Carpet - 100% Wool
Carpet throughout your dwelling has been selected to provide a soft, maintainable, yet durable floor finish. If your dwelling has plush (cut) pile carpet, permanent pile reversal shading (also known as “watermarking”) may randomly appear in the carpet creating an effect that resembles water spillage or stains due to reversal of the pile direction in the carpet. This variation in lightening or darkening of the carpet is caused by the reflection of light from pile tufts, which come to settle in different directions. It is not a defect and is a permanent change in appearance. Shading will not occur in loop pile carpet. In some instances joins within the carpet may appear prominent (also known as “peaking”) and occurs with all carpet that is heat bonded. This is not a fault in installation and over time the wax from the heat bonded is flattened and the fibers of the yarn entangle reducing the visual prominence of the join. Regular maintenance will increase the life span of all types of carpet. The five basic steps of an adequate maintenance program are:
Light coloured carpets should be professionally cleaned every 6-12 months, to maintain a satisfactory appearance in the carpet.
Please note that the manufacturer does not recommend “scotch guarding” carpet
External Balcony Tiles
To ensure good drainage and prevent a build up of dirt or dampness around outdoor pot plants, all pots should be raised slightly off the paved surface and have a drip tray. Very large, heavy pots should also be avoided, to prevent excessive loads on the building structure. Always keep balconies and drains free of leaves and debris as these may cause flooding in heavy rain.
External tiles are laid on balconies and in some instances are laid on waterproofing membrane and acoustic sound board. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the waterproofing membrane.
