WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HEATHERED CARPETS?
What exactly is a heathered carpet?
A heathered carpet is a style of carpet that blends multiple yarn colours together. This unique combination creates a beautifully mottled appearance, providing a rich texture and depth that is both visually appealing and practical in terms of hiding stains and dirt.
Is heathered carpet suitable for high-traffic areas?
Absolutely. Due to its multi-tonal appearance and durable weave, heathered carpets are excellent at disguising wear and tear, making them a popular choice for high-traffic areas such as hallways and living rooms.
How do I care for and clean my heathered carpet?
Heathered carpets, like other carpet types, benefit from regular vacuuming to remove dust and dirt. For spills, it’s recommended to blot rather than rub, and to use a mild carpet cleaner if necessary. Regular professional cleaning is also advised to maintain its appearance and longevity.
Does the multi-tonal aspect of heathered carpet limit its design compatibility?
On the contrary, the diverse colour tones in heathered carpet make it exceptionally versatile. It complements a broad range of interior designs, from rustic to contemporary settings.
Can I install underfloor heating beneath my heathered carpet?
Most heathered carpets are compatible with underfloor heating systems. However, it’s important to ensure the carpet and underlay are suitable for such installations. It’s always best to consult with the manufacturer or your supplier (like Ashmore Carpets) for specific recommendations.
Is heathered carpet pet-friendly?
The mottled appearance of heathered carpets can be forgiving when it comes to minor pet-related stains or fur. However, like any carpet, sharp pet claws can snag the fabric. Regularly trimming your pet’s nails and selecting a heathered carpet with a tight weave can help minimise potential damage.
