Luxury Faux Silk carpets

They scream decadence, they feel luxurious – what’s not to love about faux silk carpets or carpets as soft as velvet?  As you flick through Instagram, they are in the background of the finest properties and the trend is fast-growing across all homes. When it comes to bedrooms and lounges especially, sophisticated elegance and the ultimate in softness are what people want.

As the popularity of luxury faux silk carpets soars, several manufacturers either specialise in, or have brought to their collections, a choice of super soft, super luxurious carpet and rugs.  We showcase some of the choice available, so all you need do is to come into one of our showrooms to feel the softness for yourself! 

Westex Silken Velvet Collection 
Earlier in the year we blogged about Westex Carpets and moth protection as all carpets from Westex are finished with mothproof and anti-dust mite treatment, even the recent new addition to the Collection, the sumptuous Silken Velvet range.  Made from a development of 100% Polyamide 6.6 Antron® 2-fold yarn, carpet in the Silken Velvet collection has exceptional softness and sheen, yet is resistant to pilling.  It comes in a choice of dazzling colours but can also be dyed to an exact colour match of your choice.  This stunning carpet has lovely textures, features Antron® nylon fibres to keep it looking good for years to come and is finished with a stain resistant treatment to help treat spillages as soon as they happen.

Sylka™ Carpets
The clue is very much in the name with Sylka™ who specialise in producing some of the most luxurious silk effect carpets on the market, installing them in yachts, hotels and luxury homes.  Their method for the utmost silkiness and lustrous shine comes from their NuSilk™ technology, a luxury fibre engineered to replicate the delicate aesthetic qualities of natural silk, made from a polymer that gives the floor covering extra strength and durability, hence Sylka™ Carpets have a commercial grading.  Of course, the very best comes at a price and with carpet starting in excess of £150m², Sylka™ Carpets cannot be everyone’s first choice.  But, considering all the benefits of the NuSilk™ fibre system and the opulent finish guaranteed, they might just be worth every penny.

ITC luxury carpets and rugs
This Dutch company is another specialising in the manufacture of luxury floorcoverings, with nearly fifty years as market leaders of hand woven luxury rugs and carpet.  ITC know carpet needs to perform, hence their Campeone Collection features some of our favourite styles. Cannes and Chablis are made of 100% 6.6 pa nylon, making them not only fashionably lustrous and silk like to the touch but long-lasting with their non-shedding, stain and water-resistant capabilities, giving them a heavy domestic classification. And the new Cabernet carpet in the same collection is one of our best-selling faux silk carpets.
