The UK’s leading manufacturer of fibre bonded carpet and carpet tiles has created a dedicated website www.carpetsforeducation.co.uk which provides a whole host of relevant advice on selecting the right carpet for an educational environment, plus information on installing the carpet, with ‘how to’ guides and case studies of recent educational projects – in fact everything a local authority, school or college needs to choose the best carpet to suit their requirements.
Heckmondwike is widely seen as the experts in supplying carpets to the education sector having manufactured over 38 million square metres of carpets for schools, colleges and universities over the last four decades. In total, that includes working with over 100 local authorities and 15,000 schools.
Bob Mortimer, Sales Director for Heckmondwike FB, said: “We have concentrated four decades of knowledge onto one website, which now gives customers an invaluable source of information on choosing carpets for educational environments. Carpets for schools, colleges and universities have very specific requirements and we wanted to make it as simple as possible for specifiers and end-customers. Our new website provides a wealth of information to ensure that customers can select the best carpet that is fit for purpose and will deliver the performance they need for the long term.”
One of the most valuable tools on the website is the product selector. Here, specifiers can input for what purpose and location the carpet is required, what type of surface appearance and texture they prefer, plus a whole host of other relevant details. The website will then provide a number of options that best suits their needs.
Detailed ‘how to’ guides give some of the most relevant and valuable advice available on installation and maintenance, how to remove different stains from a carpet, purchasing considerations and how to place an order. Specifiers can also order samples through the website, as well as view a number of case studies of schools and other educational environments where Heckmondwike carpets have been installed.
Bob Mortimer continues: “We are really excited about what the new website will mean for specifying carpets in the education sector. There really is nowhere else that provides as much dedicated information on this subject and we have already had some very positive feedback.”
