1. Where can I fit natural flooring in
my home?
Natural flooring is by its very nature NATURAL and reacts in areas of high
moisture and heat. Excessive dampness may occasionally cause shrinkage or mould
so we do not recommend any of our products, except 100% wool range, for bathrooms
or kitchens.
Jute is not hard wearing and should only be used in bedrooms or in rooms where
there is light foot fall.
2. Which
flooring is suitable for stairs?
We do not recommend Seagrass,
Mountain Grass or large loop pile
carpet for stairs. Please refer to
our suitability giudelines at all
times.
