Top 5 Tuftmaster Carpet Brand Reviews

We will explore the pros and cons of the top five Tuftmaster carpet brands so you can choose the right carpet for your home or business.

1) Soft Appeal Carpet Reviews

Soft appeal carpet is by far the most premium carpet by Tuftmaster across Australia, and is very popular amongst high-end homes, especially in Eastern suburbs of Sydney. Its popularity arose due to the comfort and durability of the twist pile nylon fibres. Soft Appeal comes in 1o gorgeous colours which Sydneysiders love.

Advantages Of Soft Appeal Carpet

1. Comfort – The fibres of Soft Appeal is comfortable to the touch, making it very luxurious to walk upon (or to lay upon). This makes it suitable for the entire home, especially bedrooms and living rooms.
2. Fire-rated – Soft Appeal is compliant to the National Construction Code when it comes to fire Resistance. This makes Soft Appeal suitable for multi-residential and commercial usage with any type of underlay.
3. Durability – Soft Appeal is durable as it has a 2 star contract medium use under the Australian Carpet Classification Scheme (ACCS). Therefore, the carpet can be placed in most commercial areas.

Disadvantages of Soft Appeal Carpet

1. Flattening & Matting – One drawback of Soft appeal is that there will be flattening of fibres when heavy furniture is placed on top of the carpet for a long time. The carpet pile is very durable but less crush resistance which means you may see furniture legs imprint the fibres.
2. Possible Discolouration – Like most other carpets, Soft Appeal by Tuftmaster may experience discolouration when exposed to UV light and high foot traffic in the long term. We recommend using blinds during hot summer days to reduce direct sunlight.
3. Premium Priced – Soft Appeal is one of the higher priced nylon carpet options as it does offer a wide range of benefits.

2) Luxury Touch Carpet Review

Luxury touch is a premium and durable nylon carpet by Tuftmaster. This range comes in a very soft twist pile style, with a range of chalk and rocky shades. Luxury Touch is also very durable as it comes with heavy residential and moderate commercial use certificates.

Advantages Of Luxury Touch Carpet

1. Crush Resistant – The higher the gauge (closeness of each tuft of fibre), the more resilient the carpet will be when it comes to foot traffic and heavy furniture. There is a lower chance of the fibres flattening which means the carpet will remain beautiful for longer.
2. Durability – Luxury Touch’s offers the same durability and classifications as the Soft Appeal carpet. This allows the carpets to be used in most commercial areas.

Disadvantages of Luxury Touch Carpet

1. Not Fired Rated – Luxury Touch does not meet the regulations of the National Construction Code for the fire rating. This makes the carpet not suitable for both multi-residential and commercial usage unless independently tested with the specific underlay.
2. Premium Priced – Like Soft Appeal, Luxury Touch is also more expensive than most nylon carpets. However, it is slightly more affordable than Soft Appeal. For exact pricing, feel free to contact our carpet specialist.
