Twist
There is something a little decadent about sinking your bare feet into luxuriously soft carpet. Due to its durability, comfort and style, beautiful wool or synthetic carpet has stood the test of time and remains a popular flooring product in many Australian homes to this day. There are different types of fibres, colours, prices and pile types to decide on when choosing a carpet. Some fibres and piles are even blended, so you can find a wool/synthetic blend carpet and a cut and loop pile blended carpet. More commonly though, the pile construction of your carpet will either be loop, plush or twist and each type has many benefits, so it is a matter of choosing which best suits your home environment, lifestyle and budget.
What is twist carpet?
Twist pile carpets have tightly twisted fibres which are found only in cut pile carpets or carpets where there is a blend of cut and loop pile construction. Twisting the cut fibres together increases the strength of each fibre, which makes a twist pile carpet highly resilient.
Twist pile carpets have a slightly more textured, less uniform look than something like a plush pile carpet. An example of a popular twist pile carpet is the Lifestyle+ Hideaway collection of Triexta carpet in a durable twist pile construction. Available in an impressive range of twenty deluxe colours to suit any interior style, Lifestyle+ Hideaway’s hardwearing twist pile delivers a smooth, slightly textured finish able to withstand a whirlwind of family living.
