Choosing a carpet - Budget

When setting your budget there are several other products you must take into consideration besides the price of the carpet. The CarpetCarpet.co.uk instant quotes will indicate how much the carpet will cost, however, the following are all items or services you may wish to consider for the best results to be achieved.

Underlay

Most carpets require underlay. A good underlay will support your carpet prolonging its life and maintaining its good looks. Underlays provide luxury and comfort as well as sound and heat insulation.

Gripper Rods

Gripper rods or smoothedge, as it is often known, is required for "hard-backed" carpets (by that it is meant any carpet which does not have a built-in underlay).

It is fitted around the perimeter of the room and the carpet is stretched over it and tucked between the rod and the skirting board. The pins hold the carpet tightly in place and give a neat smooth finish unlike old-fashioned methods, which shows where each nail has been placed.

Metal Door Plates

Doorplates are used to neatly finish the carpet off and prevent fraying of raw edges. The two main finishes are aluminium or synbrass, and are produced in numerous profiles to join any two types of material together.
