FAQs
Do I need an underlay with this carpet?
The felt backing provides a degree of comfort and cushioning, so an underlay is not strictly required for installation. However, adding a good quality underlay can enhance comfort, improve thermal insulation, and increase the carpet's lifespan.
Is the 'Grey' colour family consistent across all Underfoot Haven products?
While efforts are made for consistency, slight variations in shade can occur between batches. It's advisable to view a sample if an exact colour match is critical.
How do I clean pet accidents on this carpet?
Blot up as much of the liquid as possible immediately. Use a pet-specific carpet cleaner or a solution of mild detergent and water, followed by a bleach-based cleaner if necessary (test first). Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Can this carpet be used on stairs?
Yes, the twist pile and felt backing make it suitable for stairs, provided it is fitted securely with appropriate stair rods or grippers.
What is the total length available?
The carpet is available in 4m widths and can be purchased in lengths up to 25m, allowing for large area coverage.
How durable is the 7mm pile height for high-traffic areas?
The 7mm twist pile made from 100% polypropylene is designed for daily use and is considered durable for standard domestic high-traffic areas like living rooms and hallways.
Can I install this carpet myself?
Yes, the felt backing is designed for easier installation, making it a good option for DIY projects. Ensure you have the necessary tools like a carpet knife, grippers, and adhesive.
Troubleshooting
Carpet appears flat or matted in areas.
Vacuum the carpet thoroughly. If the pile is still flat, try gently brushing the pile with a stiff brush in the direction of the pile to lift and restore its texture.
Visible stain that won't come out with general cleaning.
Test a bleach-cleanable solution in an inconspicuous area first. Apply sparingly to the stain, allow it to sit for a short period as per product instructions, then blot and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Dry the area completely.
Carpet edges are lifting or fraying.
Ensure carpet grippers are properly installed and taut. Trim any excess carpet fibers that are interfering with the edges. For significant lifting, re-adhere the edges using appropriate carpet adhesive.
Noticeable seams where carpet pieces meet.
Ensure the carpet was cut precisely and laid flat. Use a seam roller to press the seams together firmly. For persistent seams, consider professional re-seaming or the use of a seam binding tape.

- Can be installed on most subfloors, including concrete, wood, and existing smooth flooring.
- Compatible with underfloor heating systems if a suitable, breathable underlay is used (check underlay manufacturer's guidelines).
Care:
- General Cleaning: Vacuum regularly to maintain appearance and remove surface dirt. Use a stiff brush to restore pile direction if needed.
- Spills: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a solution of mild detergent or a bleach-based cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Rinse the area thoroughly with clean water and blot dry.
- Maintenance: Avoid excessive moisture. Rotate furniture periodically to prevent uneven wear.
