Broadloom for Wall-to-Wall Installation
Almost all of our natural sisal, synthetic sisal and tufted wool is available for purchase as broadloom for wall-to-wall installation. You may purchase or request a quote online or if you prefer, contact us directly with your yardage needs. See categories below for additional details about our broadloom.
Installation:
While we are able to supply and deliver the material, unfortunately, we do not offer installation services. However, upon request, we can provide you and your installer with detailed installation guidelines. To determine your yardage requirements, we recommend that you contact a local installer before placing your order to make sure that you are getting exactly the amount you'll need.
Natural Sisal
Most of our natural fiber weaves (including both our Premium and Everyday lines) are available as broadloom for wall-to-wall installation, with a few exceptions. Jute or hemp weaves should never be installed because of their questionable performance in many environments. In fact we don't even sell those weaves as raw yardage. Some of our seagrass weaves are available as broadloom, with one caveat: because seagrass undergoes very little processing before being handspun into cords, it may retain some moisture when it is woven. As a result, seagrass can be susceptible to mold or mildew and should never be used in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, or other damp or humid environments. In humid regions use seagrass rugs only in climate controlled or well ventilated rooms.
Natural sisal is beautiful, but note that installation can be tricky, and it may be difficult to find a carpet installer who will take on the challenge of laying sisal and doing seam work. When calling installers in your area, be sure to ask if they have experience working with sisal or other natural fibers. The recommended installation method is direct glue-down. Please also note: natural fibers tend to fluctuate (expanding and contracting) depending upon climate and humidity levels, so the listed roll width may vary by 1-2 inches—something to keep in mind when calculating how much material to order.
Synthetic Sisal
All of our synthetic sisal weaves—including TEC, Heather, Synthesis, Bolon and Anywhere—are available as broadloom for wall-to-wall installation. Synthetics won't warp or fluctuate the way natural fibers do, so they're much easier to install than natural fiber floor coverings. Keep in mind, however, that most of our synthetic sisal has a maximum roll width of 6’ 7”, therefore if your room is wider than 6’ 7”, seaming will be an inevitable part of the installation process. Our Anywhere synthetic sisal is an exception; it has a roll width of 13’2”. Consult a professional installer for technical advice, including how much material to order for proper installation. The recommended installation method is direct glue-down.
Also, unless you're installing in a very small space, we recommend steering clear of patterned weaves like the Bolon Zigzags or Lex Blends, because it will be nearly impossible to match the pattern at the seam.
Tufted Wool
Our tufted wool floor coverings are a popular choice for installation in bedrooms and living rooms. With their jute backing, our wool weaves can be installed via direct glue-down or stretched over a pad. Again, consult your installer for technical advice.
Important!:
If you plan to order broadloom material for wall-to-wall installation, be sure to inspect and measure the material before you (or your installer) cuts or alters it in any way. Once the material has been cut or installed, we cannot accept returns, claims or consider allowances.
