The Colors 2 Collection Cut Pile Carpets

Cut pile is made by cutting the tops of tufted yarn loops, creating individual upright strands rather than continuous loops. The result is a softer, more cushioned surface compared to loop pile. Colors 2 combines cut pile with a heat-set frieze twist — giving it texture, resilience, and a slightly casual, contemporary look that suits both residential and modern commercial spaces.

Frieze refers to a tightly twisted yarn where the individual strands are curled and crimped. ‘Heat set’ means the twist is locked in place using steam or dry heat during manufacturing — so the yarn retains its texture under foot traffic and repeated vacuuming. Heat set frieze is significantly more durable than non-heat-set cut pile, which can untwist and go limp over time.

Felt backing provides natural cushioning and thermal insulation that hard action or latex backings cannot match. It is the preferred backing for residential applications where comfort underfoot is a priority, and for spaces where acoustic dampening is valued (bedrooms, home theatres, sitting rooms). Action Backing is better suited to heavy-use commercial environments where dimensional stability under rolling loads is the primary requirement.

Yes — 1600 GSM is in the upper-mid to premium weight range for residential cut pile. Higher GSM means more yarn per square metre, which translates to a denser, more resilient pile that holds its shape and appearance longer. For comparison, many standard residential carpets sit in the 900–1200 GSM range, so Colors 2 is noticeably denser and more durable.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only or adjustable beater-bar vacuum — reduce the beater bar height on very plush cut pile to avoid unnecessary fibre damage. Blot spills immediately with a clean white cloth from the outside in; the PP fibre makes most spills easy to remove with water and mild detergent. For heavy soiling or periodic refresh, schedule professional hot-water extraction every 12–18 months.

Yes — especially in light-to-medium commercial settings such as boutique retail, hotel guest rooms, private offices, reception areas, and showrooms where appearance is as important as durability. For very heavy commercial use (open-plan offices with rolling chairs, high-traffic corridors), a loop pile with action backing would be a more appropriate specification.

Each colour in the Colors 2 collection is identified by a two-digit numeric code (e.g., Maroon 07, Blue 05). These codes correspond to the manufacturer’s standard colour reference system and can be used when ordering to ensure you receive the exact shade specified.
