Wilton carpet is a woven wool carpet and is known for its strength and durability and is a popular choice for commercial areas as it can stand up to a high level of traffic.	Saxony is a plush carpet that is rich and luxurious. Saxony carpet has gained a reputation for extremely high quality, an elegant appearance, and superior comfort underfoot. This reputation has gained momentum over the years. The tight twisting of each bundle of fibres coupled with the rich density and quality construction results in a formal and beautiful floor covering.	This style is very easy to clean, durable, yet soft to the touch. Berber will traditionally show less footprints as well as hide vacuum tracks extremely well. Because of its informal look, Berber is very popular residentially, especially in family rooms, recreation rooms, and multimedia rooms.

How is Carpet Made?
	We all know how comfortable carpet can be on our toes, but do we have the foggiest idea how carpet is made? There are four main types of carpet construction, but this is no indicator as to how long the carpet is going to last or to how much it should cost. Before we get to the heart of constructions, a quick bit of background for you. Traditionally, carpet used to be an investment that any homeowner would expect to last 20 or 30 years. However, these Axminster and Wilton constructions as they are known in the trade, have been overtaken in the sales stakes by tufted carpets that provide a high quality of carpet in plain and graphic styles for a wide range of tastes and budgets.
This is not to say that woven Axminster and Wilton are carpet dinosaurs on the path to extinction. Far from it, these types of carpet are still extremely popular in areas where longevity and design flexibility are a big part of the purchasing decision. The hotel and leisure sectors are to name but two in the contract sector, but many homes use woven Axminster as design statements within the home. Machine Woven Including well-known constructions such as Axminster and Wilton, machine woven carpets are made by massive looms that weave together ‘bobbins’ of carpet yarn and backing. The finished result, often intricately patterned, creates a floor that provides supreme underfoot luxury with high performance. Tufted Tufted carpets are madly popular within the domestic sector, tufted carpet technology is fairly new in terms of the history of carpet manufacturing methods, but its speed compared to the traditional methods, means that for many it is a more suitable carpet for the home. A pre-woven backing gets yarns tufted into it. Needles push the yarn through the backing and which is then held in place with underlying “loopers”. Tufted carpet take on a number of forms, but the most popular are either twist pile, velvet, or loop pile: Twist pile carpets are produced when one or more fibres are twisted in the tufting process, so that in the finished carpet they appear to be bound together. By Texture Twist Pile One of the most popular styles, it comes in wool and man made fibres. Variously described as "Hardtwist", "Hightwist" or "Frise" the yarn has been given an extra turn or two and this results in a rougher surface texture which is less prone to showing footmarks. Velvet Sometimes called Velour. A close construction with a short pile and smooth top with a tighter construction. Giving the finished article a smooth, velvety appearance. Available mainly in tufted and Wilton constructions and in wool or synthetic fibres. Saxony A shorter pile length than shag pile, the tufts tend to be closer together. Saxony styles are available in several different fibres. Loop Pile Mainly available in natural and "Berber" clearways and are renowned for being hard wearing and lend carpets great texture. Shag Pile Today shag piles are designed for luxury and decorative use. In the main they come in heavy weights and would look superb in your penthouse.
