Woven and tufted constructions have different strengths. Woven carpets (Axminster, Wilton and similar) are made on looms with pile integrated into the cloth; this can create a very stable, dense carpet that performs well in pattern retention and long‑term wear. Tufted carpets are produced by punching yarn into a backing and are generally more economical and stylistically versatile. Trade‑offs include cost, weight, repairability and design options. Regarding nanoplastics, wool is a natural fibre and can present a different lifecycle profile to synthetics, but shedding and microfibre release depend on fibre, backing, finishing, wear and cleaning. Some carpet ranges are available in wider formats; confirm current widths and product details at the Taren Point showroom (Unit 3/46 Bay Rd, Taren Point).
