Carpet fibres differ in feel, performance and care needs, so choice should match the room and lifestyle. Wool is a natural fibre prized for its warmth, resilience and comfort; it performs well in living areas when maintained to manufacturer guidance. Nylon is a hard‑wearing synthetic noted for durability and good stain performance, commonly chosen for high‑traffic zones. Polyester offers a soft handle and strong colour clarity, often used where appearance and softness are priorities. Olefin (polypropylene) is moisture‑resistant and economical for lower‑traffic areas. Acrylic can look and feel similar to wool but with different performance and care characteristics. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins; current widths vary by product and should be confirmed. For specific ranges, availability and pricing contact the Taren Point showroom on 02 9526 6421 or visit Unit 3/46 Bay Rd, Taren Point, NSW.
