FAQs
Do I need to use underlay with this carpet?
No, the felt backing is designed for direct installation. However, using underlay is optional and can enhance comfort, insulation, and prolong the carpet's life.
Can this carpet be used on stairs?
Yes, the hard-wearing twist pile and stable backing make it suitable for use on stairs, provided it is installed securely with appropriate stair rods or grippers.
How do I clean pet accidents on this carpet?
Blot up excess liquid immediately. Clean the area with a mild bleach solution (test first in a hidden spot) and water, blotting gently with a clean cloth. Rinse with clean water and blot dry.
What is the pile height of this carpet?
The pile height is 7mm.
Is this carpet suitable for a bathroom?
While bleach-cleanable, this carpet is primarily recommended for lounge, stairs, and bedrooms. It is not designed for high-moisture environments like bathrooms.
What colors are available?
This specific guide is for the Bronze color. Other colors such as Black, Grey, and Copper are available in the Underfoot Haven range.
Can I install this carpet myself?
Yes, the felt backing and construction are designed to be relatively easy for DIY installation, especially if you are comfortable with basic cutting and fitting.
Troubleshooting
Carpet appears uneven after installation
Ensure the carpet has fully relaxed before cutting and that the subfloor is perfectly level. Check that carpet grippers are correctly installed and tensioned.
Stains are difficult to remove
Try using a specific carpet stain remover suitable for polypropylene. For approved stains, a mild bleach solution can be used sparingly, followed by thorough blotting. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Carpet feels too firm underfoot
Consider adding a layer of underlay during installation. A denser, higher-quality underlay will provide significantly more cushioning and comfort.
Fraying edges after cutting
Ensure a very sharp blade is used for cutting. Apply a carpet binding adhesive or tape to the edges after cutting to prevent further fraying.
