Textile Flooring Services in Kenya
Textile flooring refers to flooring made from textile materials such as carpets, rugs, and other fabric-based products. They come in different types, sizes, shapes, colors, textures, and materials, so choosing the right one for your home is always a real challenge, even when you’re quite sure what you want.
On top of that, they are more than affordable compared to other types of flooring. In general, their only downside is that they are slightly more demanding when it comes to upkeep and have a shorter lifespan, although, when looked after carefully, they can last for a decade or more.
What we do as part of the Textile Flooring Service
- Project estimation. Before taking on any job, our floor expert will visit your property to determine the scope of work and provide a free quote.
- Selection and design: Our experts will help you select the type of textile flooring (e.g., broadloom carpet, carpet tiles, rugs) and materials based on your needs, preferences, and the intended use of the space.
They will also confirm the design, pattern, and color of the flooring as they make accurate measurements are taken to ensure the right amount of material is ordered. - Preparation for Installation: If necessary, our experts will remove any existing flooring materials, including any adhesive, staples, or padding and properly dispose of or recycle the old materials.
They will also clean the subfloor thoroughly to remove dust, debris, or residues and repair any damage, such as cracks or uneven areas, plus ensure the surface is completely dry.
- Installation: The installation of underlayment or padding will be done if required as this layer provides cushioning, sound insulation, and can extend the life of the flooring. We will ensure the padding is smooth and free of wrinkles.
For broadloom carpets, we will plan the layout to minimize seams and ensure the most efficient use of material. For carpet tiles, we will layout tiles to ensure an even distribution of color and pattern.
We will also cut the textile flooring to fit the space. For broadloom carpets, this involves cutting to size and shaping around edges and corners. For carpet tiles, we will ensure precise cutting for a snug fit.
We will then conduct a thorough inspection of the installation to ensure everything is in place and meets quality standards plus walk through the installed flooring with the client to ensure that they are satisfied with the results and address any final questions or concerns.

Types of Textile Flooring
Carpets
Carpets are very often used to cover floors in residential buildings. They immediately create a warm, cosy feeling and are soft to the touch so you feel as if youre walking barefoot across them. This is why they are perfect for families with small children. Carpets absorb sounds and also cushion the impact when heavy objects are dropped. Furthermore, they are antistatic and self-extinguish. However, carpets in the bedroom can be problematic for people with respiratory problems because they trap a lot of dust. Jute is used in carpet backings, while the upper side is a weave of textiles. Carpets are sold in rolls that are easier to transport and lay.
Rugs
Rugs are also textile floor coverings, but differ from carpets in that they do not have a backing and are knotted, not woven. The knots make their surface more homogeneous and uniform both in thickness, but also in terms of colour and design. Their other characteristics are the same.
Textile Vinyl
This combines a textile surface with a vinyl backing, offering the look and feel of fabric with the durability and ease of maintenance of vinyl.
Wool Flooring
Made from natural wool fibers, this type of flooring is known for its durability, comfort, and natural stain resistance. It’s also environmentally friendly.
Felt Flooring
Made from compressed wool or synthetic fibers, felt flooring is soft and durable, often used in commercial spaces.
Textile Composite Flooring
This type of flooring uses a combination of textile fibers and other materials, providing a balance between softness and durability.
