carpets There is a vast amount of contract flooring on the market today and it is always best to look at all the viable options to achieve the best result for your flooring. Here at Ideal Floors 4 U we supply various ranges of carpets for heavy-duty use in a variety of colours. Some contract carpets are made as tiles, others are broadloom carpets in various widths. Carpet tiles tend to be more popular for larger areas as they can cut down on the amount of wastage.

cove An alternative to carpet is contract vinyl. This is compulsory flooring by law in some public places because of its non-slip properties. Manufacturers of these vinyls include Marley, Armstrong, Forbo Nairn and Polyfloor etc. Some areas suited to contract vinyl such as bathrooms and toilets require a cove and capping method of fitting (see illustration), where the vinyl is fitted several inches up the wall and all joins are welded to ensure they are totally waterproof.

Other heavy duty flooring available in both vinyl and carpet tiles is produced by manufacturers such as Amtico, Camaro, Karndean, Expona and Colonia and come in various effects such as wood, stone, slate and marble; grout and borders can then be added to give a unique look. This type of flooring comes in a variety of tile sizes and has a very hard surface for heavy contract wearability in areas with high usage.

fitter Another alternative, popular for pubs and clubs particularly, is heavy duty 100% wool carpets by Axminster. Both traditional and modern designs are available to match existing decor.

An example of a job taken on by us was for a nightclub in High Wycombe where ultra violet yarn was woven into the carpet to give a glowing effect at night (see image). For this type of flooring we used a double-stick down method of fitting to fix the carpet securely to the floor, allowing minimal movement.
