carpets, rugs and flooring Flooring with integrity


As part of a recent refurbishment, Sevenoaks Hospital in Kent has installed Frontrunner Plus entrance matting in the main double lobby entrance, complete with integral logo to welcome visitors. Manufactured by Plastic Extruders Ltd, Frontrunner Plus is an ideal choice for this type of application where stringent removal of under shoe dirt is vital for health and hygiene. The high performance matting is manufactured with integral absorbent inserts within a vinyl grid. This unique combination scrapes, cleans and dries shoes and wheelchair wheels while any dirt remaining falls through the grid and is not transferred inside by subsequent visitors thus reducing cleaning and maintenance costs. Its closed spaced open grid construction makes it slip-resistant and heel-proof, as well as being stick and wheel-proof, which is particularly important to provide safe and easy access for disabled visitors. Frontrunner Plus can be trimmed easily on site to fit any shape, such as within revolving doors, between sliding doors or inside matwells. This is an important consideration for this kind of application where the irregularly-shaped walls would have made cutting an aluminium-based mat to fit the space a long and costly process.

Ancient style meets


contemporary technique Deirdre Dyson has created a new concept in carpet design. The Mosaic Collection is inspired by the ancient mosaics in Pompeii and Portugal and the new designs blend rustic colours and authentic patterns with a customized service. The Roman Pond is just one design in the collection and features tonal greys and greens for a luxurious look and feel, the tablets of which are represented in silk and the grouting in wool. Deirdre Dyson's designs can be commissioned, enabling architects, specifiers, interior designers, and private clients to compliment their surroundings or corporate identity. The exquisitely crafted hand made carpets are a speciality but the team can also provide pass machine carpets for large- scale contract projects. In-house designers are on hand to advise on colour matching, measurements, texture and design. A highly professional design service is available for customers, which includes site visits to discuss and oversee individual requirements. Deirdre Dyson is a creative and committed team who are continually developing and experimenting with new ideas leading the way forward in this exciting field of textiles.

Stacy Garcia collaboration


Brintons has teamed up with celebrated New York product designer Stacy Garcia to launch a brand-new Axminster carpet collection called ‘Nuance’. Brintons’ last collaboration with Stacy Garcia was early in 2010 when it launched the very successful ‘Nouveau Boho’ collection that is inspired by global culture and fashion. Stacy Garcia is the namesake of renowned New York-based design house, Stacy Garcia Inc., and has brought her expertise in surface pattern design to a number of mediums that include wallcoverings, fabrics, carpet and accessories. As a visionary, creative design entrepreneur and artist, Stacy Garcia is a leader in the hospitality industry and is recognised for her insights and forecasts. The designs in the brand-new ‘Nuance’ collection are inspired by the ephemeral world and capture nature’s transient moments through a strong focus on abstraction and the organic. Colours and moods are taken from natural elements and the forces of nature: light, sound, sand and the ocean.
