Not only are wool carpets beautiful to look at, but they are also very practical. The integral characteristics of the fibres; warmth, durability and insulation, are carried through from field to floor. There are many benefits associated with opting for a wool carpet.

Wool is sustainable and biodegradable as well as recyclable, so it won’t spend years taking up space in a landfill, making wool carpets not only a great choice for your home but also for the planet.  Being a natural fibre, carpets made of wool are extremely hard-wearing and all are suitable for heavy domestic use and as wool has a natural ‘crimp’ in the fibre meaning, it means that the carpet can bounce back after being trodden on, allowing the carpet to retain its original appearance and reduce wear and tear, perfect for a busy home.

We cover Lechlade and all the local villages including: Buscot, Downington, Grafton, Inglesham, Kelmscott and Little Faringdon.

Carpet Types

With so many different types of carpet, including colours, textiles, and designs to choose from, it can be difficult to choose the best carpet for your home.   Without a doubt, every new carpet will make a significant difference to any room.

Generally, carpets are categorised in to 3 different types:

Our Products & Services

Carpet Materials

Nylon
Nylon is very soft, durable, and resistant to stains. It has good resistance to wear, mould, and mildew, and it is easy to dye and holds its colour well. It is, overall, a great choice for a carpet fabric.

Polypropylene
Polypropylene is the most popular carpet fibre and is now as soft as nylon, however, it can be much lower in price than both wool and nylon. A main feature of a polypropylene carpet is that it is highly stain-resistant but can be prone to soiling and holding onto oils which in turn, collect dirt. It is, however, incredibly easy to clean, bleach can even be used as part of the cleaning process. Overall, polyproplene carpets account for approximately 80% of all carpet sales.

Wool
Wool is a natural, luxurious and long-lasting material.
Lower-grade wool is more prone to staining, while high-grade wool can be expensive. Most manufacturers combine wool with manmade fibres to create a carpet with the benefits of both. Pure wool carpet is made without chemicals or additives, which makes it an excellent choice for those with allergies. Better quality wool carpets will retain warmth, unlike lower grade wool carpets.  Undeniably, wool carpets are a great investment for any home.

Carpet Underlay

The choice of a carpet underlay is just as important as the choice of the carpet. Here are the main undeniable advantages of a decent underlay:

Luxury carpet underlays are thick and dense, which provides that undeniable fantastic underfoot feeling. The underlay will absorb any impact and be a comforting cushion on your feet when you walk. This makes for a very comfortable experience when walking on a carpet with a quality underlay.

An underlay with a higher tog rating will without a doubt provide some extra insulation. The thick and dense materials block the cold air and prevent the warm air from escaping. A new underlay can certainly reduce heating bills by approximately 15%.

A quality underlay will additionally help prevent wear and tear on the carpet, which can extend the life of a carpet by up to 50%. It will also protect your flooring from any moisture that may be present within the subfloor, otherwise damage may occur from damp.

A great underlay will help a carpet retain its spring for longer. Furthermore, it also prevents the pile from flattening as quickly as it may do on an old underlay. It will also help maintain a quieter home.
