Escape Twist uses the same New Zealand wool and 29-colour palette as Escape Velour, but the yarn is tightly twisted, which gives the surface a textured look. That texture is the practical advantage: footprints and the dents left by furniture are harder to spot than on a smooth velour. Supertuft names Escape Twist, along with Whenever, as harder-wearing than its velour styles, so it is a sensible pick for busy family homes. The standard version is 50 oz per square yard before shearing, with a pile of about 8 mm on 3.66 m rolls, and Supertuft grades it for extra heavy residential use with stairs included. It is made in Melbourne by Supertuft, a family-run maker producing wool carpet since 1980. Supertuft lists a 5-year guarantee (conditions apply). If you like the Escape colours but have a busy hallway or a full house, this is usually the one we suggest you see first. We'll bring the samples to you.

Escape Twist FAQs
Should I choose Escape Twist or Escape Velour?
Both come in the same 29 colours at the same 50 oz weight. Velour has a smooth, plush finish. Twist has a textured surface that hides footprints and furniture marks better, and Supertuft rates it the harder-wearing of the two.
Can Escape Twist go on stairs?
Yes. Supertuft's grading for the 50 oz Escape Twist is extra heavy residential, and it covers stairs.
What guarantee does Escape Twist have?
As listed by the manufacturer: a 5-year guarantee. Conditions apply, including installation to the Australian standard by a qualified installer, correct care, and use in the settings Supertuft recommends.
