Description
Advantage Flooring’s “Abbey Road” carpet is a popular and well-regarded residential option, particularly the Abbey Road 2 version. It’s designed to offer a balance of style, comfort, and durability.
Here’s a breakdown of the key features of Advantage Carpet Abbey Road (specifically Abbey Road 2, as it’s the more commonly listed version):
Key Features of Advantage Carpet Abbey Road 2:
- Fibre: 100% Solution Dyed Nylon (SDN)
- Perma Soft Plus: This indicates a specific treatment or engineering of the nylon fibers to enhance their softness, providing a more luxurious feel underfoot.
- Exceptional Stain Resistance: As a Solution Dyed Nylon, the color is infused into the fiber during manufacturing. This makes it inherently highly resistant to most common household stains. Spills tend to bead on the surface, allowing for easier cleanup.
- Superior Fade Resistance: The color goes all the way through the fiber, making it highly resistant to fading from sunlight (UV exposure) and atmospheric contaminants. This helps maintain its aesthetic appeal over time, even in sunny rooms.
- Outstanding Durability and Resilience: Nylon is a highly durable and resilient synthetic fiber. It has excellent “memory,” allowing it to spring back from compression, which helps resist matting and crushing even in high-traffic areas.
- Easy to Clean and Maintain: Its inherent stain and fade resistance make it relatively low-maintenance, requiring only regular vacuuming and prompt spot cleaning.
- Construction: Modulated Loop Pile
- This is a key characteristic that differentiates it from typical cut pile twists. A modulated loop pile means the loops are of varying heights, creating a textured, multi-dimensional look.
- Excellent for Hiding Traffic and Soiling: The varied loop heights and texture are highly effective at disguising footprints, vacuum marks, and general soiling, making it look cleaner for longer. This is a significant advantage for busy households.
- Durability: Loop pile carpets are inherently very durable and hard-wearing, as the fibers are not cut, which prevents them from fraying or shedding. This makes it suitable for high-traffic areas.
- Soft Underfoot: Despite being a loop pile, the “soft” designation and Perma Soft Plus nylon suggest it maintains a comfortable feel.
- Weight/OZ Rating: 45 OZ
- This refers to the face weight of the carpet (ounces per square yard). 45 OZ is a good, substantial weight for a residential carpet, contributing to its density, plushness, and durability.
- Residential Extra Heavy Duty 6 Star Rating Including Stairs:
- This is the highest possible residential rating from the ACCS (Australian Carpet Classification Scheme). A 6-star rating signifies that Abbey Road 2 is engineered to withstand the most demanding wear and tear in residential environments, making it ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, and staircases.
- Treated with “The Odour Eliminator”:
- This is an added benefit, particularly useful for homes with pets or where there might be concerns about lingering smells. This treatment helps neutralize odours.
- Warranties:
- Advantage Flooring offers a 15-Year Warranty for Abbey Road 2. This typically covers wear, stain, and fade resistance, reflecting confidence in the product’s long-term performance.
- Style and Colours:
- It’s available in approximately 10 stylish colours, offering versatile options to suit various interior designs.
In summary, Advantage Carpet Abbey Road 2 is a high-performance, durable, and stylish Solution Dyed Nylon carpet. Its modulated loop pile construction, coupled with its softness, excellent stain and fade resistance, and high residential rating, makes it an ideal choice for busy Australian homes that require a hard-wearing yet comfortable flooring solution.
