Carleton Lord Carpets  Flooring Suppliers of Bridgwater

Did you know that you don’t have to have the ‘new build’ carpet and can choose your own?

Steve, owner and manager of Carleton Lord Carpets told us that many people when buying a new home are unaware that they can choose their own carpet supplier.  He said that it’s very easy to let your contractor know that you want to choose another flooring company, they can give you a cost per square meter or a voucher to spend with your preferred supplier.

This gives you a much more comprehensive choice of flooring for your new home and often you can get much better quality flooring, underlay and door bars than you might have before.  Definitely call Steve at Carleton Lord Carpets to find out more details.

Steve knows his stuff, he has had many years of experience within the flooring trade, starting out at Carleton as a fitter, moving on to estimator, and finally when the owner retired, Steve bought the company and now owns and manages the business outright.

Carleton Lord Carpets is moving on with the times too.  Right now, Steve tells me that LVT flooring is the most popular hard flooring on the market.  Luxury Vinyl Tiles (or LVT) are the biggest trend to hit the scene in recent years.  Banish any preconceptions we may have had about certain materials such as vinyl. LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) flooring has evolved in leaps and bounds over recent years to become almost indistinguishable from the materials it imitates. Whether it be wood, stone or fabric, the look is authentic but without the hassle of ongoing maintenance.

What is LVT Flooring?

Unlike vinyl flooring of the past (which came as a roll and resembled linoleum), LVT today comes as a plank or tile. The technology behind LVT reflects advances in vinyl composite materials combined with the ease of laying tiles and planks rather than a roll. Like vinyl rolls, vinyl tiles are made from a sandwich of layers, each layer performing a separate function. The embellishment layer is either a textile fabric or an image printed on paper.

The HD photographic layer is where most progress has been made, resembling natural wood, stone and fabric texture. The finishes are almost indistinguishable from the genuine article. The stability layer provides the weight and sturdiness for the planks/tiles to lay flat. The overall thickness can be anything between 2 and 8mm (including underlay).
