I've checked out Ruggable and Tumble Rugs. Ruggable is probably the most well-known, but reviews are pretty hit or miss, and the 8×10 price feels a bit steep. Tumble Rugs also get mixed opinions depending on who you ask....

We need approximately 55 m2, including the stairs. My husband is allergic to wool, so it needs to be man-made. We like low-pile, dark or medium-grey carpets. We don't like shiny or speckled ones. We'd like to spend up to £25 per m2 (excluding underlay and installation).

(sorry just realised my original post wasn't in the carpet / textile thread)

Don't suppose anyone has the real name for a Tapi carpet called 'Portsmouth Ashurst'

I’m trying to locate a grey and white striped loop carpet (either wool or wool blend) for my landing and stairs. I’ve browsed all the UK carpet manufacturers I can find and the online carpet stores but haven’t been able to find the right thing.

Ideally I want this style carpet:

I've got a Georgian concrete stairway, customer wants Unnatural Flooring New England finishing under the nosings on the landings and Half Landings, into a runner on the flights. The noses have a bead under so only give a small recess to fix to.

I was wondering what you guys do as a go-to for finish in this situation?]]> 2 Sat, 19 Apr 2025 05:47:13 +0000 https://theflooringforum.com/threads/help.25599/ https://theflooringforum.com/threads/help.25599/ invalid@example.com (Fish) Fish View attachment 12687 View attachment 12688 Can any help with identifying these please tia]]> 2 Thu, 10 Apr 2025 21:47:56 +0000 https://theflooringforum.com/threads/which-carpet.23411/ https://theflooringforum.com/threads/which-carpet.23411/ invalid@example.com (Kbm104) Kbm104
I've currently got Cormar Malibar two fold in Iron.

The issues are in the bedroom and sitting room but not the hall/stairs.

I've had moth infestations and don't want to go for wool again (even though my carpet is moth resistant).

I don't know much about polypropylene carpet and have to get the carpet from Flooring Superstore.

I have seen a carpet called Malta, which is 11mm, Action backing and twist. I don't know if...

Wanted to get the experts opinion on the above please.

I am looking to lay Victoria's Ultimate Impressions' twist carpet in 5 Bedrooms + the Landing and Staircase.

This was chosen after comparing with Cormar's Primo Ultra & Grande carpet ranges - I hope I have made the right decision?

The Victoria carpet has a pile height of 15mm and a total thickness of 17mm - would such a high pile height be suitable for high traffic areas like the staircase and hallway? Or would...
