Welcome

There’s nothing difficult about buying and looking after carpets, but like anything else, a few professional tips can help.

As we know a thing or two about carpets, we’ve put together a few essential questions you need to consider before choosing the right carpet for your home.

1. What room are you buying carpet for?

Think about where the carpet is to go. High traffic areas (stairs, hallways, etc.) need hard wearing practical carpets that will retain their appearance, whereas bedrooms can be fitted with more luxurious qualities as they don’t receive such consistent use. When it comes to the living room, wool or wool-rich twist piles have superb resilience to wear and tear, though easy clean polypropylene carpets are stain resistant and bleach cleanable.

2. What’s your priority? Texture? Colour? Cleanability?

Consider what’s important for you, your family circumstances and your home. If you need a carpet that’s easy to clean, look out for ‘family friendly’ fibres, which are dirt and stain resistant and bleach cleanable. If you’ve a household pet at home, you may also want to consider our easy-clean carpets – most of which carry a 10-year guarantee against stain and wear resistance.

3. Is there a need for new underlay?

Absolutely! A good quality underlay prolongs the life of your carpet - either rubber or felt. For the best results, a new and firm underlay should be laid on a clean dry floor.
