Long-standing independent Oxted business, The Carpet Shop has just launched a new range of sustainable carpet made from recycled plastic bottles.
If you’ve owned a house or flat around Oxted for a while, you’re very likely to have got your carpets from The (Oxted) Carpet Shop!
Volkan Irfan and his lovely wife, Hulya have owned the shop for over 20 years and with manager James, are an integral part of the Oxted business community, having provided the carpets / flooring for many of the Oxted town centre businesses over the years.
You can get pretty much any kind of flooring from The Carpet Shop: from Tiles and Carpet, to laminate and Luxury Vinyl Tiles, and despite being Oxted, you won’t pay through the nose either!
There’s carpet and floor tiles for all budgets, from cheap and cheerful hard wearing for rental properties to super luxury wool carpets and utterly destruction-resistant, bleach-clean (teenager-proof) carpet that will survive the worst abuse from your kids and pets!
Volkan reckons the average spend per m2 is about £30 but you can go much lower… and much higher!
The carpets that are really starting to prove popular are The Carpet Shop’s range of eco friendly and sustainable carpets made from materials such as bamboo, cornstarch and recycled bottles.
Volkan has been selling underlay made from recycled plastic bottles for a while, but the business has just launched a new range of super soft carpets called Breathing Space by ResilonX™, made from recycled plastic bottles. The process that involves reprocessing plastic waste into a carpet material uses 92% less water and 42% less energy for production compared a Nylon carpet and 60% less CO compared to Virgin Nylon.
So, if you buy these carpets, you’re helping to reduce the environmental impact on the planet as well as getting a lovely soft carpet in your home.
The Resilonx® yarn is manufactured by Welspun Flooring, a global leader in the synthetic fibres. The plastic waste is collected, reprocessed, and transformed into chips and spun into a new ResilonX™ yarn, which in turn is used to create a luxuriously soft carpet collection, making it a truly sustainable alternative without compromise on quality.
So next time you’re looking for flooring solutions, pop into to see Volkan or James and they’ll advise you on the best carpet for your budget and needs.
They also have chocolates on the counter if you need a bit of sugar to help you decide. Apparently they get through 3 tubs a month!
