Hi guys. new to this, but looking for advice having taken bad advice in the past on carpets going flat and feeling like a waist of money months after being fitted. Currently looking for a good quality carpet for our hall stairs and landing! Previous was terrible flat and poor quality but my own naive mistake. 2 kids and a staff at home that loves zooooomies up the stairs. popped into a local shop who recommended I stay clear of wool as it doesn’t like getting wet and if kids if dog have a accident they it’s difficult to clean and I could damage the look. They pointed me in the direction of Cormar primo ultra & Linwood but doing some digging they seem prone to delaminating? Can anyone confirm this? another option is the abington ultra/twist 2 x thicknesses seems a reputable brand. I’m going with all new premium rods and a good quality underlay as I’m fully aware good prep has a massive impact on finished results. just really struggling as I don’t want to make a mistake on the brand and range.
Ive always liked primo ultra and Abingdon is a great manufacturer. Not sure about linwood. Register the carpet online for the warranty if you use cormar, that will help if it does delaminate
Hey Pocus, Forget the names and brands etc. Just feel the carpet. You're looking for a carpet that is as dense as possible with a pile which isn't too deep. Rods will make no difference but it would be sensible to use a decent underlay which is around 8-10mm thick. Hope this helps! Steve Pro-Fit Floor Coverings
