Carpet Thickness

Carpet thickness refers to how deep or high the fibres stand above the carpet backing. Thicker carpets tend to offer more comfort and insulation, while thinner carpets are often more durable and easier to maintain. Here's a breakdown of the common carpet thickness ranges:

1. Very Thin Carpet (2–4 mm):
These carpets are typically low-profile, durable, and easy to clean. They're often used in commercial settings, or as budget-friendly options for rental properties or temporary spaces. They provide minimal cushioning and are better for low-traffic areas or where function is more important than comfort.

2. Thin Carpet (4–6 mm):
Still offering a relatively flat appearance, these carpets are more common in residential spaces like hallways, kitchens, or offices. They provide a slight cushioning but are not overly plush. Good for rooms that don’t see a lot of wear but need an easy-to-maintain, low-profile option.

3. Medium Thickness Carpet (6–10 mm):
A balanced option for most residential homes, offering a moderate level of cushioning and comfort. These carpets work well in living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms where comfort and durability are both important. They provide a softer feel underfoot and can handle moderate traffic.

4. Thick Carpet (10–14 mm):
These carpets are much plusher and provide a higher level of comfort. They work well in areas where you want a softer, luxurious feel underfoot, such as master bedrooms or living rooms. However, thicker carpets may show more wear in high-traffic areas and may require more maintenance to maintain their plush look.

5. Very Thick Carpet (14+ mm):
Usually found in luxury homes or areas where comfort is the priority. These carpets are plush and soft, providing a premium feel. They offer excellent sound insulation and warmth but are more prone to showing marks or wear in busy areas. They also tend to be harder to maintain due to their thickness.

Common underlay we use is 9mm thick.
