Blackfen carpet — the details that matter
- Blackfen subfloor reality
Original pine floorboards everywhere — every LVT or vinyl job here gets ply'd first.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Blackfen bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.
- Doorway transitions
Most 1930s bay-fronted semis doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.

Bottom line: pay for wool once, get 15 years. Pay for polyester twice.

Wool Carpet Fitting in Blackfen — common questions
Measurably — the trapped air in wool fibres insulates. A Blackfen bedroom on wool over 10mm underlay is genuinely 2–3°C warmer underfoot than the same room on synthetic.
No — wool is naturally flame-resistant. Synthetic carpets need chemical treatment to meet the same standard, which some Blackfen families would rather avoid.
Modern wool blends are moth-treated at the mill. In 20 years of DA15 fits we've had one moth issue — and that was a rug over the top, not the carpet.
For a low-traffic Blackfen main bedroom, yes — softer, warmer, more expensive. For stairs and hallways, 80/20 is the smarter spec because the nylon adds abrasion resistance.
