FAQs

  • Underlay is an extra layer that goes underneath the carpet, protecting the carpet, providing insulation and extra comfort underfoot. 

    Underlay is essential when buying a new carpet. Often overlooked in favour of the old underlay before it, which is prone to crumble or collapse – especially in high traffic areas, new underlay has a multitude of essential benefits. 

    Although the extra under-foot comfort is a welcome benefit of underlay, it's main purpose is to protect your carpet during it's everyday use. By absorbing some of the impact of footfall, quality underlay can prevent pile flattening and extend the lifetime of your new carpet by up to 50%.

  • A ‘tog’ is the unit of measurement we use to show a flooring product thermal insulating property.  The higher the carpet tog value, the more it will retain heat and the better it will be at insulating.

    Tog is very important in the flooring world depending on your needs – higher will help insulate a home better, but lower tog will work better with underfloor heating.  The overall tog value of a chosen flooring option will also include the underlay.

Saxony Carpet FAQ's

Saxony carpet is a cut loop pile carpet. Its pile is designed to be incredibly dense for a soft feel underfoot, making it a popular choice for bedrooms and living rooms.

Sometimes, Saxony carpets are called plush carpets, based on their luxurious style and feel. They have a velvet-like appearance, created by tightly twisting the carpet fibres, cutting them and then heating them so they stand up straight.
