Almost every home in the United Kingdom has at least a little bit of carpet in it, whether it is a rug, a single room or the whole house has carpets throughout. These days carpet is totally ubiquitous and can be found everywhere from the newest luxury apartments in central Wembley to the smallest bungalows in the Lake District. Carpet is central to having a comfortable and warm home. Stepping out of bed in the middle of January before the heating has kicked in onto hard a wood floor is not an experience anybody chooses to have twice, and it is no wonder that most of the UK choose to have a rug or carpet in the bedroom.
Before about forty years ago, carpet was not as commonplace in the UK as it is now, but cheaper production of carpet and increased quality of carpet fitters with industry standards and governing bodies has made it much more popular. Rising fuel costs and heating bills have also made people more likely to call in the carpet fitters, as carpet is an excellent way of keeping the home cosy and warm without reaching for the thermostat!
Carpet fitters are also popular because carpet reduces noise in the home, insulates the property and has even been demonstrated to reduce the impact of allergens and dust! So, with all the obvious benefits of carpet, what about the carpet fitters central to it all?
Carpet Fitters in the Past
Central to the story of carpet are the carpet fitters. Wall to wall carpet became more and more popular up to the 1950s as advances in the mass production of factory produced carpets made it easier and cheaper for carpet fitters to carpet a room. Before that, carpet fitters would actually weave the carpet on site, bespoke for each room, fitting the carpet as they went. This meant that carpet fitters had to be highly skilled and were involved in the whole process of the production of the carpet. Developments in the weaving process then led carpet fitters to use strips of carpet material. These long runs of pre-woven carpet could be tacked or nailed in place and cut to the shape and length of the room. This development in strip carpet gave rise to the fashion for carpet to be fitted on stairs and in hallways. Now we know the history of fitted carpet, what about modern carpet fitters?
