Carpets - Various Options

[wealth]

Hi,

Just got a quote to replace some carpets but they have given me a dozen options. Does anyone have knowledge on the different types and what is best for IP in terms of durability.

FYI - the costs increases as it goes down the list

100% Polypropylene Loop Pile
100% Polypropylene Patterned Loop Pile
100% Polypropylene Sculptured Loop Pile
100% Solution Dyed Nylon Twist Pile
100% Nylon Plush Pile
100% Polypropylene Twist Pile

Should give you a insight. Just to confuse the issue more.

Depends on the suburb and rent levels/expectations.

For a more bog standard IP, a decent twist pile polyprop will be fine. For something a bit more upmarket then a good SDN twist is a nicer feel underfoot.
