Carpets & rugs (wall-to-wall) — bulk supply in Lahore

Wall-to-wall carpet is common in Lahore bedrooms, drawing rooms, prayer rooms, mosques, offices, hotels and wedding halls. It softens sound, feels warm in winter and covers an old floor without breaking it. Rugs give a similar feel in rooms with tiled or marble floors and can be moved or cleaned off site.

Types and specifications

What each is used for

• Bedrooms and drawing rooms: cut pile with underlay.
• Offices: loop pile or carpet tiles, which can be replaced individually.
• Mosques and prayer rooms: prayer-line carpet aligned to the qibla direction.
• Hotels and halls: hard-wearing commercial carpet.

Quality checks on delivery

1. Check the roll label for product, colour, batch (dye lot) and size against the invoice.
2. Use one dye lot per room to avoid colour differences.
3. Unroll a section to check for flaws, uneven pile and backing damage.
4. Measure roll width and length.
5. Check underlay type and quantity.
6. Check carpet tiles for consistent size and matching batch.

How much you need

Carpet is measured by room area, but rolls come in fixed widths, so the amount you buy depends on room shape and seam layout.

1. Measure each room's length and width.
2. Ask the supplier for the roll width.
3. Ask the fitter to plan the layout: direction of pile, seam positions and doorways.
4. Add an allowance for trimming at walls; your fitter will advise.

Prayer-line carpets also need the rows aligned correctly, which can change the layout and waste.

Bulk-buying tips

• Same dye lot: order the full quantity at once.
• Fitting: confirm whether the price includes underlay, gripper strips, seaming and fitting.
• Old floor: the base should be clean, dry and level; damp floors can damage carpet.
• Invoice: product, fibre, quantity, dye lot, supplier NTN.
• Payment staging: balance after fitting and inspection.
• Storage: keep rolls dry and flat or as the supplier advises; do not fold.

What affects the price

• Fibre type and blend.
• Pile type, height and density.
• Backing and commercial ratings.
• Roll versus carpet tiles.
• Underlay and fitting.
• Local or imported.
• Quantity, layout waste and delivery.

Wall-to-wall carpet is commonly priced per square foot or square metre. Get written quotes for the same specification, with fitting listed separately.

FAQs

Is wall-to-wall carpet good for Lahore's climate? It is comfortable in winter but collects dust, so it needs regular vacuuming. Many homes use it in bedrooms and prayer rooms and keep tiles elsewhere.

Carpet tiles or roll carpet for an office? Carpet tiles are easier to replace in sections; roll carpet gives fewer joints. Both are common.

Does carpet need underlay? Underlay adds comfort and helps carpet last longer. Ask your supplier what suits the product.

How do I clean wall-to-wall carpet? Regular vacuuming and periodic professional cleaning; follow the manufacturer's care guidance.

Can carpet be laid over tiles? Yes, on a clean, dry and level floor.
