The Measure

• Penn Hill Flooring Ltd will carry out a detailed measure free of charge.

Product information

• All carpet measurements are provided subject to a tolerance of + or - 1.25% in accordance with BS3665.
• Individual samples will be unlikely to be from current production batches and colours should only be used as a guide not an exact match. Where colour is critical we will obtain a stock cutting where possible from the manufacturer/supplier. Carpet shades will be as close as reasonably possible to the samples from which the selection was made, however, minor variations may occur.
• Cut pile carpets may develop "pile reversal" which is a localised change in the direction of pile which alters the pattern of reflected light and shade effect. This naturally occurring phenomenon does not affect the carpets resistance to abrasive wear.
• On all carpet some tracking marks will occur in heavy traffic areas during the normal wear life of the carpet.
• Berber or Berber style carpets may contain random flecks of colour, which sometimes create a lined effect which may not be apparent in a small sample.
• When a new carpet is installed, Penn Hill Flooring Ltd recommends a new underlay as this can have a positive impact on the life of the carpet.

Guarantees

• The customer is responsible for the condition of the sub-floor and if additional preparation work is needed to rectify undisclosed faults in the floor, additional charges will be made.
• A guarantee of 2 years is provided against installation faults and for proven manufacturing defects on all products.
