Designer Rib

Flooring is priced per job rather than per metre off a shelf. The final figure depends on the room size and shape, the underlay you choose, whether we're lifting an old floor, door trims, and the fitting itself. With a directional carpet the layout affects quantity too. The free home measure is how you get a real number.

A loop pile has yarn loops across the surface in no particular direction. A rib pile runs in fine parallel lines, so the floor has a visible grain to it. Rib looks cleaner and more contemporary; loop looks softer and more traditional. Neither is more hardwearing than the other as a rule — it comes down to the look you want.

Same wool, same palette, different surface. Rib has a fine linear grain and looks sharper, but the direction it runs matters and joins need more care. Weave has no set direction, so it's more forgiving in awkward rooms and where one space flows into another. We'll bring both to the measure and you can see them on your own floor.

It can be, but it's worth talking through first. A directional texture behaves differently over stair nosings than a plain carpet does, and it's the kind of thing worth getting right before you order rather than after. We'll tell you honestly if we think another range would suit your stairs better.

We do. We arrange fitting across Clydebank, Glasgow and the surrounding areas, including uplift and disposal of your old flooring if needed.
