Westex Flooring: questions and answers
Westex manufactures premium wool and wool-blend carpets across velvet, twist and textured loop ranges. Choosing between Westend Velvet, Ultima Twist and the Natural Loop families needs an exact collection, colour and technical specification.
Are all Westex carpets 80/20 wool and nylon?
No. Westend Velvet has a wool blend with 20% nylon, while named Westex Natural Loop collections are listed as 100% wool. Product construction varies.
What is Westend Velvet?
It is a soft-spun velvet carpet collection offered in different quality levels. Compare the exact specification and sample before ordering.
Does Westex make loop carpets?
Yes. Its Natural Loop portfolio includes Bouclé, Briar and other distinct textured designs.
Does Westex offer many colours?
Yes. The manufacturer offers extensive palettes and special-dye services for certain ranges; availability and colour matching require confirmation.
What do Westex stain treatments mean?
Westex advertises a Stain Resist protection process, alongside other treatments. Read the exact care and guarantee terms; they do not authorise arbitrary strong cleaning chemicals.
Can Westex carpet be fitted on stairs?
Check the named range and pile against expected stair traffic, then prepare a plan for treads, risers, winders and underlay.
Can I use Westex wool with underfloor heating?
Only where the selected carpet-and-underlay system’s combined tog falls within the heating supplier’s limit.
How can I compare Westex with another carpet?
