Carpets

Fibre Bonded Carpet:

This product is a hard wearing and durable product which is ideally suited for a high volume of foot traffic. Most fibre bonded carpets are Anti-Static and therefore are very ideal for areas where IT equiptment is used.

Fibre bonded carpets are manufactured in many colours and can have a cord, flat or velour appearance. Most are available in sheet or tile form.

Impervious / Gel backed Carpet:

This product is normally used where cleanliness and ease of cleaning is an important factor, such as Hospitals, Nursing Homes and Nursery areas.

The backing of the carpets offer varying degrees of impermability. This allows spillages to be cleaned and removed quickly and effectively.

These carpets can be cleaned by shampoo and wet methods used for regular maintenance. Impervious backed carpets are manufactured with loop or cut pile surfaces and are available as plain, mottled or patterned styles.

Carpet Tiles:

This product ranges from fibre bonded all the way through to a cut pile which gives the appearance of a broadloom carpet if required.

Carpet tiles are available to meet all budgets and installation types correctly, they are a very effective way of carpeting areas in Schools, Offices, Corridors and Public Areas. Installing carpet tiles can be less disruptive in busy offices and can eliminate the “shutdown” of areas.

In corridors, tiles can be more cost effective than sheet products which could prove wasteful. Damaged areas of carpet tiles can be replaced easily, and full recovers avoided.

Contract Vinyls

These products are available in sheet and tile form. When laid in sheet form and thermowelded on site it becomes completely impervious to moisture, making it ideal in areas where soiling / spillage is likely such as Dining Rooms, Classrooms, Hairdressers and Corridors. Available in a wide range of colours and designs including wood effect.

Linoleum:

Linoleum is manufactured from Linseed oil, Rosin, Wood Flour, Limestone and Colour Pigments and backed with Jute. This produces a very durable floorcovering which is ideal for classrooms, corridors and canteens. It is available in a wide range of colours.

Slip Resistant Vinyl:

These products come in sheet only and are made from a pvc base with aggregate scattered throughout them, this gives grip when there is water present.

The products go from a standard 2mm gauge up to 4mm gauge depending on the requirements of the area.This type of product can be coved up the wall 150mm to give a tanked system and to facilitate cleaning.

Typically used in Toilets, School Wet Areas, Science labs, Commercial Kitchens and many other areas.

Entrance Matting

These products can vary a lot in cost depending on where and how the mat is to be used.

Some mats are designed to scrape off dirt, whilst others dry moisture. Choosing the correct entrance matting is critical to ensure that it is effective.

The size of the area laid in matting is also important – many people do not stop to wipe their feet and therefore the mat area must be adequate.

Effective Matting can reduce maintenance costs and protect the appearance of the floorcoverings within the building. Entrance matting is available ribbed or to look like a carpet and also it can incorporate a metal finish for extra durability.

Nosings

Nosings are the edge of the step protectors, which are drilled and plugged and bonded to the step edge.

Nosings help to give a contrast edge to the step to meet Health and Safety directives, they also prevent the edges of the floor covering wearing out.
They should be fitted to all step front edges on public staircases in public area's.

They are manufactured in aluminium or uPVC and coloured inserts allow then to be contrasted to the carpet or vinyl to ensure they are highly visible.
