THE CARPET sets tho scene, and when it is an Axminster or Wilton woven ono, it


get all about it once it’s in­ stalled because it' needs so little care and attention. A patterned one such as this ‘Dunelm’ Axminster by Hugh Maokay is ideal for a bache­ lor flat or working couple. Suitable for medium domes­ tic use (BCC classification),


ing the floor it’s value-for- money you want. Not neces­ sarily the cheapest carpet initially, but the cheapest in terms of the years you ex-


allows you to relax and for- pecj the carpet to do its job


and’ look its best. So shop around; visit different retail carpet shops and stores. Do a little homework first. This isn't very difficult these days, as reliable retailers dis­ play carpets which cany the informative British Carpet Centre labels. You will find


them attached to Axmin- sters and Wiltons in pattern ’books and samples, caapet squares and broadloom pieces on stacks in the middle of the showroom, as well as on narrow and wide—or broad­ loom—rolls.


INFORMATIVE Among other things the


BBC label tells you the type of use for which the carpet is suitable. There are five classifications which enable c vou to choose the right


depending on the amount;. of ‘traffic’ in your home or the different rooms in it;—


Light domestic e.g. bed­


room use. Light to medium domes­


tic use. Medium domestic or light


contract use. Heavy domestic and/or


medium contract use. Luxury domestic and/or


heavy contract use. When you buy. tell the


salesman not only which room the carpet is intended for. but the use normally made of the room, and in this way he will be able to assess the amount of wear the carpet it likely to receive. For example, a dining-room in one household may be used only at mealtimes and would be adequately car­

Buying a carpet isn't just an expensive process.

But in another home the dining-room may be fur­ nished with a, television set and easy chairs, and obvi­ ously receives much more concentrated wear.

COFFEE PARTY CARPET CHAT


IN MY PART of the world, morning coffee party chat keeps turning lo carpels. I suppose it’s understandable. There isn’t one among us who hasn't got a fitted carpet somewhere in her home now and most of us are getting


round to wall-to-wall throughout. Well, it saves cleaning time


. and none of us likes to


scrub and polish bare floors. And it’s marvellous how a fitted caipet keeps the noise down; makes all the differ­ ence—radios, television . . . and so many of the kids make their own music, or, at any rate a lot of noise . . . Then there are the planes, more and more of ■them and -they are even worse than cars when it comes to disturbing the domestic peace.


However, carpts are full of


surprises nowadays. When we bought our first, way back in 1949, we just went, to a well known shop and told -the


salesman what we wanted. There wasn’t much choice •then so soon after the war, and our fawn, coloured Wil­ ton, made of wool, seemed dear at the' time. But we've still got it—twenty years later and two homes removed. Cut down to the size of my teenage daughter's room, it’s indestructible.


Since then we, and most


of our neighbours, have •tried all sorts of new types and they do provide hilarious topics of conversation. But that’s about it. In the shops most caipets look and feel more or less the same. I don't mean the colours, nor the many patterns and textures, but the backs and top sur­ faces . . . all


terrifically


strong and firm to the touch of the hand. But you soon find out bow different they can be in use.


One of the girls complained


the other morning that she simply can’t shift the bits of


by Belinda Paul


and he is patient when you ask him questions. But neither he nor his salesmen, ever blind you with scientific gobbledegook. I am glad his string of retail shops has flourished for years.


‘‘Let’s take your tales one


by one,” suggested Mi-. Blon- dell. “Your friend who finds the living-room Axminster carpet easier to sweep than ■the now bedroom one, absolutely right. And it has nothing to do with plain or pattern. It's a matter of car­ pet construction. Axmin­ sters—and for that matter Wiltons too—have a woven warp-and-weffc backing which allows the air to circulate freely. Dirt and fluff are easily removed, especially w-'ith the suction action of a vacuum cleaner. Y o u r friend’s bedroom carpet has probably got a rubber or latex back.


“The. little shocks some


people experience in newly carpeted areas. That’s called static electricity and has only indirectly to do with carpet­ ing as- walking causes some friction. Static is ■ really due to dry atmosphere and cen­ tral heating. I t can be irri­ tating in big offices with a lot of metal furniture and machinery, especially i f the carpeting is made of a hun­ dred per cent non-absorbent man-made fibre. In the home static is quite simple to avoid if you keep a bowl of water —or even a vase of flowers or a plant—in a centrally


sewing cotton and fluff that heated room. There are some seem to appear f r om nowhere, however often she runs the vacuum cleaner over her new bedroom carpet. Yet she has no trouble at all with the chintzy floral Axminster


in their living-room. And she swears it ’s not because the upstairs one is plain and shows the dirt more . . .


And Mary-Ann told us that


her husband finds it awfully amusing -that the girls at his office keep getting tiny but startling electric shocks since some new type of carpeting has been installed. A hun­ dred per cent man-made fibre carpet was chosen, he was told, because spilled liquids such as -tea and ink don’t sink in. Easy to wipe it clean, they said. Well, i f it’s not one thing it ’s another.


Enough, I thought, of the


anti-static sprays, but they don’t last very long and who wants -the extra work and ex­ pense of applying them at home? Much simpler to buy carpets which minimise the possibility of static. Axmin- ster and Wiltons are best be­ cause there are so many dif­ ferent ranges which contain wool and nylon. The wool holds a bit of humidity and •the nylon gives' the extra strength.


“That’s the thing about


coffee party chitchat and offered to seek out Mr. Blon- dell. He really knows. He is a carpet retailer who has seen new things come and go for years. He visits fac­ tories, he reads those -trade and technical publications, he listens to all kinds of ex­ perts, he sends his staff on maker as well as by ithe dn- courses to keep up-to-date, dustry jointly.
