Benghazi Scroll Loop Pile Carpet

Benghazi is Belgotex's slimmer scroll loop pile at 9.0mm, nine colours. Loops of deliberately varied size are laid over a linear construction, so the surface carries a scrolling pattern that is legible up close and resolves into a soft even texture at room scale. The yarn is 100% solution dyed nylon with a matte finish, no sheen, which is what keeps it reading as a natural fibre floor.

One thing to be careful about before you order. Belgotex uses the same nine colour names across both scroll loop ranges, and the colours behind those names are not the same. Pebble in Alexandria is a sage green. Pebble in Benghazi is a grounded brown-taupe. Do not order from a name alone across the two ranges, and ask us for the right sample if you have seen a colour you like.

Against Alexandria the build is the real difference rather than the styling. Benghazi is 9.0mm against Alexandria's 11.0mm, which makes it lower, denser and harder wearing underfoot. That suits hallways, stairs, family rooms and tenanted properties. Alexandria is the one for a bedroom where you want depth and softness.

Solution dyeing puts the colour inside the fibre instead of on its surface, so it will not fade in a sunny room and can be spot cleaned hard without losing tone. The varied loops hide footprints and vacuum tracks far better than a plain cut pile.
