Fitted carpets, or wall-to-wall carpets, create a warm, seamless look across any room. Secured edge-to-edge, they enhance comfort underfoot while improving insulation and sound absorption. Best suited for bedrooms, living spaces, and offices, fitted carpets add luxury and coziness. With a wide choice of colors and textures, they are versatile and compatible with underfloor heating when selected with a low tog rating. While not ideal for wet areas, fitted carpets remain a timeless flooring solution for style and comfort in Cyprus homes and businesses.
A fitted carpet, also known as wall-to-wall carpeting, is a type of carpet that is cut and installed to cover an entire room's floor area, providing a seamless look from wall to wall. It is typically secured with adhesive, tack strips, or grippers around the room's perimeter to stay firmly in place.
Fitted carpets are suitable for most rooms, especially those where comfort and warmth are desired, such as bedrooms, living rooms, and offices. However, they may not be ideal for high-moisture areas like kitchens or bathrooms, as carpets can retain moisture and are harder to clean in wet environments.
Yes, fitted carpets can often be installed over existing floors as long as the existing surface is clean, dry, and level. However, in some cases, it may be recommended to remove the old flooring for the best results, especially if the old surface is uneven, unstable or has damage.
Yes, fitted carpets can be used with underfloor heating, but it’s important to choose a carpet with a low tog rating (thermal resistance) to ensure efficient heat transfer. Check the underfloor heating system’s specifications and the carpet manufacturer’s recommendations to confirm compatibility.
Fitted carpets cannot be refinished like wood floors, but they can be repaired if damaged. Small stains or minor wear can sometimes be addressed with spot cleaning or patching, while more significant damage may require carpet replacement in the affected area. Regular cleaning and maintenance can also help prolong the carpet's life and appearance.
