About the service
Broadloom carpet, installed wall to wall from a continuous roll, brings a quality to a space that no other floor surface can fully replicate. It is soft underfoot, acoustically generous, visually warm, and available across a breadth of pile constructions, fibre types and colourways that allows it to serve everything from a hotel suite requiring understated luxury through to a school corridor demanding exceptional durability at a practical price point.
New Floors Nation supplies and installs broadloom carpet from Belgotex, one of South Africa’s most trusted carpet manufacturers, across a comprehensive range that includes loop pile, cut pile, textured and patterned constructions. Our team manages accurate measurement, seam planning, subfloor preparation and professional installation to deliver a wall-to-wall result that is taut, seamless and built to perform over the long term.
Superior Acoustic Performance
Wall-to-wall carpet absorbs airborne sound and significantly reduces impact noise throughout a space.
Warmth Underfoot
Broadloom carpet provides a thermal comfort layer that hard floor surfaces simply cannot match.
Wide Design Range
Our Belgotex range spans hundreds of colourways, pile heights and constructions for every environment.
Professional Measurement and Installation
Precise measurement and careful seam planning ensure a seamless, taut result with invisible joins.
The Broadloom Carpet Range, Construction, Fibre and Application
Broadloom carpet is defined by its pile construction, and the construction determines its performance profile. Loop pile carpet, where the yarn forms continuous loops across the surface, is the most durable construction, highly resistant to crushing and matting, and the preferred choice for commercial corridors, offices and institutional spaces. Cut pile carpet, where the loops are cut to create individual yarn tufts, offers a softer, more luxurious feel suited to bedrooms, living areas and hospitality environments. Textured and twist pile constructions combine the softness of cut pile with greater resilience, as the yarn twist reduces the appearance of footprints and shading that can affect plainer cut piles. The fibre type is an equally important variable: polypropylene offers exceptional stain resistance and durability at a practical price point; nylon combines softness with outstanding wear resistance; and wool blends bring natural temperature regulation, resilience and a premium feel to higher-specification installations. Our Belgotex range includes options from the Aqua, Conscious, Immerse, Mindful, Serengeti, Westminster and Conqueror collections, among others, each designed with specific performance and aesthetic goals. Our team helps you navigate the selection based on your room’s function, traffic level, maintenance expectations and design brief.
Key Elements of Interior Design
Broadloom carpet installation is a skilled trade. Accurate measurement and seam planning before a single cut is made determines whether the finished floor looks seamless or reveals every join
- Accurate measurement and seam planning before installation
- Gripper rod fixed at correct distance from skirting
- Subfloor preparation and underlay specification
- Power stretching for a taut, ripple-free result
- Seams positioned in low-traffic areas where possible
- Hot-melt seam tape for clean, invisible joins
- Appropriate underlay selected for comfort and performance
- Residential, commercial and hospitality applications
Subfloor preparation, correct gripper rod fixing, proper stretching with a power stretcher, and careful seaming and trimming are the technical foundations of an installation that will hold its form and appearance over years of use.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between broadloom carpet and carpet tile?
Broadloom is installed from a continuous roll, wall to wall, with seams managed by the installer. It offers superior acoustic performance and a more seamless visual result in most residential applications. Carpet tile offers modular replaceability and greater design flexibility, making it the preferred choice for many commercial environments. Both have their strengths and we will help you determine the right system for your specific requirements.
What underlay should I use with broadloom carpet?
The underlay is as important as the carpet itself. A quality underlay improves comfort underfoot, extends the life of the carpet by absorbing impact, provides thermal insulation and enhances acoustic performance. We specify the appropriate underlay density and thickness based on the carpet construction and the application.
How do you handle seams in large rooms?
Seam planning is one of the most important pre-installation steps in a broadloom project. We plan seam positions to fall in the least visible and least trafficked areas of the room, and we use professional seaming techniques, including hot-melt tape and careful pile direction management, to ensure joins are as invisible as possible.
Can broadloom carpet be installed on stairs?
Yes. Stair installation requires specific techniques including accurate cutting around nosings, secure gripper rod fixing at each tread and riser, and careful pattern matching on patterned carpets. Our team is experienced in stair installations and manages this as part of a broader project or as a standalone service.
