Cut Pile Carpet:
Cut Pile Twist
Cut pile twist carpet is highly twisted which produces a pile that lies in different directions. It has a luxurious feel and a smooth textured finish. This style is hardwearing while maintaining its finish, so it is ideal for high foot trafficked areas. Introducing a textured finish is less likely to show shading or tracking.Cut Pile Plush
Cut pile plush carpet features a short and slightly twisted pile with light reflecting strands that produce texture and depth. A beautiful, soft, dense texture that creates a more formal look and naturally features velvet-like shading. It can display tracking from footprints and vacuuming.Loop Pile Carpets:
Level Loop Pile
Level loop pile carpet has all the loops at a uniform length. It has a distinct texture with low and tight loops. It is a great choice for high traffic areas as it does not show footprints.Textured Loop Pile
Textured Loop pile carpet uses loops of varying heights to create unique patterns and interesting textures. The loops ensure a hard-wearing carpet that works well in medium to high-traffic rooms. It can be used in a random or sequenced design to create textures or patterns. This style is also known as High-Low Loop Pile, Multi-Level Loop Pile or Patterned Textured Loop Pile.Select a colour from our range of products.
Redbook offers an array of colourful and fun colours to make a statement in your home.
Colour is one of the most important aspects to consider when choosing carpet as it impacts the ambience of a room. It can help alter the appearance of a room’s size and shape and allows you to make the most of natural and artificial light. When selecting new carpet, you should take home a sample and view it in your home at various times of the day, as the colour can appear different under varying lighting sources. Darker, multi-coloured and patterned carpets are especially effective at hiding soiling compared to solid shade, lighter carpets.
