If you are finding it challenging to decide which new carpet to choose, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide on carpet selection and will cover the five main types of carpet. We know which carpet types are a popular choice with our customers, and we also know it can be confusing if you don’t know what you’re looking for.
What carpet material should I choose? Do I want a woven carpet or a tight twist pile? Will tufted carpets or cut pile carpets be better for my home? They’re all decisions that need to be made, and that’s before we get to things like stain resistance, durability, or whether synthetic materials are easy to clean compared to wool.
Luckily, we’re here to help. Keep reading to examine each of the carpeting varieties in detail, and by the end you could become a carpet guru. If you’re still not sure about the right carpet type for you, contact us or visit our showroom in Horsham, West Sussex.

Standard Carpets
Standard carpets are perfect for any home that is on a budget, or for landlords or property developers who simply don’t want to spend more on some of the more specialist carpet styles. That makes them a very popular choice among our customers in Sussex and Surrey.
This carpet type is created using the newest generation of artificial fibres. They are fantastic, reasonably priced and available with either a felt or secondary backing, which is intended for use with an underlay.
A lot of our range in this category consists of loop pile carpets, twisted carpets and woven carpets, all of which have excellent dirt resistance and remain springy even after heavy foot traffic.
Natural Fibre Carpets
Natural fibre carpets are positively bristling with vitality thanks to their durability and authentic woven look. They offer a wide variety of stripes and herringbone patterns and are also dye-responsive.
Because they’re made from natural materials like plant fibres or wool, they’re sustainable and eco-friendly to manufacture, and are also easier to recycle or upcycle at the end of their life.
