Have Your Carpet Installations Done By the Best

At one stage carpet flooring was all the rage and it could be found in every house you visited. The demand led to the production of cheaper carpets, but with the lower price arriving, low quality was not far behind. This substandard flooring soon fell out of fashion, and for a while it was considered rather kitsch and outdated. But you can’t keep a good thing down for too long, and in recent years we have witnessed resurgence in the popularity of carpets, specifically towards the high end of the product range. Very few types of flooring can compete with the absolute luxury of a plush, high-quality carpet. So, as carpet installations went through a revival, carpets returned to its rightful place as royalty amongst flooring choices.

You have two choices when it comes to carpet installations – you can either opt to do it yourself, or you can hire a professional to do the installation for you. While the professionals make it look quite easy, it can be deceivingly difficult to install a carpet yourself, and it is certainly not advised if you do not have experience or are not specifically handy with practical tasks such as this. The task is daunting, and any mistake can leave a permanent reminder of your botched attempt at carpet installations.

The most important thing to remember when laying carpets is the preparation beforehand. It is of utmost importance that you ensure the surface on which you want to lay the carpet is level. If you are doing carpet installations over existing flooring, you can go ahead without much hassle if the old flooring presented a hard surface, such as wood, laminate, tile or even vinyl. If you already have carpeting in the particular room, you will have to lift it before laying the new carpet. Also make very sure that you have the correct underlayment and padding.

Top Carpets and Floors do not only provide you with the best quality carpets, but also with professional installation services. We also offer you an unconditional installation guarantee, so if you are dissatisfied with your carpet installations we will arrange for the immediate resolution of your problem.

Taking Care of Your Floors the Right Way

It is important to realise that taking care of your floors will help you in the long run. A clean and maintained floor will last longer and won’t need to be replaced too quickly. If you find that your floor needs repairs, chat to the Top Carpets and Floors team and have it fixed up as soon as possible to avoid further damage.

When looking into the best ways of taking care of your floors, consider the following for carpet and laminates maintenance:

  • Laminate Flooring – this flooring type is protected by its thick outer layer from scratches, scuffs and stains. While it is not easily damaged and does not require any waxes and polishes, it is essential that it is mopped regularly and any spills are immediately cleaned up. Regular vacuuming and then mopping down with a damp mop and ammonia based detergent is all that is required to keep this floor in excellent condition.
  • Carpets – carpets require a little more cleaning and maintenance than a laminate floor. It is essential that you vacuum it regularly and should be careful not to spill on the carpet for fear of stains. At Top Carpets and Floors there is a range of carpeting that is resistant to moisture and spills too! Vacuum your carpet regularly and ensure that the Spillguard underlay is used to protect the carpet from stains and of course, rising damp.

All flooring types will require some cleaning and maintenance efforts.
