Wool Carpet Buying Guide

Selecting the perfect carpet for your project consists of deliberation of style, colour, your lifestyle and the rooms that you are carpeting.

Fortunately, we have created a step-by-step guide to assist in the process of perfecting your project:

1. Browse our range of luxurious wool carpets

2. Choose between the different types of wool carpet we offer.

Cut Pile Carpets

  • 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.

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. This style is also known as High-Low Loop Pile, Multi-Level Loop Pile or Patterned Textured Loop Pile. It can be used in a random or sequenced design to create textures or patterns.

3. Select a colour from our range of wool carpets.

From earthy neutrals to pops of colour and patterns, Feltex will have a carpet suitable for your project.

Colour is one of the most important factors to consider when decorating a new home or renovating. Colour impacts the mood, feeling and personality of a room. Colour can help enhance the appearance of a room’s size, allowing you to make the most of natural and artificial light. 

The colour palette you choose will influence the feeling, light and space in each room. Room colour can affect people in many ways, influencing your mood and energy. Cool colours are considered calming and serene; they are often recommended for bedrooms. In halls, entries and small spaces, warm colours can feel expansive and welcoming.

4. With our Room Visualiser tool, you can now effortlessly envision how our luxurious wool carpets will complement your home decor.
