Carpet ranges we stock

The quickest way to narrow the list is by pile type, because that decides how a carpet feels, how it wears and which rooms it suits. Colour comes after.

Cut pile has the yarn tips sheared open for the soft, even surface most people picture when they think of carpet. We carry fourteen cut pile ranges, from 7mm to 17mm:

• Villa Charm, 7mm in six colours, a firm solution dyed nylon twist that is quick to vacuum and suits rentals and spare rooms.
• Naples, 9mm in ten colours, low enough to keep shading down across a large floor.
• Noranda Avenue, 9mm in six colours of virgin PET, the lowest priced Access International cut pile, for investment properties and bedrooms.
• Marina Bay, 9mm in nine colours of solution dyed nylon, stairs rated with a 20 year warranty.
• Westminster, 9.5mm in thirteen colours, a plush that still carries a Heavy Duty Commercial rating and a 20 year residential warranty.
• Baltimore, 10mm in eight colours, with a flecked two tone surface that hides lint and traffic lanes.
• Dream Feel, 10mm in seven colours of PET on a recycled PET backing, soft and stain resistant, though heavy furniture leaves dents that need brushing up.
• Sumptuous, 12mm in eleven colours, spun from a soft nylon made for comfort underfoot. A bedroom carpet first.
• Silken Memories, 12mm in nine colours of Greenstrand nylon, a fine yarn with a silky hand.
• Parkview Gardens, 12.5mm in ten colours, short and dense for hallways and whole house jobs.
• Essential Images, 14mm in the nine Marina Bay colours with more pile, and a 25 year warranty.
• Touch of Paradise, 14mm in the nine Silken Memories colours, with 2mm more pile for a deeper step.
• Touch of Luxury, 16mm Greenstrand nylon in the same nine colours, the plushest Access International carpet, with a 25 year warranty.
• Riverside Reserve, 17mm, the deepest pile we stock, in the same ten colour names as Parkview Gardens.

Loop pile leaves the yarn uncut. It wears harder and hides footmarks better, which makes it the practical pick for family rooms and busy hallways. Berber Grid is a 5mm olefin loop with a small grid texture, the most affordable Access International carpet. Opal Valley (6mm) and Villa Heights (8mm) are high-low nylon loops in the same seven colours. Manor Lakes is a 7mm high-low loop in natural wool and PET with a flecked berber look. Alexandria is an 11mm scroll loop and Benghazi a slimmer 9mm version, nine colours each. Both use the same colour names, and the colours behind them differ: Pebble is sage green in Alexandria and a brown taupe in Benghazi. Order from the right range, not the name. Loop piles can snag on pet claws, so tell us if you have a dog or cat that digs at the floor.

Wool carpet

Auburn Ridge is our 100% wool range: loop pile at 11.5mm, made in Australia, rated Extra Heavy Duty Residential and backed by a 15 year residential warranty. Five colours named for the bush, Banksia, Gumnut, Lilly Pilly, Tea Tree and Waratah.

Wool springs back instead of crushing, so furniture dents recover. It resists flame without a chemical treatment and holds warmth on a cold morning. The trade off is care. Wool cannot be cleaned with bleach the way solution dyed nylon can, so spills need blotting straight away and a wool safe cleaner.

Nylon or wool?

Every nylon carpet on this page is solution dyed, meaning pigment goes into the nylon while it is still liquid. The colour runs right through each strand. Red wine and coffee can be cleaned out hard, and it stands up to Sydney sun far better than a carpet dyed on the surface. For a rental, a family with pets or a room with big windows, that usually settles it. Wool wins on feel, warmth and how it ages in a main bedroom or formal lounge.

Supply and install across Sydney

Most of our carpet goes out as a supplied and installed job. We measure the rooms, quote the carpet, underlay and labour, lift the old floor covering and take it away, then our regular installers lay the new carpet. Stairs, landings and uneven slabs are all priced at the measure. If you have your own installer, ask us about supply only.

Shopping for carpet and rugs together? The same showroom stocks rugs for Sydney homes, so you can match a rug to a new carpet in one visit.

Not sure carpet is right for the room?

For an office, gym or rental, carpet tiles let you replace one damaged tile rather than the whole floor. For kitchens and living areas, compare hybrid, laminate and vinyl. Our guide to carpet or hard floors works through the choice room by room.

Carpet questions we get asked

Is wool carpet worth the extra cost?

In a room you sit in rather than walk through, usually yes. Wool resists crushing, holds its colour and ages well. Auburn Ridge carries a 15 year residential warranty. Where spills and sun are the bigger risk, a solution dyed nylon such as Westminster is often the better buy.

What is the difference between cut pile and loop pile?

Cut pile has the loops sheared open for a soft, plush surface. Loop pile leaves them intact, which wears harder and hides marks. Cut pile suits bedrooms. Loop pile suits hallways and family rooms.

Which carpet is best for stairs and hallways?

A short, dense pile. Parkview Gardens at 12.5mm was built for hallways, stairs and whole house jobs, and a loop pile hides footmarks well. Avoid the 17mm Riverside Reserve on stairs, because a pile that deep shows every footprint.

How much does carpet cost per square metre?

It depends on the range, the area, the underlay and whether the old floor has to come up. A free measure gives you an exact figure for your rooms rather than a guess.

Can I buy carpet online and have it delivered?

We sell carpet to Sydney customers only, and most jobs are supplied and installed. Rugs are the part of the range we deliver Australia wide.

Can carpet go over my existing floor?

Sometimes, if the existing floor is level, sound and dry. In most homes the old covering comes up first so the underlay sits properly. We will tell you which applies at the measure.
