Choosing the Carpet Type for Your Home

Choosing the carpet type for your home? Choosing a carpet type can be challenging, with a number of things which must be considered. Fortunately, Joe Walker’s Flooring have the tips to help you in choosing the carpet type best suited for your home.

Woven Vs Tufted

Tufted carpet is incredibly popular due to its springy nature as well as being available in a range of colours and materials. Woven carpets tend to be very sturdy, however, woven carpets are not suitable if you have pets as their claws can get caught in the loops.
