For a durable, quiet underfoot and well insulated floor covering, you can’t go past carpet. But buying carpet is not as simple as walking in, choosing one and then walking back out. It’s generally not a cheap item to buy and install, but armed with the information below we believe you can avoid making an expensive mistake and end up with a carpet you’ll love.

Know your fabrics

Size of the area, budget and traffic of the space will factor into which fabric you choose, but we believe that also knowing the pros and cons of each fabric matter too. Wool carpet is the it’s warm, durable and naturally stain-resistant. Nylon is a hard-working, cheaper alternative that resists cleaning and sunlight staining and is ideal for children and pets and if you find a well made one, it can look luxurious. Polypropylene / polyester is synthetic and cheap and it looks it, but it’s good for playrooms that are likely to end up covered in stains and mess anyways or investment properties. Wool/Nylon blends are a slightly more budget-friendly option that are durable and high quality.

Pick your colours wisely

Show rooms like Newcastle Carpet One have a wide range of colour options to choose from and while your aesthetic should definitely be taken into account, there’s other factors to consider. Lighter colours make small rooms look larger, but show stains more easily, while dark colours hide stains but show lint. Speckled carpets hide stains and lint but people often complain that they always look dirty. We highly recommend visiting a showroom and trampling across carpet samples a few times, as online colours aren’t always true to life and won’t show you what lint or stains will look like on your chosen colour.

Newcastle Carpet One is an exclusive stockists of the acclaimed Bremworth Collection in Newcastle. The range of high quality wool carpets brings an extra element of luxury to our already extensive range of products for those that want to spoil themselves.

So why should you choose wool carpet? Here’s 12 reasons from Cavalier Bremworth on why wool is a great choice for carpeting your home or business.

1. WOOL IS A 100% SUSTAINABLE, RECYCLABLE AND BIODEGRADABLE FIBRE
   o This product uses 100% pure New Zealand Wool fibre. From the farm gate to the floor we control the process, ensuring the highest quality wool every step of the way.
   
   
2. ACCS ENVIRONMENTAL ACCREDITATION (ECS)
   o We’ve achieved the highest environmental grading – ECS Level 4, contributing valuable points towards both materials and indoor air quality under the Green Star office rating system.
   
   
3. ACCS RESIDENTIAL PERFORMANCE RATING
   o This product has achieved an ACCS Residential Extra Heavy Duty plus Stairs 6* rating making it the perfect choice if quality and performance are important
   
   
4. BEAUTIFULLY SOFT UNDERFOOT
   o Warm and comforting, soft and luxurious – wool carpet provides an unmatched sensory experience.
   
   
5. FIRE RESISTANT
   o Wool is the safest carpet fibre because it’s the most difficult to ignite, it burns slowly and is easy to extinguish.
   
   
6. IT BREATHES
   o Wool naturally absorbs and releases moisture from the atmosphere, helping regulate humidity to create a more comfortable living environment.
   
   
7. NATURALLY ANTI-STATIC
   o Wool naturally repels static charge.
   
   
8. NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL
   o We use only the finest grades of New Zealand wool to bring you the purest shades of colour. Wool’s unique spiral crimp provides natural bounce-back properties, which means your carpet will retain its looks for longer.
   
   
9. NATURALLY NON-ALLERGENIC
   o Wool carpets are non-allergenic and they filter the unwanted toxins and odours that can cause irritation. Wool carpet binds allergy-causing substances tightly, preventing them from entering the breathing zone.
   
   
10. NATURALLY STAIN RESISTANT
    o Wool has a very thin, waxy coating bonded to the surface, which naturally repels water – giving you time to wipe spills up before they become a stain.
    
    
11. PROUDLY GROWN IN NEW ZEALAND
    o We only buy wool from New Zealand farmers. We then scour, dye and spin the yarn in our Napier and Whanganui plants before it’s tufted into carpet in Papatoetoe, Auckland.
    
    
12. VERY DURABLE
    o 15 year abrasive wear warranty* This carpet is made to last – we warrant that the surface pile of your carpet will not lose more than 10% of its fibre due to abrasive wear within 15 years.

There’s so many different styles of stain-resistant carpet to choose from you may have trouble deciding! Contact Newcastle Carpet One today to discuss which stain resistant carpet is right for you!

It’s 2017 and everywhere you look, technology is playing a huge role. Commuters on their way to work are glued to their smartphones. Even traditional media such as billboards and newspaper are now digital. This technological age has continuously changed the way carpet is made in the way of stain-resistant carpets.

How does stain-resistant carpet work?

Stain-resistant carpets are made with a special outer-coating that transforms the carpet’s ability to absorb.  This outer-coating enables the owner to easily wipe away spills, often with just a damp cloth.

Does stain-resistant mean “unstainable”?

Most synthetic carpets for sale nowadays have some form of stain resistance. This does not mean that they can never be stained, but rather staining the carpet is much more difficult.

The level of stain resistance the carpet has depends on the type of carpet, the quality of its stain-resistant coating and its age.

Wool for example, is quite a luxurious carpet that is naturally more stain-resistant. Nylon carpet has tremendous staying power and lasts for a long time. It generally less expensive than wool but costs more expensive than a more stain-susceptible carpets such as polyester.

Is stain-resistant carpet a good choice for me?

Choosing carpet for your home varies dramatically depending on the individual. Your carpet choice should be based on your family’s needs and lifestyle. Certain types of carpet are better for certain situations.

We have stain resistant, durable fibers that look and feel beautiful. Our range includes various soft plush styles, a huge range rainbow of colors, and many different textures.

What type of carpet is the most resistant to pet stains?

Many Aussie households have pets, which means there’s lots of Australian households with plenty of pet hair and accidents to clean-up after. For those with pets, it is wise to choose a carpet that is more stain-resistant to avoid permanent marks on the carpet.

Colour-safe and stain resistant is recommended for households with pets. Colour-safe carpet means the carpet can be cleaned without losing its vibrant colour, and the stain-resistance will reduce absorption of spills (or pet “accidents”) until you’ve had a chance to clean it up.
