Buying a carpet: Where to start

We all have different needs and expectations of wear, comfort and appearance retention – not to mention budgets! Finding carpet to suit your needs is not as difficult as you might think – even if you are faced with a sea of similar products all making the same claims.

Aside from British, look for the Quality Mark. Any carpet displaying this mark has passed rigorous British and international product tests for luxury, comfort and wear which guarantees its suitability for your home. It is the only quality assurance initiative in the UK carpet industry.

Look for the Quality Mark on products from Abingdon, Axminster, Brintons, Causeway, Cavalier, Pownall, Ryalux, Ulster, Victoria, Westex and Woodward Grosvenor.

You really can believe what it says on the label!
