Carpets
“Carpet” refers to a textile floor covering typically made from woven or tufted fabric, designed to cover the floor of a room. It usually consists of an upper layer of pile attached to a backing. Our carpets are made from the highest quality wool or nylon, and can be either cut or looped.
Home Flooring can offer a wide range of carpets depending on your requirements. Our specialist carpet fitters can lay your chosen carpet in any space throughout your home to the very highest of standards.
