Types of Carpet
We offer carpets created through distinct construction methods including tufted, woven, and needlefelt techniques. Each type provides unique benefits such as enhanced durability, softness, or stain resistance. Our retailers help customers select the most suitable option based on foot traffic patterns, room usage, and aesthetic preferences, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
Underlay Selection
Our retailers provide guidance on choosing appropriate underlay to enhance carpet comfort and lifespan. Options vary by thickness, material composition, and acoustic properties. Proper underlay improves insulation, reduces wear, and ensures even weight distribution. We recommend specific types based on subfloor conditions and room requirements.
Installation Preparation
We advise customers on pre-installation preparations including furniture removal, subfloor inspection, and acclimatisation of materials. Our retailers provide checklists for measuring spaces accurately and identifying potential obstacles. Proper preparation ensures smooth installations and optimal carpet performance across different environments.

We provide specific instructions for different carpet fibres and constructions. Regular maintenance following our guidelines helps preserve appearance and extend product lifespan while maintaining warranty validity.
