Loop pile berber across DA7
Berber seams are where cheap fitters lose the job — a pulled loop unwinds across the whole width. We use double-sided seaming tape and a heat-set edge on every Barnehurst berber install so nothing runs.

Barnehurst carpet — the details that matter
- Stair nosings
Older Barnehurst stairs often have shallow treads — we re-cut grippers rather than force a standard kit.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1930s bay-fronted semis doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Barnehurst bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Chunky loop pile that hides marks and footprints
- Extra-careful seaming — loops must not pull
- Suits hallways, landings and open-plan lounges
- Wool and polypropylene berbers both fitted
Bottom line: berber hides marks that show up on plush pile every time — perfect for a busy Barnehurst home.
