whats your favourite carpet?

I agree again with you Matt, penthouse are a dream to fit, even in the winter the backing is nice and supple. Its apity other manufacturers dont make their carpets the same. I supply a lot of startwist and heathertwist, by Lano carpets, and not only do they perform well,but they are lovely to fit aswell

 

Anything from Victorias's or Brockway, the backing is awsome. You can stretch them tight enough to bounce a coin on, even when its cold.

 

hello Lambchop great to see you on here, and i agree brockways and victoria are good carpets to fit

 

I fit quite a lot of Tomkinson Berber & Twist, also Hathaway for Georgian carpets.

A carpet which i sold rolls and rolls of a few years back was Island Weave by AW, it was a good price quite nice to fit and looked good when down........ however I had to back to a job to uplift all the carpet (not because of me but because of the cowboy bulder who built the extension) and I was horrified to see how much it had flattened on the stairs in a relatively short space of time. the carpets were supposed to go back down but by the time the extension was rectified by a new builder only some of the rooms fitted ! Had to order lots of new carpet which was good for me but not for the poor customer :|

cheers

i like victoria carpets also.

 

dont do a lot of carpets now but i also like victorias and some of the cormar range when they get the backing right

 

are victoria and cormar the same thing or am i seeing a queen and then a curry

 

You're chicken oriental Mate..

 

do you mean iam DIM some

 

i like laying star twist, by lano, it fits lovely and performs very well and is bleach cleanable. I sell lots of it

 

i love what you just wrote TED pure passion

 

westex ultima range in the gold weight is lovely to fit should be for the price, also tomkinson stripe costs next to nothing and a lovely 40 oz wool very soft jute backing.

 

I agree westex have a good range of carpets to fit, even in the colder timees of the year they stiil fit nice

 

Ive got to agree that Brockway and victoria make life easier with that backing, nice and light too. For a woven carpet bell twist is pretty nice to fit aswel

 

Also with brockways and victoria the backing does,nt damage the walls etc

 

Did a lounge in Brockway Aspen 2day, 7m x 5m and surprise the customer wasnt there to help me in with it again. Lucky it was Brockway or it wouldnt of been fitted

 

i bet it was still a struggle though wasn,t it mate?

 

Yeah, I was thinking I should definatly not be carrying this, the knees were going a bit. Didnt help that the pole was probly half the weight

 

yeh some of the poles are about 1/2inch thick
