Encounter is a solution-dyed polypropylene loop made for busy households that want a practical, easy-care floor. The manufacturer describes it as resistant to stains and fading, and it is rated Residential Heavy Duty, so it suits living areas, bedrooms and rumpus rooms that see plenty of everyday use. The manufacturer lists 7-year residential wear and lifetime anti-static warranties (conditions apply). EC makes five polypropylene loops: Encounter shares the Heavy Duty rating with Montrosa and Woodchester, while Savanna and Summit Point are rated Medium Duty, so Encounter suits rooms with a little more traffic than those two. Its seven colours have coastal names such as Sandbar, Shorebird and Pontoon. Encounter is made in Lonsdale, South Australia, on a 3.66 m roll. If you are weighing up polypropylene against nylon, our team can talk through the differences at the free measure. We'll bring the seven samples to your home.
