Regency Carpets would like to invite you to come ‘through the keyhole’ with us into a new build 5 bedroom Town House in Steyning, West Sussex.
As a new build project, the timing was tight between the finishing of the building works (in particular needing the floor to dry out) and the arrival of the customer’s furniture moving in. In fact, Regency Carpets were given only 7 days to install the flooring and carpet for the entire house, 5 days for the Karndean flooring they had chosen and 2 days for the carpet.
“Now that we are settled into our new home, we would like to take the opportunity to write our appreciation of the service you provided. We chose three local, reliable companies who specialised in Karndean Flooring …Regency Carpets estimate was the best value for money. They worked efficiently and tidily and nothing was a problem. We are absolutely delighted with the result - what more can we say! Thank you Regency Carpets.”
Mr & Mrs D, Steyning.

With advances in manufacturing technology, 95% of all carpet produced today is tufted. It takes about an hour to make a roll of carpet that might take eight hours to weave. To make tufted carpet, hundreds of yarn-threaded needles are pushed through the primary backing fabric to form loops or tufts, which may be left as is or cut. A heavy adhesive coating is applied to hold the tufts in place and a secondary backing is usually glued on for strength and stability. A wide variety of styles and textures can then be created using various techniques.

Soiling is usually the result of some local condition to which the carpet has been subjected to, or maintenance, or lack of maintenance programme. There is nothing we as manufacturers can do to prevent soiling in use. There are several types of soiling which are quite common:
Spillages - Liquids such as soft drinks, cordials or any drink which contains sugar, particularly hot drinks, is likely to leave a stain. In such instances, professional help should be sought.
Shampoo - if incorrectly applied, can leave sticky soap residues in the fibres which can result in the soiling reappearing quite rapidly.
Dust - which is carried on draughts can soil carpets in various ways, apart from the obvious soiled edges, at gaping skirting boards for instance, dark lines appearing on surface might suggest airborne dust vacuumdrawn through poorly fitted floorboards. Sometimes the shape of floorboards can be seen quite clearly. Air borne dust sometimes shows itself as spots on the carpet, this is due to the air carried on a draught under the carpet escaping through minute holes both in the underlay and the carpet, leaving dust deposited on the pile much like a filter action. In such installations, the use of a lining paper is essential as a preventative measure.
It is the responsibility of the retailer to advise the consumer when the carpet is measured of any poorly fitting doors, skirtings, or floorboards and the consumers responsibility to ensure any remedial work to seal draughts, is carried out before the carpet is fitted, if a resulting complaint is to be avoided.
