    Has any one fitted No bother sisal from alternative flooring ?
    It can be stretch fitted as its on a secondary backing, but sample does seem pretty stiff.
    Its a large room around 6.50 m square, for various reason I cannot stick the carpet so this is an option .

    I did speak to alternative flooring and they put me on to Mike whale nicf he suggested not stretching it.too much as it may cause shrinkage , although he had fitted it nothing as big as the room in about to do

    Stretcher on sisal? That won’t look good if it slips

    I can’t see that stopping it shrink. We fitted some Lano crud made out of bamboo, looked like synthetic. They told the customer it could be stretch fitted and it all shrunk.

    well it went down okay, it is stiff but once in the room warmed up it actually fitted fine, and the join was pretty decent, does not fray like normal naturals.
    ........lets hope it stable and doesnt move:)

    Hi, I've been trying to find some advice on this as I'm thinking about getting it myself, wondered I you could give an update on how it's been? I.e. any problems? Thanks
