Description

The Advantage Carpet “Jazzy” (often appearing as “Jazzy 2” in product listings) is a very popular residential carpet, recognized for delivering a luxurious soft feel at a competitive price point. It’s designed to bring comfort and practicality to busy homes.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the Advantage Carpet Jazzy (Jazzy 2):

Key Features of Advantage Carpet Jazzy (Jazzy 2):

• Fibre: 100% Solution Dyed Polyester (SDP) – Softsense Polyester
  • Exceptional Softness: This is the primary highlight. “Softsense polyester” refers to advanced polyester fibres engineered specifically to feel incredibly soft and plush underfoot. This is what gives “Jazzy” its comfortable and inviting appeal.
  • Solution Dyed: A crucial benefit. The colour is integrated into the fibre during its manufacturing process, meaning the colour is locked in throughout the entire yarn. This provides:
    • Excellent Fade Resistance: Highly resistant to fading from sunlight (UV exposure), helping the carpet maintain its vibrant colour over time.
    • Excellent Stain Resistance: Polyester is naturally resistant to most common water-based stains (like food and drink spills) due to its low absorbency. Being solution-dyed enhances this, making spills relatively easy to clean up.
  • Value for Money: Polyester is generally a more economical synthetic fibre compared to nylon or Triexta, allowing “Jazzy” to offer a luxurious feel at a more accessible price point.
• Construction: Cut Pile Twist
  • This is a very common and effective carpet construction for residential use.
  • The tightly twisted and cut fibres create a textured surface that effectively hides footprints, shading, and minor soiling. This is a significant practical benefit for busy households, as it helps maintain a neat appearance between vacuums.
  • It also contributes to the carpet’s plush and inviting feel.
• Weight/OZ Rating:
  • While “Jazzy Max” is 50oz, “Jazzy 2” is typically listed at a slightly lower but still respectable weight. Some retailers indicate “Jazzy 2” around 40oz. This is a good mid-to-high range weight for residential polyester, contributing to its density, sound absorption, and improved comfort and resilience compared to lighter polyester carpets.
• Residential Suitability: Residential Heavy Duty (Including Stairs)
  • This rating indicates that Jazzy (Jazzy 2) is suitable for general residential use, including areas with moderate to heavy traffic, and is suitable for stairs. This makes it a practical choice for various rooms in a home, including living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways.
• Warranties: 7 Year Warranty
  • Advantage Flooring offers a 7-year warranty for the Jazzy range. This typically covers wear and manufacturing defects. This warranty period is reflective of its price point and expected performance for a solution-dyed polyester carpet in residential heavy-duty applications.
• Australian Made:
  • Many Advantage Flooring carpets, including Jazzy, are proudly Australian-made.

Considerations for Advantage Carpet Jazzy:

• Oily Stains: While excellent for water-based stains, polyester can be more susceptible to oily stains, which might be more challenging to remove. Prompt cleanup is always recommended for any spills.
• Resilience (compared to top-tier Nylon/Triexta): While its density and construction help, polyester is generally not as inherently resilient as premium Solution Dyed Nylon or Triexta in resisting long-term pile crushing in extremely high-traffic, concentrated pivot points, or under very heavy, rolling furniture. However, for most typical residential use, its performance is very good, especially at its price point.

In summary, Advantage Carpet Jazzy (Jazzy 2) is an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a carpet that delivers a truly luxurious and soft feel underfoot without a top-tier price tag. Its solution-dyed polyester fibre provides strong stain and fade resistance, and its cut pile twist construction, combined with a good pile weight, offers a comfortable feel and good durability for everyday residential use, including moderately trafficked areas and stairs.
