FAQ
Do I need to replace the underlay every time I get new carpet?
We recommend that every time you get a new carpet you replace your underlay. This is because new underlay cannot only increase the life of your carpet by 40%, but it also ensures the carpet sits properly and wears evenly.
Other benefits of having underlay and replacing it are: it improves the feel underfoot and reduce pile compression. It insulates against noise and heat loss and helps stop grit and dust being trapped in the carpet.
Will your stores let me take samples home?
Yes we will, also online we offer sampling service on some ranges.
Why does my carpet have a crease in it?

Why my carpet moulting?
It is just the loose fibres in the carpet, it may seem like a lot but it is just a small fraction of the volume of fibre in the carpet. It is nothing to worry about and the more you vacuum the better as it will stop this moulting earlier. You cannot over vacuum a carpet.

Why has my carpet flatten and more in certain areas?
The longer the pile you have the more the carpet is going to flatten. Also areas of the carpet you walk on more is going to flatten more. Carpet will always flatten and is not wear nor a defect with the carpet.
My carpet looks a different colour to the sample I had is it a different carpet?
No it is to do with batch differences. The sample you had was made from a batch quite some time ago, during this time the sample will have been exposed to light which may have changed the colour. The colour will also look different in different light conditions and at different angles. Batch variations are normal and to be expected. This is why we recommend that you order all the carpets you need in one go so it will batch match.
