Tip: When comparing prices on vinyl, timber, ceramic tiles etc,
remember that carpet is often sold and quoted by the linear metre or 'broadloom metre' (1m x 3.67m)
while most other products are sold and described in square metres (1m x 1m).
That means, you are getting around 3.5 times more carpet for the comparable square metre price of other products.

Types of Carpet
Your carpet can come in a variety of different textures and styles to meet your taste. Here I will describe 4 different styles and give you some information to help you choose the style of carpet that is right for you.
Saxony is one popular style of carpet. Saxony carpet is the stock standard type of carpet. It is a cut pile carpet with equal length tufts and is a solid color throughout. It shows marks such as vacuum and foot prints but is a comfortable carpet.
Next we have a type of carpet called Berber and is very popular as well. It is made of a continuous fibre that forms loops or knots. It has the great benefit of hiding foot prints and vacuum marks because of its harder surface made up of loops instead of a cut pile. Berber is a very durable carpet although it is a hard carpet underfoot and not as comfortable as other styles.
Frieze is yet another type of carpet. It has a heavy twist and hides foot prints and traffic very well. Because of the twist it does not lay in straight rows like pile carpet and it is a perfect carpet for higher traffic areas.
The last carpet is called sculptured carpet. It has a combination of cut pile and loops. This carpet stands up well to traffic and wears very well.
As you can see there are many different kinds of carpet to choose from for your home. Hopefully you now have some idea of what you would like. If nothing else you now know what types of carpets to ask your carpet supplier about the next time you are ready to buy new carpets.
Carpet Tip
Have you noticed wrinkles in your carpet? Then it is time to get your carpet stretched. A easy way to know if your carpet needs a stretch is go to the center of the room and try to grab the carpet. Lift it up and then let go. If the carpet doesn't snap back into place then you need to have your carpet stretched by a qualified carpet specialist. It is important to do not only because it is an eye soar but also will actually decrease the life of the carpet.
