Rugs are great for adding colour texture and style to a room. They make wooden floors warmer and stone floors more comfortable and are great over carpets to add a touch of luxury. There are loads of different rugs to choose from so we've put this guide together to help you pick the right rug for your home.

    • Wool Rugs
    • Sheepskin Rugs
    • Synthetic Rugs
    • Door Mats
    • Anti Slip Backing
    • Care

Wool Rugs

    • Many wool rugs are hand tufted which means they are made completely by hand. Craftsmen individually thread strands of wool through a canvas. A backing fabric is then attached to keep the strands in place
    • Wool rugs tend to be hard wearing and therefore offer great value for money
    • The pile of a wool rug is soft and luxurious

Sheepskin Rugs

    • Sheepskin rugs are available in single or double sizes
    • Sheepskins are joined together to create a larger rug
    • Sheepskins can successfully be dyed so rugs are available in various different colours

Synthetic Rugs

    • Synthetic rugs are durable and hardwearing
    • Synthetic rugs are easy to care for and can be sponged or vacuumed
    • A Synthentic rug provides economical floor covering with a vast range of colours and designs to choose from

Door Mats

    • Door mats are designed for keeping carpets and other floor coverings clean especially from dirty shoes or Wellington boots
    • Rubber doormats with deep grooves are designed for removing the mud from your wellies so they are ideal for outside the back door
    • Carpet mats with rubber backing stay in position and do not slip on the floor
    • Coir mats are ideal for cleaning your shoes when you enter the house. Coir is made from the husk of the coconut shell and is incredibly hardwearing

Anti Slip Backing

    • It is vital to use anti slip backing if you are using rug on a smooth floor covering such as wood or linoleum
    • You can buy various different sizes but the felt like backing can easily be cut to any size
    • Our anti slip backing is 100% guaranteed to stop a rug from slipping

Care

    • We recommend that all rugs are cared for according to their individual care instructions found on the packaging or on the reverse of the rug it's self
    • Cylinder vacuum cleaners are better to care for rugs as upright cleaners may cause damage to the pile
    • Be as gentle as possible when vacuuming a rug using the tools rather than the main vacuum it's self
    • Stains should be removed by dabbing not rubbing and only ever use cold water
    • Wool rugs normally need to be professionally cleaned; you should check individual care instructions carefully
