If you are after a floor covering that provides sound insulation, energy savings, durability, non-slip safety and underfoot comfort, carpet is hard to beat. It’s also hygienic, easy to clean and fit, with plenty of flexibility for individual creativity and design.

Carpeting is versatile enough that it can be used wall-to-wall or combined with other floor coverings. You will also be adding texture to a room, and can use carpeting to give an accent with a complementary tone or pattern.

You can expect many years of good wear from your carpet if you select the right one in the first place.

Take your pick from:

• Loop Pile Carpets - typically the cheapest option, these offer a hardwearing, long-lasting surface which won't flatten over time. They are mostly made from Polyproplene, so are bleach cleanable and suitable throughout your home. Available in single or multi-coloured mix designs and stripes, these have many options when it comes to finding a colour and design to suit your style.
• Cut Pile Carpets - can be either Polyproplene or a wool/polyproplene mix. These offer a potentially more luxurious option since they are available in different pile depths and prices for all budgets. They feel great underfoot, and are especially cosy in bedrooms. Most come in plain or two-tone finish and traditional patterned designs, making it easy to get the look and feel you want.

After decades of cream and beige, carpets are leading the charge in bringing back colour into our homes! Shades like grey, purple and green are all popular, while striped carpets are a favourite for stairs and landing areas, kids' bedrooms, where they can add a welcome dash of colour.

Think about underlay as well, to cushion your carpet and keep the pile from being flattened so that it retains its appearance. It also helps reduce noise, retains heat and is a great shock absorber, while adding longer life to your carpet as well.

With so much to think about, it’s important to use a retailer you trust, so you choose the right carpets for the right areas of your home or business, at the most competitive price.
