Price

A very affordable option

Wool carpet is one of the most affordable flooring options you can have - even when you take into account installation and underlay costs.

Make sure you compare apples with apples when evaluating the costs of any flooring. Carpet can often be quoted in linear metres not square metres - making it sound a lot more expensive than it is. (A linear metre is the length of a standard carpet roll - 3.66m). To find out the square metre price, simply divide the linear metre price by 3.66. Try our handy floor calculator if you're trying to work out how much carpet you'll need.

You also need to factor in the cost of the underlay and the installation - but again this is minimal, especially when compared to the installation costs of hard flooring options such as tiles and wood laminates.

Quality really does pay for itself. If you're planning to stay in your home for any length of time, you want a carpet that will last the distance and still look great in five or ten years, not shabby after two.

So while price is a critical decision factor, you need to be confident that saving a few dollars now, won't lead to disappointment in the very near future.

More than 90 percent of Cavalier Bremworth's residential carpets are graded Extra Heavy Duty -giving you more wool per square cm than a lower grade carpet - it means it looks better and lasts much longer. So you do get what you pay for.
