About Carpet - Spoilt for choice
Choosing a carpet for your home is a major decision – it is also exciting and satisfying. While practicality is important, remember that your floor is a canvas through which you can express your individuality.
Whether your home is contemporary or classical, carpet has many advantages over other flooring options. So, when you’re choosing a suitable carpet for your home, consider the following.
Durability
Carpet that is hard wearing can withstand heavy foot traffic and retain its appearance longer.
Comfort
Carpet
can provide year-round comfort and softness, increasing your enjoyment
at home. It’s also pleasant for little feet and knees crawling around
the room.
Texture
Loop
pile gives a textured finish; cut pile offers a smooth even finish. Or
you can choose a combination of both for a finish that really makes a
statement. With carpet, there are no restrictions to the finish you can
create.
Colour
Unlike
other floor coverings that have limited scope for colour, carpet uses
both natural and synthetic fibres, which means there is a potential
palette of over 1,000,000 colours to choose from.

soft Godfrey Hirst carpet not only increases comfort around the home,
they can reduce the risk of injuries that arise from slipping or
falling. As carpet pile also absorbs pressure, the stress level on the
body is also reduced.

stains (no matter how busy or messy life gets). Carpet also acts as a
natural insulator, creating a quiet relaxing environment.
