Are we really a hard floor country – or has climate change made the winter suddenly more bearable?? The answer to both is probably no.

The choice of wood, LVT, SPC and ubiquitous laminates is huge, and this before sheet cushioned vinyl which is a bit of a Trago speciality, with big names to include Rhinofloor, Leoline, Tarkett, IVC and Juteks providing up to 170 choices in-store in 2, 3 & 4 metre widths – all ready to take away and lay without delay! Horses for courses for sure …but don’t overlook the virtues of a lovely warm and welcoming carpet! 



Advantages of Broadloom Carpets

Just as pets are not simply for Christmas, neither should luxurious and practicable broadloom carpet be relegated to upstairs and the bedroom. It has many more facets than simply sufficing that purpose, and is often the best option for use throughout the home, as there is no end of styles and finishes that will complement easy living or other rooms where utility is the first consideration: twist, frisé, shag, deep-pile saxony, flat-weave or cord—carpet has all bases covered! 

One of the biggest advantages of carpets is the tactile comfort they bring. There’s nothing quite like stepping onto a soft, plush carpet after a long day. Not only are carpets cosy and warm, but they also provide great insulation during colder months, making rooms like bedrooms and living areas feel inviting. Unlike hard flooring, which can be cold and unwelcoming underfoot, carpets add a sense of luxury and homeliness. It’s worth noting too that while good carpet also lends itself to a tactile aesthetic that harder surfaces cannot, many carpets can be installed where underfloor heating is present without compromising its efficiency—just ensure that the combined carpet and underlay Tog value does not exceed 2.5. 

Additionally, modern carpets are designed to withstand everyday wear and tear, offering long-lasting durability. Plus, they come in a variety of styles, colours, and patterns, making them versatile enough to suit any interior design. But one of their biggest advantages is their cost. Compared to hard flooring options—like engineered wood or luxury vinyl—carpets are generally much more affordable than any hard floor when counting the total cost of the material and its installation. A splendid carpet can be on the floor for well less than £20 m², with many recommended options below even £10… at Trago. Multiply those figures by 2, 3, or even 4 times if doing it the ‘hard’ way!
