Carpet Textures


Carpet fibre/yarn can be manufactured from an increasing number of synthetic and natural materials and produced in a variety of textures and patterns. Hatfields' choice of specially selected quality carpets allow us to offer you an impressive range of pile densities, weaves and finishes, for all purposes and ready to be fitted into your home.


Velvet Pile - Smooth feel, with a shorter pile and a tighter, highly dense construction are the unique features of this product, giving the finished article a velvety appearance that is soft to walk on. The difference between the Twists and Velvets is purely aesthetic; there is no difference with regards to the performance of these carpets.

Twist Pile - One of the most popular styles, it comes in wool and man made fibres containing high twist yarns, (the yarn has been given an extra turn or two) and this results in a rougher surface texture which is less prone to showing footmarks.


Loop Pile - There are various loop forms available including small and tight, large, patterned and Heather, (which is a flecked yarn). It is a deeply textured style that adds an element of visual interest to a home. Advice should be taken by families with pets, as claws may catch the loops.

 Shag Pile - Shag piles are designed for luxury and decorative use. In the main they come in heavy weights and are the ultimate in flooring splendour, mostly purchased for bedrooms, as they have a luxurious feel under foot.


Saxony Pile - Consists of a shorter pile length than shag pile, but maintains the deep comfort feel. The Saxony pile is suitable for most rooms in the home, with some brands recommending their Saxony products for use on stairs.
