Because our carpet showroom in Witney sells traditional and oriental rugs, customers from the nearby Eynsham area can add warmth, define space and put rich colours and textures into any part of a home. We stock a wide range of flooring supplies, and our rugs have proven to be popular because they are incredibly versatile as design elements.
Lay rugs over carpets, laminates and wood flooring installations for a softer underfoot feel that turns a property into a home.
Not all traditional rugs are handmade, whereas oriental rugs are. It is common for traditional rugs to have a historic style but, at the same time, these can be supplied as modern and machine-made products too. Oriental rugs, on the other hand, typically derive from Asia.
Make the short trip from Eynsham to our carpet showroom in Witney to view a vast selection of carpets, floors, rugs and much more.
Construction
While some traditional rugs are hand-knotted, it is mostly common to have them manufactured by machine in a synthetic material like nylon or polyester. Oriental rugs are always manufactured by hand and our stock range of flooring supplies includes Persian rugs made in Iran.
Each of these products can be used over carpets but work especially well on wood flooring installations to add warmth to Eynsham homes.
Fringes
Traditional rugs at our carpet showroom have fringes which are added after manufacture, either by machine or sewn in by hand. Oriental rugs have fringes which are a physical part of a product’s structure and these are created by the manufacturer using the warp threads.
Customers from Eynsham can choose between the two based on their own design preferences and the look that they want to achieve in a home.
Design
With traditional rugs, it is still possible to choose something like a Persian or Turkish design but with modern flooring supplies, these looks are usually mimicked. Oriental rugs, on the other hand, have a more abstract, floral or geometric design but cost a little more.
What you choose to lay inside an Eynsham home is down to you but our carpet showroom recommends high-end products if it is affordable.
Care
Because traditional rugs normally have synthetic fibres, they clean easily with a vacuum cleaner and are highly durable. Oriental rugs have natural fibres and their hand-knotted construction means that the customer needs to apply specialist care to maintain condition.
Our carpet showroom, just 15 minutes away from Eynsham, can advise you on how to care for oriental rugs based on the product chosen.
As you can see, there is more to traditional and oriental rugs than what meets the eye. The same could be said of all flooring supplies at our carpet showroom, including a wood flooring installation, and what might work well in one Eynsham home might not work in another.
We will, of course, always be on hand to guide you.
The Flooring Centre has already satisfied many customers in Eynsham, and in the surrounding areas, who have initially come to us looking for rugs but have left us knowing that when it comes to service, a retail park alternative rarely comes close to matching our approach.
