    Did this prob 6 months ago, back today for more quotes,
    Really don't see the appeal of stripes and plain, getting asked to do more and more like it, tbh makes my eyes go funny!

    i like a few stripes westex oxford stripe and brintons stripe collection have a decent colour bank, bond street from headlam is an ok'ish wilton but i do prefer a heathered twist any day of the week rather than a stripe.

    Can't beat a patterned carpet! Seriously tho, some of the Britons patterns look the nuts

    They look like lifestyle stripes?,and the wide band nobility stripe has caught me out when estimating due to the pattern repeat on the width a couple of times.Good pics tho.

    Yes, very valid point.PLEASE ALL TAKE NOTE

    The DB noise that it gives off , WILL damage your hearing. Like most things it dont take effect straight away, give it 10 years and hearing loss will defo come around.

    Rubber mallet should be used to protect your hearing, along with the shock to your wrists is reduced. I personally suffer from nerve damage to my wrists and fingers caused by vibration. Its not nice.

    With the added bonus that when you miss and hit your hand it don't hurt half as a much.

    Now im busy training all day my body takes far less abuse. However my left wrist has been out of use all week and i have had no feeling in one of my fingers all week. I get by but the days of me being able to use both hands are gone. You may as-well chop my left arm off, it is of almost no use for practical demos etc. I will keep it tho please as its still good for helping me eat my dinner and holding stuff!

    Absolute twot to line up some 4m patterns only have 3 repeats.
    Plus if you miss the match between the riser and the tread over the landing by an eighth it looks awful one of my least favourite mats to install.

    Yeah it is (lano), out of interest how long have they been fitted? I've done 5 in the last 18months, no probs yet.However I did say to all the clients that the stripes would distort with wear, just thought with any stripe it would be likely to happen.
