Solution dyed nylon is a top pick for carpet installations, with approximately 80% of new carpets being made from this material. Its superior durability, resilience, and fade resistance ensure it stays looking great for years, even under New Zealand's harsh UV conditions.

Cleaning solution dyed nylon carpets is a breeze, thanks to their ability to withstand a broad range of cleaning products. They are also perfect for busy households, as they bounce back better than wool carpets from the wear and tear of high-traffic areas, pets, and children. Moreover, they are hypoallergenic, making them an excellent option for those who struggle with allergies to natural fibres.

Don't be misled by the label "man-made"; our collection of solution dyed nylon carpets includes an affordable entry-level carpet to extremely plush options with luxurious texture underfoot.

Features of solution dyed nylon carpets include pest resistance, hypoallergenic quality, anti-static and fade-free properties.

On the other hand, wool carpet is a naturally luxurious choice that offers comfort, durability, and an endlessly renewable quality. The insulation is built into the fibres themselves, making wool carpets adaptable to the seasons, providing warmth in winter and a cooler feel in summer.

Wool carpets also offer superior insulation against noise, heat, and flame compared to solution dyed nylon carpets. Sourced from New Zealand's thriving sheep farming industry, our wool carpets are of exceptional quality, with strong, naturally bulky yarn and exceptionally soft fibres. They come in loop pile, textured, and plush options, providing unparalleled aesthetics, strength, and softness.

Wool carpet features include sustainability, breathability, self-insulation, and heat-resistance.
