Get Relief from Allergies with carpets at suffolk carpet weavers

We are well and truly in allergy season and many of us are suffering with hay fever and other types of allergies. 

Contrary to public opinion, carpets can help in the reduction of allergens in your home: that is a fact and this is especially true when you ensure carpet cleaning is done on a strict and regular schedule. New carpet is the lowest VOC (volatile organic compound) emitting flooring choice available. It actually acts as an air filter, trapping dust, pollen and other particles and removing them from the breathing zone.

“Studies have shown that people with asthma problems have seen symptoms improve with carpet”. Ref: Carpet Institute However, if you happen to neglect regular carpet cleaning procedures, this will be the cause of certain health concerns and problems which you may not be aware of.

Carpet Cleaning Tips to Reduce and Stop Allergens at Home

  • Have a regular schedule on carpet cleaning; make sure that you follow your schedules and never neglect them to provide constant cleanliness in and out of your floor carpet
  • Carpet is known to trap allergens that aggravate a person’s health; take time to vacuum and deep clean your carpet to eliminate the growth of bad allergens in your carpet.
  • Use a vacuum that comes with a HEPA filter.
  • Carpet cleaning comes best when done at six to nine months.

At Suffolk Carpet Weavers, we sell and fit wool and synthetic carpets and also vinyl flooring and the latest on-trend easy care luxury vinyl tiles. We can also help you design your own unique carpet here too. Unit 5, Bridge Business Park, Top Street, Old Martlesham IP12 4RB

1.      The cool tones of wood effect flooring is always popular. But this year warm and vibrant colours are trending – artistic patterns in arc and curved designs (as opposed to sharp angular heritage and Victorian style tiles).

 2.       A big trend is to combine flooring. Mixing wood and tile and mismatching shapes and textures. Combination flooring in an open plan space works well in differentiating spaces such as a formal dining room space or edging a fireplace.

 3.       Geometric Patterns – renovating old properties or styling a new build with the resurgence of heritage tiling – geometric LVT is huge this year and looks to remain popular in years to come, even though the newest trend of softer edges is certainly popular.

 4.       Neutral Tones – the benefits of neutral tones are many, with the biggest being that they allow you to be more creative / experimental with your other interior design and they allow you to change your décor as they match with so many more colours and effects – so if you like repainting or wallpapering regularly, a neutral tone will work best for you. The warmer colour trends of the past few years are now making way for cooler ashy tones.

 5.       Herringbone and Chevron Patterns – Herringbone has always been popular as it is a classic design and works perfectly well in small or large spaces.

 Chevron is taking over the herringbone pattern in popularity as it is a more modern take on the classic. It is a very pleasing pattern that can showcase the wood effect planks really well.

 2023 flooring styles should be clean, cool and uncomplicated and her at Suffolk Carpet Weavers Ltd, we can assist and support you through the whole process – from start to finish. If you are having one room fitted or an entire houseful of flooring, we will be there to help you.

Brockway carpets has launched its NEW Herdwick Herringbone Runners for 2022 that are made from the same Herdwick range – so now you can co-ordinate your runner with the Lakeland Herdwick range carpets available.

These runners are grown in Cumbria, spun in Yorkshire and woven in Kidderminster. They are woven using a combination of undyed wool yarns combined or paired with black, the colours reflect the earthy rustic palette of the Cumbrian hills and fells.

These runners are authentically British carpets that are rugged and durable due to the natural resilience of one of Britain’s best loved and hardiest sheep breeds.

Available at Suffolk Carpet Weavers Ltd. Call, email or pop into the showroom to take a look.

Carpet is making a welcome comeback for 2022.

Whichever room you are decorating, it’s worth making a fuss of the floor. In a living room, we recommend a statement rug or carpet. Not only will it ground the room but it can serve as the starting point from which to build the scheme. It’s a worthwhile investment, and your feet will thank you come winter.

By treating the floor as the ‘5th wall’, carpet is a fantastic way to introduce colour or pattern into your home. The floor should not be an after-thought, instead the entire room can be styled from the floor up!

Choosing a bright, bold contrasting colour or pattern in rich tones or geometrics, the carpet can be a way of self-expression. Or alternatively an earthy, organic natural carpet is something that will endure for many years.

Almost all carpet manufacturers have ranges covering both styles and the choice then falls on the individual and it should be considered next to the other 4 walls. Some trends currently taking hold are below. These can bring great joy and comfort to a person when used correctly.

1.      The natural option

2.      Eco-chic

3.      Hotel Luxe

4.      Bold and Bright

5.      Maximalism

6.      Pattern Play

7.      Geometrics

8.      Jewel Tones

The Christmas tree is up and the sheep kindly donated by www.hughmackay.com are helping to create the festive cheer in the showroom. We have decided to have a wool theme this year at Suffolk Carpet Weavers, and have made the hats for the sheep and the pom poms for the Christmas Tree. The wool theme has been chosen because we buck the trend of most carpet retailers and sell mostly woollen carpets which we have starting from as little as £16.99 per square metre. We stock synthetics too at various prices but our customers seem to prefer wool.

 

Pop into our showroom to take a look around at all of our ranges. We have a large two-storey showroom in Old Martlesham that has many ranges and styles. Call us or pop in.
