Why choose a sustainable wall-to-wall carpet?
Wall-to-wall carpet creates a luxurious, comfortable atmosphere in your living and bedroom. Laid from wall to wall, it not only offers a warm appearance but also smart benefits for your interior:
- Stain-resistant and dust-repellent. Dust particles remain in the carpet instead of floating around the house. This means you can't see them with the naked eye, and you only need to vacuum regularly.
- Sound-absorbing. Ideal for better acoustics in the home and a quieter, more pleasant living environment.
- Heat-insulating. Wool rugs are known for their soft and warm texture. They retain heat, making them very good heat conductors and work perfectly in combination with underfloor heating.
- Flame-retardant. Natural wool or treated sisal does not catch fire like wood or synthetic carpet. On the contrary, it extinguishes itself, providing extra safety.

Frequently asked questions
Does the subfloor need to be level for installing wall-to-wall carpet?
Yes, a flat and clean surface is important. Irregularities can remain visible or affect comfort. If necessary, a leveling underlayment can help.
Can the wall-to-wall carpet be laid over an existing floor?
This depends on the subfloor. Wall-to-wall carpet can usually be laid without problems over a hard, even floor such as concrete or tiles. If the existing floor is carpet, it can be expertly removed by our professionals. The rates for this are available upon request.
Should the skirting boards be installed before the wall-to-wall carpet is laid?
It is ideal to install skirting boards only after laying the carpet, so that they fit nicely and no gaps are created. If the skirting boards are already in place, the carpet can be laid tightly against them, but the finish will be slightly less seamless.

The ideal room temperature for laying and maintaining wall-to-wall carpet is around 20°C. This ensures that the carpet can optimally adapt to the space and prevents tension or distortion during installation.
Can I combine wall-to-wall carpet with underfloor heating?
Yes, provided that the carpet has a low thermal resistance and is suitable for underfloor heating.
What is an underlay and is it necessary to install it?
An underlay is a layer beneath the wall-to-wall carpet that provides sound insulation and a longer lifespan. In combination with the adhesive, the total thickness is 6mm. Laying an underlay is not necessary but provides extra comfort.
