Buying Guide for
Rugs
Rugs are great for adding colour texture and style to a
room. They make wooden floors warmer and stone floors more
comfortable and are great over carpets to add a touch of luxury. We
have loads of different rugs to choose from so
we've put this guide together to help you pick the right rug for your home.
Wool
Rugs
- Many of our wool
rugs are hand tufted which means they are made completely by
hand. Craftsmen individually thread strands of wool through a
canvas. A backing fabric is then attached to keep the strands in
place
- Wool rugs tend to be hard wearing and therefore offer
great value for money
- The pile of a wool
rug is soft and luxurious
Sheepskin
Rugs
- Sheepskin rugs are available in single or double
sizes
- Sheepskins are joined together to create a larger rug
- Sheepskins can successfully be dyed so rugs are available in
various different colours
Synthetic
Rugs
- Synthetic rugs are durable and hardwearing
- Synthetic rugs are easy to care for and can be sponged
or vacuumed
- A Synthentic rug provides economical floor
covering with a vast range of colours and designs to choose
from
Door
Mats
- Door mats are designed for keeping carpets and other
floor coverings clean especially from dirty shoes or Wellington
boots
- Rubber doormats with deep grooves are designed
for removing the mud from your wellies so they are ideal for
outside the back door
- Carpet mats with
rubber backing stay in position and do not slip on the floor
- Coir mats are ideal for cleaning your shoes when you
enter the house. Coir is made from the husk of the coconut shell
and is incredibly hardwearing
Anti Slip
Backing
- It is vital to use anti slip backing if you are using rug on a smooth floor
covering such as wood or linoleum
- We sell various different sizes but the felt like backing can
easily be cut to any size
- Our anti slip backing is 100% guaranteed to stop a rug from slipping
Care
- We recommend that all rugs are cared for
according to their individual care instructions found on the
packaging or on the reverse of the rug it's self
- Cylinder vacuum cleaners are better to care for rugs as upright cleaners
may cause damage to the pile
- Be as gentle as possible when vacuuming a rug using the tools rather
than the main vacuum it's self
- Stains should be removed by dabbing not rubbing and only ever
use cold water
- Wool rugs normally need to be professionally cleaned;
you should check individual care instructions carefully
