FAQs: Carpet Flooring at Guthrie Bowron

What are the benefits of choosing carpet from Guthrie Bowron? Carpet from Guthrie Bowron adds comfort, warmth, and acoustic insulation to your home. Our extensive range includes styles and materials that are soft underfoot, reduce noise, and help improve indoor air quality by trapping dust and allergens until vacuumed. Many of our carpets also feature stain-resistant technology and slip-reduction properties, ideal for family living.

What should I consider when buying carpet from Guthrie Bowron?
Start by thinking about where the carpet will be installed, bedrooms, living areas, hallways, or stairs and the level of foot traffic. At Guthrie Bowron, our team can help you navigate carpet types based on durability, fibre (like wool or solution-dyed nylon), colour preferences, 
and whether you need added insulation or moisture resistance. Visit us in-store to explore options suited to your needs.

What is carpet underlay, and is it included?
Carpet underlay is an essential layer placed between your subfloor and carpet. Guthrie Bowron offers a selection of high-quality underlays designed to add comfort, improve insulation, extend the life of your carpet, and reduce noise. Our team can recommend the best underlay to match your chosen carpet and room type.

Which carpet types are best for high-traffic areas?
At Guthrie Bowron, we recommend solution-dyed nylon (SDN) carpets for high-traffic zones. They’re durable, colourfast, and resistant to stains perfect for hallways, stairs, or busy family spaces.

Is wool carpet from Guthrie Bowron worth the investment?
Definitely. Our wool carpets are a premium, eco-friendly option that provides excellent insulation and a luxurious feel underfoot. Wool is naturally resilient and long-lasting, making it a smart investment for both comfort and sustainability.

Can I get carpet for my garage at Guthrie Bowron?
Yes. We offer garage carpet specifically designed to handle heavy wear and tear, with moisture and stain resistance built in. It’s a great option for multipurpose or high-use garage spaces.

How do I choose the right carpet colour?
Our in-store specialists can help you select a colour based on your room’s size, lighting, and overall interior style. Lighter tones can make smaller spaces feel more open, while darker colours add warmth and help hide daily wear.

  • Loop pile carpets are durable and textured, great for high-traffic areas.
