We've Moved!

Hello from our new showroom!

We have recently made the move from our micro-showroom in Tonteg, Pontypridd, to larger premises in nearby Llantwit Fardre. This expansion allows us to stock a larger range of carpets and flooring and to meet more of our customers in person, whilst continuing to run our popular online store.

In the new premises, which are at Windsor House, Main Road, Llantwit Fardre, we now carry a larger range of solid wood flooring, laminate flooring, vinyl flooring, carpets and carpet tiles and commercial flooring. Lots of visitors are popping in to ask about Karndean. This is an exceptionally hard wearing wood-effect vinyl flooring which is right on-trend at the moment and is incredibly practical and durable.

As one of the leading floor suppliers in south Wales, we offer a friendly, local and expert service. The expansion is an exciting move for us and we look forward to welcoming even more customers to our showroom. We are open between 9am-5pm, seven days a week, so to find out more call us on 01443 209021, visit www.selectflooringwales.co.uk or just pop in to say hello!

Changing Your Carpets – What You Should Know!

Whether your carpet has been on the receiving end of a nasty spill or it’s simply time for a new look, don’t make any expensive decisions without reading our guide to buying new carpets:

Think about the use of the room. Light colours won’t stand up well against children’s activities and pets’ paws, whilst through-rooms and corridors will need practicality over prettiness.

In addition to the style, think about the carpet fibres. Common options are nylon, polyester, wool and synthetic fibres, each with their own plus and minus points. Have a chat to Select Flooring staff to see which is best for your property.

Don’t skimp on the underlay. It may seem like a tempting chance to cut costs, but a good-quality underlay will enhance durability and increase the life of your carpet.

Think about your options. For example, a stair runner might look nice over painted floorboards or a mish-mash of rugs might create an individual look to a room.

If you need to change a carpet due to a pet having an accident, you might need to take steps other than just a straightforward replacement. Wash the walls in the relevant area and spray all round with an enzyme cleaner before laying the new carpet.

Which Solid Flooring is Best for You?

You’ve chosen solid flooring over carpet and tiles – but the decisions don’t stop there. A range of solid flooring options is available, and the right one for you will depend on your property and lifestyle.

Solid wood is a popular choice as quality wood adds style and warmth to any room. It’s one of the most durable options and can add value to your home. As one of the leading wood floor suppliers in south Wales, Select Flooring specialises in varieties such as walnut and oak and has a range of finishes including lacquered, brushed and oiled.

Karndean is a practical and durable alternative floor covering which is ideal for the demands of a busy home or commercial property. Made from an exceptionally hardwearing form of customised vinyl, Karndean mirrors the look of natural flooring without the practical drawbacks. This low-maintenance option is great for high-footfall areas or homes with pets, and suits lower budgets.

Laminate is a multi-layer synthetic flooring which is fused together via a lamination process. It has the appearance of wood – or sometimes stone – due to a photographic layer beneath a clear, protective veneer. It continues to be a popular option for light domestic use as it’s easy to install, easy to maintain and costs less than solid wood flooring. Our selection includes traditional appearances such as oak and walnut, plus contemporary blues, greys and blacks.
