For a staircase in a family home, wool is a popular option because of its warmth and sound‑dampening qualities; choices depend on priorities. Loop or textured woven wool is typically more hard‑wearing and conceals traffic well, while cut‑pile wool (plush) offers a softer, more luxurious feel but may show wear differently. Berber‑style loops can be very durable for high traffic, though appearance and performance vary by construction. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats, which can reduce joins on stairs and landings; current widths vary by product and should be confirmed. BCC can show suitable samples at the Taren Point showroom (Unit 3/46 Bay Rd) or discuss options by phone on 02 9526 6421.
