What is Laminate? Laminate floors are a great choice for people who want the look of wood or tile for less. Rather than the real thing the finish layer of laminate consists of a mere photograph of whichever material it is supposed to simulate (wood, tile). The photograph is printed onto paper that is impregnated with melamine resin and covered by a strong protective transparent top layer. Under high temperature and pressure this finish layer is applied to HDF board. Often texture is stamped on for a more realistic look. Individual boards lock into each other for easy and fast floating installation.The result is a product that is relatively cost effective. The non porous surface and tight joints are easy to maintain. Simply vacuum and from time to time clean with a damp mop. Microfiber cloth works great. Make sure not to use any cleaning agents which contain waxes or polishes. They build up layers that will trap dirt. There is a variety of colors available. You can even get laminate that has the look of distressed wood.

Carpet

This construction emulates the look of the traditional coir matting. It is a loop pile construction with odd and even rows of loop being at a different level. This type of construction is very directional with the rows of loops running down the length of the carpet. The sisal construction promotes good wearing qualities and being a loop pile minimises potential pile crushing.

Modulated loop

This construction is made up of various loops tufted at different pile heights to give a very textured and attractive appearance. A very hard wearing style.

Twist pile

Twist pile carpets or sometimes known as “Freize” , pile utilises high twisted yarn that are extremely durable. The twist pile construction gives the carpet appearance great texture and does not “shade” as cut or plush pile carpets can tend to do, and consequently does not show foot prints.

Loop pile

Unlike the modulated loop pile constructions the loops in this construction are all of the same height.

Traditional cut loop

This is a very long standing and traditional style and is made by combining a patterned area of loop pile yarn tufted in areas of cut yarns. The patterned area of loops can vary depending on the style required.

Level cut loop (LCL)

This construction is a combination of loop and cut pile yarns which can be configured to give a wide variety of patterns either random or geometrical. This style is manufactured using the latest carpet tufting technology and delivers excellent and innovative options from which you can select.

Cut pile

Cut pile carpets sometimes referred to as plush piles are produced with the yarns standing upright, close to each other so that each yarn supports it’s neighbor. Cut pile carpets deliver a very tailored and delicate appearance but can behave like velvet material in so much that they can “shade” and show footprints easily. It is important that you take this into account when selecting.
