Every step you take will be a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that defines the globally respected carpet-making heritage.

The Perfect Blend of Nature and Innovation

At the heart of the Ultima Twist Collection is a superior yarn composition that industry experts and interior designers consistently praise for its exceptional performance. We utilise a meticulously balanced blend of eighty percent premium wool and twenty percent high-quality nylon. This specific ratio is celebrated throughout the flooring industry as the ultimate recipe for luxury carpeting, and for very good reason. Wool is a miraculous natural fibre, offering innate warmth, exceptional resilience, and a sumptuous texture that synthetic alternatives simply cannot replicate. It naturally regulates room humidity, acts as a superb insulator against both cold drafts and ambient noise, and possesses a unique structural memory that allows it to bounce back from heavy foot traffic without crushing. However, to make this natural wonder even more robust, we weave in twenty percent high-grade nylon. This vital addition of synthetic strength acts as a reinforcing backbone, significantly increasing the tear resistance and overall lifespan of the carpet pile. The result is a two-fold tufted cut pile manufactured on a precise one-eighth-inch gauge that looks incredibly rich whilst possessing the necessary fortitude to withstand the rigours of everyday modern life.

Discover the Pinnacle of Underfoot Luxury

The appropriately named Pinnacle quality is the crowning jewel of the Ultima Twist Collection. Designed exclusively for those who demand the absolute highest level of comfort, this exceptional carpet boasts an industry-leading luxury rating of LC5. With an astonishing tuft density of one hundred and sixty-one thousand and two hundred tufts per square metre, the Pinnacle offers an incredibly dense, cloud-like experience underfoot. It features a total carpet thickness of eleven and a half millimetres, providing a decadent plushness that is immediately noticeable the moment you step into the room. Because of its supreme thickness and a remarkable thermal resistance rating of 1.67 tog, it offers outstanding insulation, making it the ultimate choice for master bedrooms, elegant formal sitting rooms, or any space where creating a cosy, opulent atmosphere is the primary goal. Despite its unparalleled softness, it confidently holds an end-use classification for both heavy domestic and heavy commercial use, proving that true luxury does not have to come at the expense of long-lasting durability.

Crest Quality for Superior Elegance and Versatility

Following closely in the footsteps of the flagship weight is the remarkable Crest quality. Sharing the same prestigious LC5 luxury rating as its heavier sibling, Crest delivers a phenomenally lavish feel while maintaining a slightly sleeker profile. It features a highly impressive tuft density of one hundred and fifty-five thousand tufts per square metre and a total thickness of nine and a half millimetres. With a thermal resistance of 1.48 tog, it remains wonderfully warm and inviting under bare feet. What truly sets the Crest quality apart is its remarkable versatility and specialised marine certifications. It is an ideal choice for the most demanding domestic environments, yet it also effortlessly meets stringent commercial standards. Furthermore, Crest is fully certified by the International Maritime Organisation against their FTP Code 2010 Part 2 and Part 5. This certification, available upon request for minimum orders of eighty square metres in a single width, makes it entirely suitable for luxury yachts and prestigious marine environments, underlining its incredible safety and fire resistance.

The Major Quality for Everyday Brilliance

For homeowners seeking the perfect equilibrium between exquisite luxury and highly practical performance, the Major quality is an exceptional contender. Earning a highly respectable LC4 luxury rating, this beautiful carpet is engineered to handle the bustling activity of a lively household with absolute grace. It features a robust tuft density of one hundred and thirty thousand and two hundred tufts per square metre, alongside a total thickness of nine and a half millimetres. The 1.46 tog rating ensures your rooms remain comfortably insulated throughout the colder winter months. The Major quality truly shines in high-traffic areas such as living rooms, dining rooms, and home offices, where furniture is frequently moved and footfall is heavy and consistent. Its resilient two-fold tufted cut pile construction actively resists flattening, ensuring the carpet maintains its uniform appearance and springy texture year after year, providing an enduringly beautiful backdrop to your family’s daily life.

Ultima Quality for Unwavering Reliability

The namesake of the entire collection, the Ultima quality, represents the absolute cornerstone of dependable, high-quality residential flooring. Also proudly holding an LC4 luxury rating, it is a brilliant testament to enduring craftsmanship. With a tuft density of one hundred and twenty thousand, two hundred and eighty tufts per square metre and a total thickness of eight and a half millimetres, it offers a slightly firmer feel underfoot while still providing ample comfort and warmth with its 1.29 tog rating. The Ultima weight is specifically designed to tackle the most demanding areas of the home without showing premature signs of wear and tear. It is particularly well-suited for winding staircases, busy corridors, and active entrance halls where lesser carpets might quickly succumb to the constant abrasion of shoes and heavy use. By choosing the Ultima quality, you are investing in a fiercely durable surface that refuses to compromise on the sophisticated aesthetic that defines this entire premium range.

Penultima Quality Providing Accessible Luxury

Rounding out the magnificent five-tier offering is the highly adaptable Penultima quality. This entry point into the premium collection proves that true quality can be accessible without sacrificing essential performance. Achieving an LC3 luxury rating, the Penultima features a tuft density of one hundred and five thousand, four hundred tufts per square metre and a total thickness of seven and a half millimetres. With a tog rating of 1.19, it still provides a noticeable layer of thermal comfort and insulation.

The Penultima quality allows you to maintain a consistent standard of wool-rich luxury throughout your entire property, ensuring that every single room benefits from the renowned durability, beautiful finish, and advanced protective treatments that are the celebrated hallmarks of the manufacturing excellence.

A Masterclass in Colour and Bespoke Dyeing

We fundamentally believe that colour is the most powerful tool in interior design, capable of completely dictating the mood, spatial perception, and personality of a room. We are immensely proud to offer an incredibly extensive standard colour palette that we confidently consider to be second to none in the industry. Across all five qualities within the Ultima Twist Collection, you have the freedom to choose from one hundred and twenty standard colours. This vast spectrum ranges from crisp, contemporary neutrals and warm, earthy tones to deep, dramatic darks and vibrant, statement-making brights. Whether you are looking to create a serene, minimalist retreat or a bold, maximalist entertaining space, the standard range has the perfect hue to anchor your vision. However, we understand that true luxury lies in absolute personalisation. Because Westex operate their own dedicated dye house and maintain total control over the entire manufacturing process, we are thrilled to offer a limitless bespoke colour service. If you have a specific vision in mind, perhaps an Eternity Classic theme that requires a very precise shade of timeless, sophisticated blue, or you wish to perfectly match a beloved piece of artwork, a heritage fabric swatch, or even a specific paint reference, the expert colour technicians can make it a reality. We will formulate a unique dye recipe just for you. Special dyes are carefully processed and a physical sample must meet your complete approval before full production begins, guaranteeing absolute satisfaction with your exclusive creation.

Seamless Installation with Unrivalled Width Options

A truly premium carpet deserves a flawless installation, and a key factor in achieving a perfect, professional finish is minimising unsightly seams. In standard carpet manufacturing, limited width options often force floor fitters to join multiple pieces together in larger rooms, which can disrupt the visual flow of the pile and create potential points of premature wear. To ensure the most pristine and elegant aesthetic possible, the Ultima Twist Collection is manufactured in five distinct width options. Depending on the exact dimensions of your room, you can select from one metre, three point six six metres which is equivalent to twelve feet, four metres, four point five seven metres which is equivalent to fifteen feet, and an expansive five-metre width. This unparalleled flexibility allows your flooring professional to select the most efficient size for your specific project, significantly reducing the need for joining seams. This not only results in a much cleaner, more cohesive appearance across your floor but also dramatically reduces offcut waste, making the fitting process more economical and environmentally considerate. Furthermore, the roll lengths are entirely customisable to suit the exact requirements of your installation.

Ultimate Protection with Allergy Guard and Fresh Guard

Beyond the exceptional materials and beautiful aesthetics, what truly elevates the Ultima Twist Collection is the comprehensive suite of protective treatments applied meticulously during the manufacturing process. We believe your home should be a safe, healthy, and hygienic sanctuary. To achieve this, every carpet in this range is treated with Westex advanced Allergy Guard and Fresh Guard technologies. Allergy Guard provides a formidable, permanent defence against microscopic pests, including house dust mites, mould fungi, harmful bacteria, and the allergens they naturally produce. The active ingredients in this highly specialised treatment are built intimately into the construction of the carpet fibres themselves. This treatment works by preventing common household debris, such as shed human skin cells and pet dander, from decaying into the primary food source that dust mites require to survive. Without a viable food source, these pests simply cannot exist or thrive within the carpet pile. This mechanism naturally and effectively inhibits the development of harmful bacteria and mould. Fresh Guard works in perfect harmony with this system, actively neutralising unwanted pet odours and keeping your living spaces smelling wonderfully clean and inviting. You can rest assured that these treatments have been subjected to the most rigorous scientific testing, both toxicologically and ecologically, to the strict standards of OECD 404 and 406. They have been proven to cause no irritation or sensitisation, ensuring they are entirely safe for your family, your pets, and the environment. Because these treatments bond permanently with the wool fibre, their protective benefits will last for the entire lifetime of your carpet, maintained simply by thorough, regular vacuuming.

Defending Your Home with Advanced Stain Resist

We understand perfectly that a busy, modern household is prone to accidental spills and inevitable daily mishaps. To ensure your carpet remains looking newer for much longer, every single product in the Ultima Twist Collection benefits deeply from the highly effective Stain Resist treatment. It is important to clearly note that this is not merely a superficial stain blocker that sits delicately on top of the carpet; rather, the Stain Resist formula actively bonds with the fibre structure itself to provide profound protection against dirt and dampness. When a spill inevitably occurs, this remarkable treatment significantly slows down the penetration of the liquid into the heart of the fibre. Instead of immediately soaking in and causing a permanent, unsightly mark, the stain remains temporarily locked firmly on the surface, granting you crucial time to gently blot and remove it before any lasting damage is done. Crucially, this protective barrier does not alter the natural, breathable properties of the wool blend, nor does it negatively affect the carpet’s luxurious, soft texture. The chemical bonds created by the Stain Resist technology are incredibly strong; they simply cannot be broken down by standard household shampooing or professional carpet cleaning products. The performance of this protective shield is guaranteed to last for five years subject to normal, reasonable residential use, providing you with invaluable peace of mind. Furthermore, the polymers used in this treatment are entirely free from chlorofluorocarbons, are dermatologically tested, and exhibit absolutely no toxicity or bioavailability.

Preserving Your Investment with Superior Moth Guard

One of the historical concerns associated with investing in natural wool products is the potential for devastating moth damage. We have entirely eradicated this worry with Westex award-winning Moth Guard treatment. Every carpet within this luxurious collection is comprehensively protected against the attack of both clothes moths and other wool-eating insects. The ingenious active ingredient in the moth-proofing formula specifically targets the keratin, which is a naturally occurring protein found within the core of the wool fibres. Moths and related insects rely heavily on this keratin as their primary food source to survive and multiply. Westex advanced treatment subtly alters the molecular structure of the keratin, making it completely indigestible to these destructive pests. If an insect attempts to consume the treated carpet fibre, its digestive system is entirely unable to convert the keratin into usable energy, and it literally starves. This highly effective, targeted deterrent provides absolute protection without the need for constantly applying harmful, airborne chemical sprays in your home. Just like the allergy and stain protections, the Moth Guard treatment bonds securely with the wool on a permanent basis, guaranteeing total security against insect damage for the entire lifespan of the carpet. This specialized process has also undergone exhaustive scientific testing to ensure there is absolutely no harm to human health, pet health, or the broader ecosystem, producing zero harmful effluent waste during the manufacturing process.

Exceptional Technical Performance for Modern Living

The Ultima Twist Collection is not just about surface beauty and plush comfort; it is meticulously engineered to perform flawlessly within the technical and physical demands of a modern home. For those who enjoy the ambient luxury of underfloor heating systems, you will be highly pleased to know that all qualities within these carpets are fully compatible with systems operating up to a maximum temperature of twenty-seven degrees Celsius, though we always advise carefully checking with your specific heating manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure optimum performance. The incredibly dense wool-rich pile acts as an exceptional acoustic dampener naturally, achieving a highly rated Class C sound absorption when paired appropriately with a high-quality underlay, dramatically reducing impact noise between floors and creating a much quieter, more serene living environment throughout your home. Furthermore, the robust woven polypropylene primary backing ensures excellent dimensional stability. The rigorous laboratory testing according to ISO 2551 guarantees that the carpet will powerfully resist unwanted stretching or shrinking over time, passing strict industry standards that require shrinkage to be equal to or tightly less than one point two percent and extension to be strictly less than or equal to zero point five percent. Safety is also of paramount importance; all qualities proudly demonstrate a remarkably low radius of char in standard hot nut flammability tests and successfully achieve excellent Class Cfl-s1 reaction to fire classifications. With outstanding independent colour fastness ratings against intense light fading, robust shampooing, and aggressive rubbing, alongside built-in electrical resistance that safely prevents static build-up, every single technical specification has been meticulously considered to provide you with the ultimate flooring solution.
