially in second floor installations and on staircases.

We recommend that you change your underlay if you are replacing your existing carpet. Underlay wears as the carpet wears, leaving it with the wear patterns of the old carpet. It is important to note that a manufacturer may void a carpets warranty if laid on old underlay.
