Vanguard Affection Twist Shadow

Vanguard Affection Twist in Shadow delivers a rich black carpet with a neat twist pile that hides footprints and light marks. At 10mm deep with a 1350g/m² pile weight, it sits firm underfoot without the bulk, and the polypropylene construction means it bounces back after daily wear.

The real standout is the bleach-cleanable backing. Spills happen in family homes, and this Bleach Cleanable Carpet lets you tackle stains head on without worry. A quick blot with diluted bleach lifts marks that would defeat standard carpet. That’s practical peace of mind for hallways, stairs and busy living spaces.

Where it works

This Carpet suits bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, hallways and landings. The twist pile resists matting in high-traffic zones, and the dark colour masks everyday dust and dirt. It’s equally at home in rental properties where durability and easy cleaning matter.

Installation

Fitted using the gripper method. Underlay is required, and the carpet works with underfloor heating systems, so you can layer it over warm floors without issue. Allow professional fitting to ensure it sits properly and performs as intended.

Looking after it

Vacuum regularly to lift pile and keep the twist texture clear. For spills, blot immediately and rinse with cool water. The bleach-cleanable treatment means you can use a diluted bleach solution on stubborn stains without damaging the backing. Vanguard backs this carpet with a 10-year warranty.
