Question

Accepted Answer

Shag pile remains a recognised style for plush, deep-pile carpets, prized for a soft, cosy underfoot feel. It performs best in low- to medium-traffic living areas where the long pile can be maintained; the deeper texture can trap dust and shed more than shorter piles, so easier maintenance and careful vacuuming are important considerations. Trade-offs include comfort versus ease of cleaning and long-term resilience; for households with pets or heavy traffic, a shorter, denser pile may be more practical. Images and current samples are available at the Taren Point showroom. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins; current widths vary by product and should be confirmed.
