Carpet Buying Guide

Carpet - nothing looks like it, feels like it or performs like it.

It enhances the peace and quiet of your home by absorbing sound. It insulates against the cold, cushions your feet with comfort, and adds safety helping to prevent slips and falls and protecting dropped objects from being damaged.

And because carpet is a key decorative element in the home and a major purchase, you must keep several factors in mind during your selection process.

Perhaps the most important things to consider are these: Does it fit your taste, and does it match your lifestyle?
This section is designed to help demystify carpet selection and provide some guidance before visiting your Carpet One store.
It covers all you will need to know including material properties, colour, finishes, suitable applications and planning. There is even a section on what to take with you when visiting your local Carpet One store so that we can get it right for you. We hope you will find it useful.
