FAQ'S and tips - CARPETS
CARPETS
What type of carpet should I buy?
Depending on the area in the home. It is generally accepted
that a lighter weight quality is suitable for Bedrooms,
whilst a heavier weight should be used in areas of higher
use such as Living Rooms, Hallways, Staircases & Landings.
Where the same carpet is required for a complete house then
the heavier carpet should be used throughout.
Do I need an underlay?
Yes. The use of a good quality underlay is recommended to
go under all carpets.
In some cases, where carpets are manufactured on a felt
back these can be used without an underlay, but an underlay
should be used on stairs.
Should I have the carpet professionally
fitted?
Definitely, and for the following reasons:
PROFESSIONAL PLANNING
Ensures that:
1. the pile direction is run in accordance with recommended
practices
2. waste is kept to a minimum.
3. the correct widths are used in each area.
The above can only be carried by expert, properly trained
people.
Our company, with almost three decades of trading behind
it can assure clients that it is able to provide such services.
PROFESSIONAL CARPET FITTING
Unless you have the correct carpet fitting tools and some
previous experience it is not advisable to attempt to fit
a carpet oneself.
Carpet fitting is often an underrated trade. One of the
main causes of wear in carpets results from them not being
properly stretched. A professional
carpet fitter will ensure that the carpet is fitted to
the correct tension.
How should I maintain my Carpet?
Use a good quality vacuum cleaner every day to remove surplus
grime to avoid damaging fibres.
The use of an upright cleaner with a beater bar is recommended
with all cut pile carpets, while a suction cleaner is recommended
to use with loop pile carpets.
Always use a professional cleaning company to clean your
carpets rather than attempting to shampoo them yourself.
Should I have my Carpet protected
with Scotchguard?
Yes. The product we sell makes the stain removal easier,
and also provides a 5 year guarantee that should the carpet
be stained, and the stain cannot be removed, then the carpet
would be replaced Free of Charge.
