Practical Make-up
Most of our carpets contain a yarn blend of 80% wool and 20% nylon. Over many years this has proved to be the most economical and practical blend for homes, combining the softness, comfort and warmth of wool with the hardwearing properties of nylon.
An 80/20 woven carpet is:
- Superbly resilient - it recovers well from shoe and furniture pressure
- Resistant to soiling and easy to clean
- Naturally flame retardant
- Good at improving indoor air quality - wool absorbs and neutralises air pollutants
- Good at absorbing dyes - carpets have rich, clear colouration
- Good moisture buffering and electrostatic properties - by absorbing and releasing water it is free from static problems improving our well being
- Retains its luxurious appearance, with good looks that last!

LARGER ROOMS
Wastage
When pricing a carpet installation it is important to consider wastage. Ulster Carpets offer axminster up to 4.57m in multiple widths – typically 4.57m, 3.66m, 2.74m, 1.83m and 0.91m. The multi-widths available can result in a significant reduction in waste.
Seams
In a larger room, seams can be unsightly and should be minimised where possible. Ulster Carpets offer carpet in widths up to 4.57m (axminster ranges) and 5m (most plain ranges) thus reducing the requirement for seams in larger rooms.
HALLS, STAIRS AND LANDINGS
Flexible Widths
For halls, stairs and landings the 6ft (1.83m) and 3ft (0.91m) widths offered by Ulster Carpets provide the perfect solution. When an estimator measures and plans an installation, these multi-widths maximize the use of the carpet and minimize waste and joins. By choosing Ulster Carpet you:
- Save money
- Have fewer joins
- Reduce installation time
