Twist pile carpet, tightly twisted tufts making it very practical and hardwearing.

Ideal for all heavy domestic locations, including hall, stairs and landings. A traditional British carpet style. Twist pile carpet comes in a whole range of pile contents, particularly wool, wool mix, nylon and polypropylene. Each fibre has its own advantages.

Nylon for pure abrasion resistance, polypropylene for stain resistance, wool for resilience and appearance retention. Usually a mix of 80% wool 20% synthetic gives particularly good all round performance.

Look for heavy pile weights and density.
