Know the Benefits of Textured Saxony Carpet

Saxony carpet has been around for a very long time, and is probably the picture that comes to mind when most people think of carpet.  Saxony is a cut-pile type of carpet with vertical fibers cut evenly across the top.  Saxony is typically taller with longer fibers than a loop pile like Berber, although is not as long and luxurious as Frieze carpet.

Straight Saxony For a Velvety Feel

Straight Saxony is also called velvet Saxony due to the smooth feel this style provides.  This type of carpet fiber has a luxurious feel but will show foot traffic as the fibers are swept from one direction to another.  Some people don’t mind this, as the soft and luxurious feel of the Saxony provides enough of a benefit.

Textured Saxony Carpet

Textured Saxony is also referred to as trackless, due to the difference in fibers that are twisted so that they reflect light differently when brushed and are less likely to show the foot traffic of a straight Saxony carpet type.  Textured Saxony carpets are a very popular choice in busy households, as the ability to mask the constant footprints in between vacuums leaves your carpet looking soft and plush.  

This is a huge benefit of the textured style, along with several other benefits of Saxony carpet realized with both straight and textured styles of Saxony carpet.   Both straight and textured Saxony provide appealing aesthetics in any room where softness is desired.  

Benefits of Saxony Carpet

Saxony carpet is comfortable in both casual or formal rooms with variations of density providing consumers with a choice of selecting either low or high density.  The higher density is beneficial in high traffic areas such as busy rooms and hallways.  Where softness is desired such as bedrooms or dens, a more pliable texture with lower density might feel more pleasing

With Saxony carpet you have a uniform height and color that provides a basic backdrop to accent any room with furniture and décor to your style.  Saxony will generally go with anything, allowing you to let your style show through without dominating patterns or busy colors.

Consumers are in control of the cost with Saxony carpet, as the lesser dense variations are typically less expensive.  When used in commercial settings, consumers should consider the higher density even if the cost is higher to provide the quality and durability desired.

Installing new carpet is an investment into your home or office, and receiving the quality and durability you deserve is key to realizing the desired return on your investment.  You don’t want to compromise on the quality of carpet with the lowest price, only to replace it years sooner than expected.

Enjoy long lasting durability with textured Saxony carpet, available in various materials including polyester, wool and nylon.   How long your carpet lasts is dependent upon the type of carpet fiber, the density and twist.  Start with quality fibers and materials from a carpet and flooring company you can trust, for the best value and return on your investment.

Textured Wool Carpet Provides Long Lasting Soft Comfort

One of the most widely used carpet fibers in the world is wool, making textured wool carpet a material of choice to provide luxurious softness and comfort.  Wool carpet may be more expensive than other materials, but can last up to five decades with proper care.  Carpets made of wool are environmentally friendly, produced of natural fibers that are fully recyclable, and provide many benefits over synthetic fibers to those suffering with allergies.

Wool Carpet Benefits

There are many benefits to choosing textured wool carpet over other fiber types, making wool a desirable choice for many applications.  Some benefits of wool fiber carpets include:

• Less irritation to allergy sufferers: wool is proven to provide less irritation to those suffering with allergy or breathing problems, as the fibers absorb suspended dust particles making them less likely to enter the lungs. Dust particles will remain on the surface where they are easily removed with vacuuming.  
• Long lasting shape retention: textured wool carpets will retain their shape and appearance for several decades as the fibers are coated with a thin membrane which prevents any dampness from seeping into the carpet.  
• Unparalleled softness of wool: wool carpet can be more costly than other synthetic fibers, although the fluffy, bouncy texture of wool carpets provides value with unparalleled softness that stands the test of time.
