This month our MD Mandy got her hands on some fantastic samples of artificial grass. And we love it. With our unreliable British weather, gardens across the nation often end up as a boggy mess or dry and yellow; neither situation is desirable. So whether you want to cheer up your own home or lay down an entire football pitch for your local team, artificial grass is an excellent solution on so many levels. Here in our latest blog we’re going to explain the benefits of this ever popular concept and why you should love it as much as we do.

Despite being promised an Indian Summer that didn’t quite deliver, we love Autumn. And we’re officially making headway through the crunchy leaves, crisp air, and beautiful colours of reds and oranges. With a new season comes new trends as we saw throughout September with Fashion Week in London, New York and Paris. Perhaps unsurprisingly the interior design world isn’t any different with new lines being added to collections from Alternative Flooring and Karndean to name a few.

Despite your best efforts your carpets are likely to become victim to a host of spills, blemishes, and other accidents. You’ll therefore spend a great deal of time cleaning your carpet during its lifetime to ensure that it keeps the vibrancy and comfort it possessed the day it was first laid. However, whilst regular maintenance will keep your carpet looking clean, mistakes are all too regularly made which can do more harm than good. So, whether it is a red wine stain on a cream carpet, unwelcomed dirt from guest’s shoes, or the artistic talents of toddlers displayed on the clean canvas of your floor,... View Article

Take a moment to imagine vinyl. What do you picture? Unfortunately the likelihood is that you conjure up images of cheap industrial style flooring. Perhaps you associate the designs and quality with old school gyms and dining halls and as a result have avoided this fantastic flooring choice as a result. However, this is certainly no longer the case. And it’s therefore time to stop stereotyping vinyl flooring. Manufacturers have done their homework and completed appropriate modifications to vinyl flooring so that new styles of luxury vinyl & Marmoleum are just as attractive as they are durable.
