bill dunham Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 We are looking for replacements for the foam-backed carpet sets in out 1995 Hymer B584 motorhome, but have been surprised to finf very few companies offering this service. One prominent supplier only offers "action-back" rather than foam back carpeting, but we are keen to have the latter due to their superior noise suppression. Can anybody recommend a suitable supplier of a high quality product please? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 If sound insulation is important for you - as it is for us - may I suggest using a foam backed carpet underlay under the new carpet ? Takes longer to fit obviously but insulates and soundproofs a lot better too - and feels luxuriously great underfoot in bare feet - well it does in our Autotrail anyway !?!?!

Rayjsj Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I think the reason that 'Foam Backed' carpet is no loger readily available is that the 'Foam' degrades into Powder in just a few years. I would think that a quality hessian backed carpet with Sound deadening felt bonded to it's back would be a better bet ? Lots of Online carpet suppliers will 'Cut to size' and 'Whip' the edges for you. Not sure about the cost though. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuxDeluxe Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I just got some carpets made up by Ace carpets of Dunmow. They did a good job - you can take your own carpet in and they will cut and edge for you. I chose some bleach and stain proof stuff - no backing but it wasn't a priority for me.

If so go to their carpet department and ask if they have a local contractor that binds carpets. If they have and give you details you could take the old carpets as a template and the contractor could make to up new carpets from what ever they have in stock. If you live near MK I can put you in touch with a conpany. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bind a Rug 10 Darin Ct Crownhill, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire MK8 0AD 01908 561 300 When we recently had the bedroom carpet replaced we had them make up a couple of runners from the bits that were left. When we visited they had all sorts of carpets there. If you give them a ring they will give you some idea of cost. They don't take cards for payment, at least they didn't about a year ago. Crownhill is on the old A5 not far from CMK. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi Bill, we used this company when we replaced the carpets in our 2002 Knaus Traveller http://www.kustomsport.co.uk They kept our old carpets for templates and within a few days we called back to collect the new. They fitted perfectly and are of very good quality. They've lots of choice too and although we did not have foam backed ones I am certain (well almost?!) that they can provide these. Your profile does not say where you are based but the company is on the outskirts of Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Well worth a visit/phone call.

vindiboy Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 We simply bought some good quality Hessian backed carpet from a local carpet shop, cut the carpet using the original as a pattern and then had it edge bound at a local carpet outlet, what noise are you worried about in the Hymer, mine is very quiet ?

Merle Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi, We had a set of Axminster carpets cut to our paper patterns for our Autocruise Wentworth by http://www.briantherugman.com/ Absolutely superb job, fully bound and being Axminster the very best quality. Brian is freindly helpful and a very genuine guy, plus reasonable prices. What more can you ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
