Carpets are the most widely used type of floor covering in the country, they are quiet, warm, soft under foot and quickly installed. Carpets also provide insulation and noise reduction between the floors of your home.

Carpets are made from both natural and synthetic fibres, the natural fibre is wool and synthetic fibres are polypropylene, nylon, polyester and acrylic. By far the most popular carpets currently are made from polypropylene due to the fact they are bleach cleanable and relatively inexpensive, however wool fibre is naturally elastic, so tends to stop the pile from compressing as easily.

Where you’re planning to lay your carpet, and what sort of use it will have to endure, will help you to narrow down your options. You can afford to treat yourself to a bit of luxury in the bedroom, where a softer pile will withstand slippers or bare feet, but you’ll need something with a dense, tight, low-pile tuft in those high-traffic areas.

The density of your carpet should be a key consideration, particularly if you are looking to lay it in a high-traffic area, such as a hallway or stairs. The density is determined by how closely knitted each fibre is to another, rather than the depth of the carpet. Take a look at the back of the material to see how much space there is between the tufts. Large gaps mean the carpet will loose its resilience more quickly
