Why carpet?

Carpet is by far the most popular and versatile floor covering solution on the market. And it’s easy to see why.

Décor versatility

Complement your décor theme – or create an entire new one – from the extensive range of carpet colours and surface textures. Visit the Manufacturers and Retailers web sites to see - the choice of carpet styles, textures and constructions have never been greater.

 

Warmth

Experience the feeling of warmth and inclusion with soft cushioning underfoot. Safety

Protect your family by providing a slip free floor surface. For small children, carpet cushions the falls that come with learning to crawl or walk. For the elderly, the slippery surface of a tile or wood floor can be extremely hazardous.

Thermal insulation

Homes with carpets are cooler in summer, warmer in winter and much quieter – now that’s comfort.

Acoustic comfort

Can’t hear yourself over the din? Carpet softens harsh sounds and creates a quieter, more peaceful indoor environment.

Ease of maintenance

A good vacuum cleaner, a periodic wet clean and prompt attention to spills is all you need to keep your carpet looking good.

 

Value for money

With the wide range of carpet available, there is a solution for practically every budget and décor need.

Tip: When comparing prices on vinyl, wood ceramic tiles, etc remember that carpet is often sold and quoted by the linear metre or ‘broadloom metre’ (1m x 3.67m) while most other products are sold and described in square metres (1m x 1m). That means, you are getting around 3½ times more carpet for the comparable square metre price of other products.
