Natural Wool
A Hirst Wool carpet has the most luxurious feel. Their subtle beauty can
increase your enjoyment of any room. Wool’s unique fibre structure makes it
durable and hardwearing, so a Hirst wool carpet keeps its appearance longer.
Wool carpets can feel cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Wool has innate
stain resistance properties, allowing spills to be cleaned more easily. It is
also flame retardant and acts as an insulator, helping to reduce ambient noise.
Cut Pile Plush
Cut pile carpets are achieved by cutting the tops of the loops so the pile
stands upright with an even smooth surface. The yarn is constructed with a
slight twist, which has been chemically or heat set. This creates a Hirst wool
carpet with a very soft, luxurious look. Plush pile carpet has a tendency to
display temporary shading from footprints and vacuuming. This is regarded as a
characteristic of this style, but has no detrimental effect on the performance
of the carpet.
Cut Pile Twist
Cut pile twist carpets are constructed with a higher twisted yarn causing the
pile to lay in different directions, giving a more textured appearance. A twist
pile Hirst wool carpet is hard wearing and maintains its finish. Because they
have a more textured finish, they are also less likely to show traces of shading
or tracking within the pile.
Loop Pile
A looped carpet is, as the name suggests, where the carpet pile forms a loop.
The yarn is threaded through the backing then sewn back through – creating a
loop of yarn. There are several types of loop pile carpets. The more common ones
are level loops, sisals, textured loops and multi-level loops. Each creates a
very distinct look in the home. A loop pile Hirst wool carpet is are hard
wearing, durable and do not have a tendency to show tracking (footprints) as
often as other carpet types.
